They've skated by with this sort of completely insensitive handling of customers for years and my (completely anecdotal) recent experience is that less technical people are starting to take note. I have friends who have never cared abo

I've started moving towards this sort of thing for my daily work using Logseq's journal feature. I add small snippets of detail about conversations and findings I have during the workday to a daily note. I've found it really

When I first heard about it I knew it was going to be some sort of "public" AI, which makes it a no-go for me for work stuff. I do daily drive it for work, though, and have found the tab management to be really great. I know I can

Bitwarden is not perfect, but calling `pass` "easy" is comical - especially for those of us sharing passwords with far less technical family members - and 1Password has a very opinionated UI that seems to get more in the way than

As much as I hate what Google has done with Chrome and I choose not to use it, the comparisons to the IE6-8 dominance are even more acute when you consider that Chrome is also successful in the enterprise due to its support for both typical

I'm more interested in the long-term psychological effects of sleep training and how it affects a child's perception of "secure attachment" [1]. We sleep trained our oldest and did not our youngest and their personalitie

I've gone years without social media at a time and now I've finally learned to just balance it better. - On Facebook, I heavily scrutinize the friends I accept and use the "hide" button judiciously. I also only check it

Surely someone here knows better than me, but it seems Google's dominance in this space is not due to pure mapping data (although that also seems to be the best in the world) - it's due to the massive amounts of data the join in w

Yeah, I have SPF, DKIM, and a strict DMARC policy all configured for Fastmail, but some hosts just refuse to pass the mail. It's pretty random and sporadic, but it happens. I've also had some web forms refuse to recognize it as a

I have had several issues with my personal .me domain. I’ve attributed it to poorly configured systems that consider it risky simply because it’s the TLD for Montenegro - despite it having millions of registrations for other legitimate purp

Obsidian works perfectly fine with iCloud Drive if you're bought into the Apple ecosystem. It also works well with Google Drive, but that doesn't play well with iOS.

I just started using Duplicati last week as my backup for ~900GB worth of photos, music, and other assorted data in an Ubuntu RAID1 array to Backblaze B2. I noticed it was a little sketchy when I poked at it (i.e. pausing the backup), but d

This was true 3-5 years ago, but you can now buy OEM laptops with Linux preinstalled that "just work" the same as a Mac. Granted, in the long run I don't expect many to be able to maintain Linux unless they're pretty tec

While I agree that there are definitely some cautionary tales regarding microservices, consistent and autonomous delivery across many teams with a complex monolith is equally if not more difficult than some of the cons that come with micros

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has bounced around between note apps with varied success. I too have settled mostly on Obsidian, especially for work. The Markdown support is excellent and I am finding some useful plugins. I do s

The biggest obstacle to this is not necessarily technology, but the vastly different ways SaaS companies opt to go to market via reseller channels - or don't. Google and Microsoft have both had established reseller channels for a long

I've bounced around Google, Microsoft, and Fastmail for the last 4-5 years trying to find a sort of "holy grail" solution but I've learned there really isn't one. Google comes closest (for me personally), but the pr

I got interested in networking trying to setup XBconnect to play Halo 1 over the internet. That led to using a Splinter Cell exploit to install Linux on my Xbox and then eventually installing Ubuntu 7.04 on my PC. My first job was standing

I did not experience this. My iOS Bedtime alarm went off as expected even though it was moved to Health (and I didn't notice until seeing this article).

I've been using DDG for a long time and it really seems like the results have gotten less accurate and informative in the last year or so. For a while I was very satisfied and typically could find what I was looking for, even in the ar

I did it for about a month a few years ago and it was really refreshing. I’ve been trending back in that direction. I got an iPhone SE and uninstalled most apps. I still really enjoy having a few things: maps, camera, and messaging. I don’t

I did the same several years ago. Dropped a GMail account I had for ~10+ years and switched to Fastmail. I hard deleted the account. In hindsight I wish I hadn’t _deleted_ it but I’ve really only run into that on a very small number of occa

I can relate to this. Took a job in product management that some days makes me feel great and other days just makes me want to shut everything down and walk away. It’s cripplingly stressful sometimes the amount of responsibility and lack of

I like to think I am leaning in that direction! I have no real desire at this point in my career to be an executive unless it's an executive with a close association to the technical problems/decisions facing a company. I feel lik

I became a PM last year only months after learning what a PM actually is. I did not have a software or product background, but I did have a significant technical background in the product domain for which I was hired. I have found the entir

I’ve tried nearly every major app/service and always end up on Standard Notes. It strikes the perfect balance for me between privacy, ease of use, and functionality. Prior to settling on SN I was a big fan of Simplenote and nvALT, but

This is something I never even considered but I love the idea of leaning more on my Kindle Paperwhite and less on my iPad. Going to give it a shot!

Ditto. At first the biggest thing I struggled with was less-obvious profile support in FF, but container tabs and a bookmark on the toolbar to “about:profiles” nearly completely solved that. Now I greatly prefer my FF config and am glad to
