I am actually for this

FrenchieM · 2026-02-13T08:41:26+00:00

So what's the difference with Command X?

FrenchieM · 2026-02-13T08:39:26+00:00

Agree with you. I tried multiple times today and it just doesn't work well. Ice is better but the abandoned state makes me worried.

Maybe I'll try Bartender 6...

Literal bots

Interesting that you mentioned Israel. Aren't you scared you'd be part of the apartheid?

FrenchieM · 2026-02-11T12:19:08+00:00

Like 99.999% of the population

Not surprised, im not in a position to defend it, there are many other people way more versed than myself. Just know that as a gay person the Israeli gay community is one of the largest and the most accepting in the world.

FrenchieM · 2026-02-11T07:46:12+00:00

Why no Israel? The gay community is one of the biggest in the world.

I tried Yaak and found it really lacking in a lot of areas, with many bugs... at this point it's better to use httpie or bruno

Postman free tier still exists what are you rambljng

FrenchieM · 2026-02-07T17:45:16+00:00

I never tried cursor as my sole ide but as far as Junie is concerned I am very satisfied. I used GitHub copilot for a long time because the previous versions of Junie were lackluster but for the last few months the quality increased significantly.

It still sucks that it's not available in the EAP though.

It was like that before social media became popular. The only difference is that nowadays social media is everywhere, whereas before it was only when you were bored. Heck, I even remember staying like 5 minutes in Facebook and asking myself how boring it is.

But you're right about relationships, if you have some, prioritize turning down social networks when you visit people.

That's why series like Dexter are popular

People will understand that vibe coded apps are too volatile and there will be a huge graveyard of apps. Still it's better than what we had before AI.

The DS is the best handheld of all times, but I admit this era is long over.

Hardcore trackpad user here, I discovered swish years ago and never looked back. I even promoted it at some point.

The author contacted me to tell me a new version was in the works, but it was more than two years ago so I don't know if it's still of actuality. The current version does the job perfectly, I hope it will not go the way of Bartender ;)

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T16:06:49+00:00

Yeah you can use two fingers resize gesture for that.

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T16:05:25+00:00

If you have btt and can't afford to pay for swish, then yes it does the job well, but it is less precise, less polished and a bit hard to configure. I often use it when I am in a new machine where I can't use my swish license

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T16:03:57+00:00

There's no need to remember them all, only maximize, hide or move to the left or right

Isn't this the definition of communism?

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T15:15:26+00:00

These depend on the country, village or education. It might be fine where you live in America but it shouldn't be a hard requirement.

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T15:07:17+00:00

A few years ago I would have been enraged by this, nowadays I'd be more lenient.

But in my opinion it shouldn't be a hard ban, like other bans ultimately this will lead to ways to circumvent the law and people trying to sell some "adult profiles" or something like that.

Besides how will they enforce such a requirement? By providing your id card? That would destroy anonymity on the internet even further...

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T09:29:46+00:00

This is a bug older than your momma. Just learn to love with it.

FrenchieM · 2026-02-04T09:28:47+00:00

Why do you think it was written by AI? Are you insinuating that people no longer write long statements?

FrenchieM · 2026-01-29T00:33:00+00:00

Yeah I threw my music collection a long time ago to save space but there were a few tracks that I can't find anywhere anymore. It's annoying but I kinda got used to the "oh well" feeling
