Probably the most environmentally friendly thing to come out of that era?
Wait that’s not fair because a lot of that stuff could’ve been Buy It For Life

Shottr was well worth their Black Friday price ($12?). But the free version is entirely sufficient and worked well for me for over a year.
Snagit has 10 times as many features for several times the price, but somehow Shottr is like the most efficient app ever. So, so fast! But Snagit is more like Shottr plus a miniature Photoshop so can excuse some of that.
Oh hey, forgot Snippety the text expander 🔥 even has an iOS keyboard.
Great dev too, super responsive solo dude.

Yesss, thank you, using the free Ice - Bartender quietly sold, causing some controversy.
I installed Ice after troubleshooting for an hour until I realized macOS was hiding some of my menu bar apps. wtf? Quoting this piece:
I have gripes about the notch. There isn’t enough room to display all of my menu bar apps and icons, so… they just get hidden!? Apparently, everyone in Cupertino thinks the best solution to this problem is to hide them with zero indication that there are more that simply can’t be displayed because of the notch. I wasted so much time trying to figure out why Little Snitch and 1Password were not running on my new machine. Was there a compatibility issue with Apple Silicon that I didn’t know about? That couldn’t be. In turns out, they were running the whole time but they were hidden by the notch.

This “design” (or lack thereof) is so dumb. It is utterly ridiculous to me that this is still how it “works” two years after the introduction of the redesigned MacBook Pro with a notch. How hard could it be to add an overflow menu with a “«” (or should it be “»”?) button that shows the remaining apps and icons that can’t be displayed? This entire situation with the notch is ironic, because the iPhone notch and “dynamic island” are so thoughtfully designed with zero compromises regarding the functionality of iOS. In fact, they actually provide a better user experience. Yet on the Mac, how the notch interacts with macOS is laughably incompetent. It is shockingly lazy regarding attention to detail, and results in an outright disruptive and confusing user experience.

What software have you paid for? Over here, proud owner of (off the top of my head) Keyboard Maestro, BetterTouchTool, Shottr, and superwhisper for Mac.
Would be hard to live without these automation/macro, screenshot, and dictation tools!

Sure doesn’t yeah, guess I was just reliving a good feature memory 😉
- Comment on Is the Fediverse Too Complex? Can It Embrace Simplicity Without Losing Its Identity? 2 weeks ago:
Yar. Simplify or die (I hope not)
Choosing an instance has gotta be culled. Can be reintroduced for users who get comfortable with the platform though perhaps. Or use external sources to determine a user’s default instance (like communities can try to earn Default credits for instance, then users will be defaulted to those instances).
Wonder if anybody tracking how much the funnel shrinks at the “choose an instance” step.

I actually wish services like Spotify or Apple Music did a better job of displaying this data throughout the year rather than just in end of year infographics.
Preach
Spotify > Search > Made For You > “On Repeat” / “Repeat Rewind” = not sufficient
Chad Google Play Music > sort by plays = perfect

Exactly, that’s their tracking parameter. I like to remove them because, for whatever reason, I find it odd for Google to know that you are the one sharing a video with me.
I like sharing that info with you! 😉

Both a house and a golf ball are unbelievably tiny compared to the size of the Earth. The idea that you can shrink the Earth many thousands of times over and be able to feel a house parallels with our ability to feel micro imperfections on knife blades.

I’d be curious to hear of a time when it paid off and one when it didn’t it. And about the kind of stuff you do.
I’m rather preparing to reinvent the wheel a little bit, as a technical person albeit one who does not code.
