Staff software Engineer on TinyMCE by day, twitch mod by night.
I don’t live on social media anymore so I might not respond quickly (even if I only just posted something).

@atpfm I hear Marco’s argument in the Overtime discussion and agree with some of the things he’s saying. But as a counter point, AI is biased and exacerbates the industry compression towards currently popular frameworks.
Safari is still a garbage tier browser - simple back and forward navigation doesn't work on websites I use daily - and this extends to webkit-based Orion.
But at least they don't drain my (Apple Silicon) laptop battery by 2% or more overnight the way every chromium-based browser does. Including Helium which I had high hopes for after discovering it yesterday.
The search for a properly good browser seems like it will never end. I think Zen will be my shelter, until it loses all my tabs again.
@davidrevoy I’ve had bad ram enough times to know the signs as soon as you started to describe the problems.
There’s no real solution to avoid them going bad - if a stick has been running well for years it’s usually a manufacturing fault if it dies. But now that you know what to look for, if it happens again you can recover more quickly 🙃
@daringfireball I don’t believe Craig Federighi is against shipping features that disorient users. Particularly related to icon positions; he shipped the App Library.
Not only do I have to remember what category apps declared themselves to be, I need to re-learn some of them after installing new apps when the system rebalances the categories - but not immediately, overnight some random number of days later.
Last week the photos app was shifted to “other” but now it’s back in “creativity”.
The enshittification of browsers continues.
Opera just lost all my tabs after an update; no sign of them in recently closed. Lucky it wasn’t my main browser. Now it’s in the trash for good.
Back to Orion, I guess. Maybe they’ve fixed the performance bug that drained my battery overnight.
@geniodiabolico I’ve been getting into homelab stuff this year, backups are something I’m keeping a close eye on. Both for hardware failures and to revert my own silly mistakes.
I stopped resisting and switched to proxmox a few months ago, it’s made maintenance much easier in many ways and it has a very good backup server as well
@parisba I’m really sorry this happened to you. And it could happen to any of us.
This won’t help now, but your story makes me glad I’m in the process of switching to self hosting with https://immich.app/ and similar. Investing in physical media for movies.
It’s harder, I have to stress about uptime, data replication and backups myself, but once it’s done I will never be beholden to Apple’s shenanigans.
