I use the obsidian sync service. I have been completely satisfied with it.

A little known fact is that you can disable lockdown mode per site and per app (e.g. you can disable lockdown mode for obsidian to make it work properly since it is web based). So actually it isn’t disabling JIT, it is making JIT opt-in. Yo

I think I’d rather see it go the other way - humor, except the least offensive (think “dad joke”), should be excised from the workplace. I’ve been involved in close-knit friends/like-a-family organizations and sterile, professional org

I disagree, most of that is upgrades except the “are you sure” when ending workouts. On the other hand, it seems to be much better about automatically starting and stopping workouts, mainly for walks, which has drastically improved my day t

I do think Apple withdrawing from the EU would be preferable to degrading the experience, quality, and safety of the platform for the vast majority of people who are not in the EU.

3D touch solves some problems for touch interfaces, but sadly Apple killed it (everywhere except Magic Trackpad, for some reason).

I don’t think stylus is the answer on phone for text input. Maybe on a phablet. I haven’t experienced it being better and only use pencil on my iPad when in a meeting where typing or using a laptop would be obnoxious. The Apple Pencil doesn

Most of the products on the site appear to be candy/junk that shouldn’t be consumed in large quantities anyway. There is probably substantial social good being done by making the default portions of pringles and chocolate smaller.

You can disable lockdown mode in web views for specific apps. You do it in settings because those apps don’t have the usual Safari UI for configuring that.

You can turn off lockdown mode per site and per-app in safari. I had to do that to get Obsidian to work, but I also use it for specific trusted sites.

I tried it out, it is a very different app from Grindr and despite the very low floor I’m not sure I agree it is better. Totally disrespectful of the web platform and the UX is not great. But if you are looking for quick and/or anonymo

How many engineers does it take to lose chats, give bots unfettered access, not back up my messages, and spam me with low quality ads? It’s worth pointing out that the fees they charge for the premium subscription are absolutely outrageous.

SwiftUI apps get basic things about the experience wrong. Things like margins around window borders and interaction with system UI. SwiftUI apps stick out like a sore thumb, just as bad as Electron if not worse. The worst offenders on my ph

Drunk driving is way more common than you might think. If we’re ready to cut off ~10% (or more) of drivers for life, we should bite the bullet and mandate ignition interlocks. Driving is a privilege, not a right. But enforcement needs to he

In previous strikes, writers have taken on other gigs to make ends meet. It is a historically tight labor market. I wonder if studios are worried about that. This whole thing could just make Lyft and DoorDash in LA slightly cheaper rather t

Is “No pornography” a rule? It doesn’t specify any prohibited action and on its own isn’t a complete thought, let alone a rule. “I know it when I see it” was in reference to _hardcore pornography_, not obscenity. The Miller Test deals with
