It seems tacked on pretty quickly - I would have expected they try a little more legalese regarding what counts as a "user interface".

Love the idea of someone tackling this space in Rust, but please just make a normal UI, I have no idea what I am looking at.

I personally prefer the GitDot UI over the bloated corporate style UIs that all feel the same

Agree!

The article is paywalled, so I cannot tell if they mention the link to PFAS/PFOS: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004565352...

It’s sort of like a leftist publication for leftists that have never read anything and don’t base anything in any economics or theory or historical context and just do unresearched reactionary “capitalism bad” stuff.

I do not know any actual leftists that take it seriously it mostly just serves to embarrass everyone.

I would like to know how these are on XCode - would love to have the cheapest/most lightweight possible way to build iOS apps (derived from some cross-platform builder like Expo/Lynx/Dioxus) since I have no other use for MacOS.

Looking at tech specs, it seems like the one with 512GB drive might be serviceable. I have a very old 256GB Air and I struggle to keep enough drive space open to have XCode installed on it.

They're fine if you just need it mainly for the build/bundle step.

I've used an 8GB M1 mac for react-native iOS dev for over a year back when the M1 first came out.

If I had to look for the cheapest way to build iOS apps, but still on a laptop form factor (aka no mac minis), and I don't use macOS for day-to-day development, I'd do exactly this.

8GB RAM and no active cooling would be miserable.

Mac Mini is the best bang for buck at the moment. I have an M1 Air as well, but if I'm away from my desk and doing anything that would push the SOC hard, I remote into my Mini.

It'll throttle itself when it gets hot during compiles and slow down. You can mod it to cool it down so it will run (compile) faster.

you'll hit the RAM limit at some point, and you'd almost certainly want to mod it to alleviate the heat issues that kill sustained performance

I would say if it's only used as the build and publishing device and development happens elsewhere, this would work without problems. 8Gb for building the iOS app and testing on a real device or even an emulator would likely work. Apple's swap is also quite fast.

Agreed, I left Fastmail for Proton and am very happy with it. It improves/changes in fits and starts sometimes, but support is always great and overall I am happy with the usability, direction, pricing, etc.

I do wish ProtonMail handled labels/folders as one unified model like GMail does, it's so much simpler and more ergonomic. But I imagine hoping for a data model change like that is probably a pipe dream.

Kagi is still by far the best results for me, particularly for engineering content and worth every dollar.

DuckDuckGo results are even more frustrating than the currently-terrible version of Google for finding good information IMO.

I also love the ability to prioritize domains.

I push docs.rs up because otherwise I often get the crates.io page which I never want.

And I push GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg sites up so I get actual repos instead of product pages.

You can also duplicate RFIDs with like a $5 scanner from Amazon (which is probably overpriced).

This will probably get buried but here’s my shot at a feature or extension request:

The Daily Note.

It’s the only extension I use in Obsidian. I love opening my phone (or on desktop on any platform) and automatically getting a templated note with some of my daily ToDos as a checklist: stretching, exercises, language practice, etc. With a space for adding that day’s one-off ToDos ad priorities.

It’s the sole reason I use Obsidian over anything else - and happily pay for the sync service.
