For the past few years, I've been using a custom #xojo app to publish my website (utilware.com) from markdown files. Started playing with Obsidian Publish recently, and with a few CSS tweaks, I'm seriously considering switching.

Best mental health boost this week: Unchecking "show inline predictive text" in Settings under Sonoma. Nothing wrecks my train of thought more than the computer trying to guess what I'm going to say next. It's like when you're talking with someone who is always finishing your sentences, but incorrectly.
People are still selling backpacks with a headphone cable hole?
@dcseifert@mastodon.social I mean, dude, it's doooooope. And it makes you splay your fingers across the touchscreen because the track pad is bad.
@dcseifert@mastodon.social true to form, I'm currently looking up the lapdock, alongside writing this, on my Fold.
Dopesplay 14.1. While overall it's a serviceable product, here are things that led to the return:
- very finicky about which chargers would actually charge it
- touchpad was twitchy, like an older Windows laptop
- can't click and drag; have to tap and drag which is ... a drag
- iirc couldn't plug in two USB-C devices at once, so I couldn't pull photos from my DSLR directly to an external drive
@dcseifert@mastodon.social I didn't realize that you're a fellow Fold user. You might enjoy my fairly detailed writeup on what led me to get a Fold and my experiences with it - https://utilware.com/galaxy-fold.html

@Severine@mastodon-belgium.be SD cards for photographers?

@viticci @jvoorhees I would suggest also looking into Curio by Zengobi. Mac-only but really comprehensive functionality.

@jvoorhees @viticci as far as not having a mobile app is concerned, I figured out I would not use it on mobile anyway, so I just have it save a PDF every time I exit and that sinks through to my phone so I at least have read only access to my information.

Why does Google Drive take so incredibly long to zip before downloading? I have a folder of 645 .rtf files, and it takes 10~15 seconds for Google to zip them. MacOS takes <1 sec for both zipping and unzipping.
@dcseifert@mastodon.social Great reads! Speaking of Dex, I used just my Fold 4 and a lapdock for a 3+ week photography tour of Central Asia and it (plus the DSLR) was all I needed. No laptop. (Unfortunately ended up returning the lapdock because of various issues)

Why is it that every ChatGPT response ends with a milquetoast platitude that makes me feel like it's a condescending librarian* telling me to be good?
* Few librarians are condescending. But the ones that are, are.
@WarehouseWorker@botsin.space push it again!
Holy moly. Took the Fold4 in for a warranty repair on the hinge, and got back effectively a new phone. New hinge, inner screen and protector, frame, and batteries. Very happy at the moment.
I love SyncThing for keeping files in sync between my Android phone and macOS desktop. Now I'm wondering if anyone has ported it to classic Mac (MacOS 7.x, for instance).
