Let’s not discount DeepSeek in this space…workhorse, in many respects.

A fraction of what its cost is for subsidizing other countries.

Correct. Smart move. Had Inhad the option to do the same for my car, I wouldn’t mind doing it (provided that I be compensated for it).

Your comments, yes. But the contextual thread as a while, no.

When the Mac version came out, I was all over it. WordPerfect user at the time, but wird processing was king back then. It would freeze and crash and irritate me. But I loved using it. If anything, it made things interesting for us Mac users as our options to PC software were quite virtually nonexistent.

As a Raycast user, I have to say the devs built something incredibly sleek and stable. It genuinely makes macOS feel like a pro-level OS.

For the developers: will Glaze replace Raycast, or are they meant to run concurrently?

YVoyiatzis — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 21:13:20 +0000

Well-written books, especially the wealth of contemporary works now available in translation, affects me, and presumably many others alike, more deeply than almost anything else. I eagerly await my few hours of nightly isolation to explore new writing from around the world. There's lots to explore, trust me.

New comment by YVoyiatzis in "Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux"

YVoyiatzis — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 19:04:48 +0000

That is exactly why I ditched Microsoft for Mac thirty years ago. I’ve never looked back or regretted leaving MSFT during my "formative" years; in fact, I’m glad I did. That said, it’s great to see Linux stay the course and build a real alternative for PC users.

I’ve always wanted to try running Linux on one of my Macs, but I never seem to find the time to actually explore it. One of these days...

That’s the exact same 'missing features' script people used to dismiss Apple during the height of the PC era.

I never brush my teeth, I irrigate them a couple of times a day and use floss as needed.

Switched early to a left-handed 65% keyboard setup—Keychron K7 Max QM7 on the left, Trackpad Pro and MX Master 3S on the right. Feels quick, natural, and fixes what Apple’s keyboards never did.

YVoyiatzis — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 21:31:01 +0000

I actually sold my Nakamichi cassette deck to afford the NOKIA Communicator back then. The OS was problematic and couldn’t deliver the functionality that I expected. I ended up switching to a Palm or Handspring device, can't remember which, and stuck with a Nokia monochrome phone until the iPhone came along and changed everything.

If smart glasses can’t self-adjust vision or flag cataracts, they’re missing the point. This is not being discussed.

I believe the Reminders app, when used alongside Notes and Calendar, is becoming a strong competitor in the productivity space. One feature I'd love to see added is persistent nudging reminders that keep alerting you until you manually dismiss them.

Things 3 is another excellent third-party option in this category. Together, these apps form my essential productivity stack. I honestly can't function without them.

The least one can do is adapt to using a bidet on a daily basis.
