Seems to be a nice option, but the way it handles the notch... I think the second bar that Bartender has and Ice will eventually have[0] works better. For now, I'll support Ice because it's open source. I'll donate more than

That's on the roadmap: https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice/issues/67 The dev is also working on a second bar (like Bartender has) that should fix the problem for macs with notches: https://gith

If it works, then there's no reason to change. I stopped using Bartender (because of the recent news) and noticed that Hidden Bar was last updated in Jan 2022 and Dozer in 2019. Neither have a way (or plan to have something) to handle

Very weird. Someone else replied to my comment saying that Ice was working too, so it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem. Hope you manage to fix that.

Going back to my comment which made you reply, it's nice that you can stay excited after a year. I struggle with that.

How many times was this launch delayed due to problems? I get excited, but can't stay excited for months.

Hidden Bar is working on my M1 Max MBP 16" with macOS 14.5. Not an option for me because it can't handle the notch, but the basic functionality works. Ice ( https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice ) also works, al

All these open source alternatives lack something important for macs with notches: a way to see the expanded icons below the menu bar. Without this, icons are hidden by the notch. You'd expect macOS to properly support the notch after

Last time I tested it, icons would be hidden by the notch. Have they fixed that yet? Edit: Nope, no change and the last update was 2 years ago. Ice ( https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice ) doesn't currently handle t

I can imagine how bad it is. By the way, Google Maps supports offline maps. If the user can download the map (a few MB for a city), then at least the basic stuff will be fast.

3G devices should still work over 2G. It's much slower, but it works and should do so until well into 2030 in the UK. The problem with 3G as I understand it is that it uses more power and is less efficient than 4G/5G. They're

Those of us working on apps, websites, etc, need to remember that there are lots of people out there that are not connected to the fast Wi-Fi or fibre connections we have. Here in the UK, some networks started shutting down 3G. Some have 2G

There are apps for Android that allow you to record RAW video (eg: MotionCam Pro). You'll need an equivalent Android though. A high end Samsung, Sony, OnePlus, etc, supports this. A random $50-100 Android phone probably won't.

For RAW recording at least there's MotionCam Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motioncam....

No one wants to pay more, but if they do it in a way that makes their customer run to a direct competitor and not want to come back, then maybe there's something wrong with their approach. We only have one side of the story here, but i

What's the point of a strategy to criticise Google in that case? Are they criticising Google for no reason or to move some of the blame / direct people's anger at Google for keeping secrets online? In any case, you didn'

What you wrote is that "the CEO’s strategy was to turn up here and criticise Google for not deindexing quickly enough". The CEO replied to someone asking about the services they were working with and complained about Google taking

I remember them criticising Google for not being faster at removing cached files. I don't remember them blaming Google for their screw up. And let's be honest, if a big provider wants to offer cached versions of pages, they probab

They seem to want everyone to use the official app. That's supposed to be fine because of the reproducible builds. In any case, if we don't trust the official client/app/build, then I'm not sure if a F-Droid release

The way Cloudflare approaches situations like this is not ideal for anyone. You start using the service and don't pay a lot, so you make plans around a certain level of expenses. Then out of the blue you receive an "urgent" e

That's not user friendly or works on all OS (eg: firefox -P). There are also other issues with Firefox profiles. For example, on macOS, using different profiles mess up Firefox's icons on the dock and profiles always open behind t

Don't use it, I guess. You can disable almost everything on Firefox.
