Yeah change tracking didn’t work at all for me. The only way it works is if I dont define outputs. Haven’t looked into it, but jdx is very receptive to PRs so you might want to open one. I assume it can’t be that hard to fix.

It basically does replace make/just, nix, direnv in one convenient binary. It’s very pleasant to use.

Sounds like cursor is not using vscode anymore in this release?

Sennheiser HDB630 is about the same price range and superior in basically every way.

I guess the holes are so microscopic, even one cubic centimeter would last for the lifetime of the device.

When you have workflows that you repeat over and over it’s easier to formalize with something like jido. Ie if you don’t want to type into a checkbox and verify output everytime.

Man I heard about this being addressed soon for years. I have given up on Helix by now, but it’s wild that this still hasn’t been released.

Raycast are not building Mac apps the apple way though. They are using react native and I am willing to bet that this does too.

This is mindnumbingly stupid. We truly live in the worst timeline.

I love passkeys in my selfhosted vaultwarden, but I agree the UX for older people is not quite there.

I disable them on every app that lets me. It is in every way worse UX than simply opening the browser.

Eh you probably shouldn’t link to a signup page with no info about features. Can you tell more about this? Is it open source? What tech stack?

Yeah it’s so odd that none of the open-source alternatives have this feature. No video calls are not an option. We need video/voice rooms!

Try Ballistol, it’s so good!

mgrandl — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 06:02:17 +0000

The best all-rounder is Ballistol. Smells way less than 3-in-1 and performs great!

Jep, sorry not an native english speaker.

It’s been wrong every time, except for the times it wasn’t. Nobody remembers those though. Something something confirmation bias.

Does everything always need precedence?

Well they would still be running the google models in Apple DCs. I doubt this is a very cost efficient deal for them.

If you can switch to an iPhone, you can switch to a phone capable of installing grapheneOS though…

Wouldn’t something like an Apple Watch be much more reliable for alerting emergency services in case of seizure, given that fall detection is an actually advertised feature of it?
