  We didn’t stop trying to make faster, safer and more fuel efficient cars after Model T, even though it can get us from place A to place B just fine. We didn’t stop pushing for digital access to published content, even though we have physical libraries. Just because something satisfies a use case doesn’t mean we should stop advancing technology.

  I’ve never been a Twitterific user, even back when everyone was on it. The UI never really made sense to me because it always felt lacking. But maybe that minimalistic approach is their entire schtick, and their former users that enjoyed their style would buy it right up.

  On a similar thought, I think if Tapbots made a similar aggregator, I’d buy it in a heart beat.

  Apple TV’s hardware is just so much more capable than other platforms that they’ve just been coasting along the last several generations of ”Apple TV 4K”. Our over 7 years old Gen 1 is still super capable and the only reason we picked up Gen 3 is so we can get the Thread radio in a centralized location. As an Apple user, I’m extremely glad there’s going to be a new competitor in the space, which will hopefully push Apple further along the innovation path.

  Ask it for a second opinion on medical conditions.

  Sounds insane but they are leaps and bounds better than blindly Googling and self prescribe every condition there is under the sun when the symptoms only vaguely match.

  Once the LLM helps you narrow in on a couple of possible conditions based on the symptoms, then you can dig deeper into those specific ones, learn more about them, and have a slightly more informed conversation with your medical practitioner.

  They’re not a replacement for your actual doctor, but they can help you learn and have better discussions with your actual doctor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud behind Cloudflare zero trust⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can serve content locally without tunnel (ie no CGNAT or port block by ISP), you can configure your server to respond only to cloudflare IP range and your intranet IP range; slap on the Cloudflare origin cert for your domain, and trust it for local traffic; enable orange cloud; and tada. Access from anywhere without VPN; externally encrypted between user <> cloudflare and cloudflare <> your service; internally encrypted between user <> service; and only internally, or someone via cloudflare can access it. You can still put the zero trust SSO on your subdomain so Cloudflare authenticates all users before proxying the actual request.

  It was never to your definition of free, so you were never going to be using it in the first place. Don’t need to say goodbye when you were never here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WebStorm and Rider Are Now Free for Non-Commercial Use⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re going to use it, you’d be paying for it one way or another; either through money or privacy. Par for the course.

  Plenty of tools to Sideloadly on iOS; sideloadly.io pops to mind as one example of such.

  What kind of sad existence feels compelled to double down on spewing misinformation when being called out? Here, have a pity upvote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple quietly deletes nearly a hundred VPNs that allowed Russians to get around censorship⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  iOS supports VPN out of the gate. Apps just make it easier to configure. Please don’t spew divisive misinformation, regardless if this is ignorant to the facts or otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is Apple; they value different things than most people… sometimes warranted, results in offering a much better experience, and pushes everything forward (see MagSafe -> Qi2 for recent example), other times they’re just regarded as late adopters. The detraction of visual aesthetics from folding crease is apparently one of such things that they care about.
