It's based on product category, so you can see an A milk next to a (in absolute terms better) C oatmilk, etc...

There are countless ways one can be forced to use an app. My employer could require it. My bank could switch to their own system from Apple Pay. The public transport in my region could roll their own tracking ticket system instead of using Apple Pay. An app leaving the App Store could just have no viable alternative. Etc.

I won't have when my bank decides their crappy app is better than Apple Pay, when an app I rely on decides to leave the app store, etc. Sure, I can find another bank/app, but I use the ones I use because they have the best conditions/features/etc for me, which others may not have. Or I can't even switch, because the app in question is required for work/public transit etc.

We did not see this as being in an app store actually has value: these 30% cover server/traffic for downloading, billing, discoverability, ease of use in getting the app, little marketing (getting featured). For lots of developers, this seems to be worth whatever the market in question asks for.

Not judging on the mails itself, but actually rejecting is the right way. Spam folders tend to get ignored, if one doesn't know he misses an email, he won't look there. When a mail gets rejected, the sender is noticed, so he can take measures to ensure the recipient gets the info.

I'm happy customer of posteo.de for years now. They don't want to have data they don't absolutely need (e.g., you can pay cash envelope), they're very transparent on what they do with the data they need to have, gov requests etc., they have optional full encryption built in… and it's only €1/month :)

15k points without movement (not disabled, just not used, don’t know if that matters for points) on first try, best 53m off. I guess I actually know GTA V better than the real world :D

> The most recent example that comes to mind is switching to Android because of Apple's file scanning controversy.

Nice job switching to Google over something Google has been doing for years, in a worse way (https://support.google.com/transparencyreport/answer/1033093...)

My biggest gripe with YAML is significant whitespace and the inability to use tabs for indenting, so still a No for me.

Neovim?

One can already easily get a list of fonts installed on the system…

Why move my hands to the far-away arrow keys when I can just use hjkl (and all the other movement commands) right under my fingertips?

Basically all you need is nvim-lspconfig, which just attaches the language servers to your buffers (so you wouldn't even need that, but it saves a lot of boilerplate). From there you can use all you already know (this is from my Lua-based config, but you can do the same in Viml):

    vim.keymap.set("n", "K", vim.lsp.buf.hover, { buffer = buf })
    vim.keymap.set("n", "<leader>qf", vim.diagnostic.setqflist, { buffer = buf, desc = "Quickfix diagnostics" }) -- open Quickfix with LSP issues, Loclist possible too
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, "omnifunc", "v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc") -- use LSP completion for omnifunc
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, "tagfunc", "v:lua.vim.lsp.tagfunc") -- Ctrl+] for go to definition using LSP instead of ctags
    vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(buf, "formatexpr", "v:lua.vim.lsp.formatexpr()") -- Code formatting (gq etc) using LSP

Everything else one always sees with Neovim and LSP are other plugins like nvim-cmp or Telescope.

For all the Germans here: ZDF Magazin Royale just yesterday did the show on Peter Thiel: https://www.zdf.de/comedy/zdf-magazin-royale/zdf-magazin-roy...

That's the reason I still prefer Bear's approach of using nested tags as the main organizational tool. If I study a maths topic today, I can tag it like for example #2022/02/12, #studies/M<module number>, #maths/<topic> and find it in the future easily, no matter what path to it I think of first.

According to what I read (not first hand, of course), he said that 10bn because of Apple's decision. That's a different thing than just saying 10bn, and to pressure Apple to let loose on privacy seems motivation enough to me.

This is double bullshit:

1. All Apple did was giving users a choice (and they should've done that ages ago). If users didn't mind being tracked, or liked the "more relevant adverts" tracking provides, they would not have opted out.

2. Google is subject to exactly the same rules as Facebook is. Their apps have to ask for permission to track as Facebook's do, and Safari (which enforces privacy in many ways, too) is the same for google.com as for facebook.com.

They pay Apple for being search provider in Safari and Siri the same way they pay Mozilla, because searches mean data and displayed adverts.

Nice how Zuck said $10bn in the analysts call with nothing to back it up, but the whole press jumps on it. Apple is not Facebook's problem, all they did was giving users a choice, which should have happened ages ago. So Facebook just says Apple kills our business without ever thinking that maybe users don't like the way they do business. If they did, they wouldn't opt out…

Good thing is, if one searches for it, one can find really good, stable, fast software from developers who care about bug reports for most tasks. It’s not always easy, it’s most time more expensive, and you’ll probably not get all those shiny features that look good on landing pages. But it exists.

I like!

Wish we could all start understanding the difference between kilo and kibi, mega and mebu and so on for bits and bytes.

So you’re telling me I can’t even trust SI unit abbreviations when coming from beyond the pond? That a kW in America isn’t 1000 W as it should be?

F*ck :D

I really like the Caddyfile and template syntax. Is where a way to use this just to generate static HTML, without the server part? I kind of want to stick with OpenBSDs plain old httpd as it comes ootb and fullfills basically all the needs I have quite fine.

Currently, I do all my HTML manually. I looked into static site generators recently but didn't really like anything I've seen, from Jekyll/Hugo to smaller projects like blogc…

JavaScript is not the problem. That people forgot how to use the simplest tool to get the job done, and to not use more than needed, that's the problem.

And that’s the reason everyone should use tabs. You like 2, I like 4, someone else one the team likes 3, 6, 8, whatever? No problem if tabs are used, everyone can set tabstop to their liking!

And even if we had 100% renewables tomorrow, cars would still be incredibly inefficient (2 ton car for most times only 80 kg load (aka one human)), loud, dangerous for everyone not in a car, expensive for owner and state, etc…

> I live in the city

Then you probably don't need a car, unless you have special needs or your city is some car-centric shithole (like, sadly, most cities outside the Netherlands are to a point, even in Europe, which often gets praise from US bike/public transport advocates).

Oh, they absolutely do, like 90% of the funding for Mozilla comes from Google.

If you live in the Apple ecosystem, Agenda(1) could be just the right tool for you. I also very much like their pricing schema(2), more apps should do it like this!

checklists != todo lists, might be the reason
