Random things this month:

  • Started using Spotify (it’s cross platform)
  • Started using Firefox (cross platform)
  • Back to using 1Password (cross platform)
  • Back to VSCode (it’s cross platform)

I don’t recognise myself anymore but this feels so good.

5 days until my personal Apple Developer account expires. You know what? Good riddance. This feels good 💪

@ArnoldHoogerwerf @adamprocter I’ll have a look at this also as it was happening with mine too — I think it would be better to prompt for push notifications when you go to your Mentions tab instead of upfront at app start (when not set). Although the app should be triggering to send your device push token after login CC: @manton

Summer by Vivaldi would be pretty epic coding music. Imagine the state of flow you could achieve.

Finally played around with Turbo Frames and Turbo Stream today. Magic 🤯. Much to learn but super duper happy with what I achieved today.

I never got into Docker because it has always been terrible for me on the Mac. Seen a few mentions of OrbStack recently though. It’s running on my machine and I don’t feel it one bit.

@lucas nice. I’ve been playing with it tonight and it seems to work OK so far for my needs. I like that you can change how many levels deep you want to go.

@samjc maybe one day I’ll be. You’re correct though, lots of folks using Apple hardware here. Although at least a few Android users too. Not sure about Windows.

Last night I installed Ubuntu Desktop on a VM. Whilst the performance wasn’t great due to my host machine… I kinda like what I see. I have a small feeling my next computer, when the time comes, might not be a “Mac”. More things to figure out though. Gonna be a long road.

@darby3 thank you! Gonna have a look at UBlock because I already use it… although I missed the option to zap, but that’s likely my fault. Will check out Stylus if it doesn’t work out. Thank you again.

Can someone recommend an extension for Firefox that allows me to easily hide elements on a site by site basis?

@ronkjeffries @KimberlyHirsh The Android version will come soon. We’re sorting a few things to get this done. Hopefully a couple of weeks or so.

Happy to see that the 1Password extension for Safari no longer causes a 5 - 10 second delay in launch time. Progress.

@briandigital I reckon that come end of August that the app will refuse to launch. The developer account is due to expire at the beginning, and they give you a few days before they remove your apps if you don’t renew (I believe it’s 30 days). Afterwards I really have no idea. Presume the app will have an expired/revoked certificate when you try to launch it. I will do another longer post about timelines and events next week.

An introduction to Sublime Feed vincentritter.com

Vincent Ritter
@vincent

Worked on a rudimentary "last post" marker for Sublime Feed. If you've visited the feed page, it'll try and get the latest post that was at the top and set that in memory (using Kredis) — that is then used for subsequent requests so the marker stays at the same spot for 15 minutes.

Hmm, so my web app for Sublime Feed is nice. Need to figure out how to refresh the post list when you open it though — maybe through a service working perhaps. I can see myself doing an app for this though.
