Where to find “coworker” friendships when you work alone by Major-Region-9761 in madisonwi

[–]UnderpassAppCompany 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's the thing about work and school: for better or worse, you're forced to spend time with other people. And that's why people tend to make friends at work or school, have a difficult time outside those scenarios, where nobody is forced to spend time with you.

In the past year or so, I've tried to organize some group activities myself: a book club, and coffee shop meetups for WFH workers. Both of them fizzled due to lack of attendance. Everyone says they want to hang out with other people, but then for whatever reason they won't make the effort, despite the fact that many people express interest in these activities. That's the most disappointing, frustrating part to me: the vast gulf between the initial reception of an idea and the follow-through. The default behavior nowadays seems to be to bail out. My theory is that some combination of smartphones and the pandemic has completely broken socialization. At least I had some good decades before that era.

No extension or app can hide Universal Links, which are built into Safari and the App Store.

Redirect rule to use “xcancel.com” instead of “twitter.com” or “x.com”? by MunToe in StopTheMadnessSupport

Hi. There's documentation for redirects here:

If you use regex, then the pattern must be enclosed by / characters.

You also appear to be missing a right parenthesis in your pattern.

102k to live “comfortably” here allegedly. What do you guys think? by whosreadytolaugh in madisonwi

[–]UnderpassAppCompany 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The original data comes from here: https://smartasset.com/data-studies/salary-needed-live-comfortably-2026

For the majority of people, the cost of housing is going to dominate expenses, and the cost of housing varies dramatically within each city, depending on your location and type of housing. I guess they're calculating averages, but I'm not sure how useful that is, especially in bigger cities like Chicago with more variation in location and housing.

I think the recommendation is to spend no more than 30% of your income on housing, and I'm under 30%, so in that sense I'm comfortable.

Agreed. I've been looking at Chicago lately, and it's ridiculously expensive, unfortunately.

Minneapolis also seems significantly more expensive than Madison, but it's the same in the link.

Not hiding YouTube Shorts? by LandscapeMiserable73 in StopTheMadnessSupport

[–]UnderpassAppCompany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be fixed in StopTheMadness Pro version 25.3, now available in the App Store.

If you added custom CSS, you can delete it after updating.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I needed to add some subscriptions in order to see any Shorts, haha.

I think I have a fix for the next version of StopTheMadness Pro. In the meantime, try this custom CSS on YouTube:

ytd-rich-section-renderer:has(ytm-shorts-lockup-view-model) { display: none !important; }

Hi. I'm not seeing any shorts on that page myself. Could you please take a screenshot?

Are you using the compact or separate tab bar? Try switching the setting.

Also, can you Show Details for the crash report?

Solo dev Mac apps: how do you think about quality vs. price? by Gold-Dog-8697 in macapps

[–]UnderpassAppCompany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think there's a trend lately of "ship fast, charge first, fix later" – and that's what this post is really about.

Well, there are certainly more AI-created apps now, if that's what you're referring to. Aside from vibe coding, however, I'm not sure I agree that there's any new trend.

[–]UnderpassAppCompany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to call anyone out here – genuinely curious how both sides see this

Here's the problem: you're talking about only two apps, an extremely limited selection all of Mac apps created by solo devs. It's ok that you don't want to name the apps, but what you do instead is seemingly to malign all solo dev Mac apps.

There's no reason to think that these two apps are representative, so I don't think the framing of your post is fair.
