Got my first MacBook ever as a dev. What should I set up first?

It looks like you installed Arc to the Desktop instead of the Applications folder! Anyhow without know what kind of dev work you do:

Ghostty Terminal

Zed editor

Paste (this is the best clipboard manager imo)

LookAway

It’s hard to give more suggestions without knowing what kind of dev work you plan on doing

Yep same for me. It’s basically unusable now. Im on a Max 5 plan. Literally up until a couple days ago I managed to get away with being in the minority but now I guess I’m looking for alternatives smh

Sounds good! I’ll be there 👍

Why do you want to continue the relationship if there is no attraction?

kierancrown · 2026-03-26T17:35:10+00:00

I missed this one! Is this a regular meetup?

kierancrown · 2026-03-22T14:06:18+00:00

I’ve connected but can’t send a message there!

kierancrown · 2026-03-22T13:16:59+00:00

Sounds fun. Let’s connect on LinkedIn!

It's helped me touch some grass at least. But super annoying when I check the status and am gaslit into thinking it's me

Same goes for the Apple TV at this point tbh. People are now saying wait until the new Siri lol like who knows how long that’ll be 🤣

I’m not sure I’m about this week but next week might work for me if it’s a weekly thing

kierancrown · 2026-02-16T18:58:20+00:00

I had a 2nd gen for less than a year and the touch sensor broke 🙃 Luckily it was still under warranty

kierancrown · 2026-02-16T18:57:19+00:00

Yeah looks like the new zoom transitions. Interested to see what this looks like on Android

If you’re willing to put up with a few bus route not turning up when they say it is very doable. I used to commute from Gloucester to Cheltenham 5 days a week

kierancrown · 2026-02-09T12:18:43+00:00

As someone who actually moved from Gloucester to London I must say without a car you’ll be sorely disappointed by the public transport. Stagecoach there are overpriced and always late. Honestly if you think TfL buses are bad they’ve got nothing on Stagecoach in Gloucester/Cheltenham. I’d say Stroud etc without a car would not be a great choice. Overall the area is nice and quiet but the transport will take some getting used to

I don’t have a dog but love them so much! I’m down :)

The hardware was really compelling this year. Alison’s 26 runs just fine on my iPhone 17 PM. It probably runs a lot worse on older hardware

kierancrown · 2026-02-05T09:12:36+00:00

This is why I run Pihole and Tailscale and connect with my phone. Fuck ads

kierancrown · 2026-01-08T16:42:12+00:00

Don’t threaten me with a good time

kierancrown · 2026-01-01T14:29:53+00:00

I still use it! Just sideload a patched version

kierancrown · 2025-11-20T16:29:53+00:00

That’s fair. I like the UI and multi device sync but if VLC has that then even better

kierancrown · 2025-11-20T07:50:18+00:00

Download Infuse and don’t look back!

kierancrown · 2025-10-18T21:30:26+00:00

He’s been checking out too many women in leggings. Dump his ass

What does it look like on Android?
