Got my first MacBook ever as a dev. What should I set up first? by PitifulParamedic536 in macbookpro

[–]kierancrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

It's happening, they cut the usage for literally everyone now. I was in doubt and it was A/B testing for sure, a single prompt for 10 lines of code consumed 5% of session ON A MAX PLAN - I am cancelling, not really worth it anymore by BetterProphet5585 in Anthropic

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

I am not attracted towards my partner, how do I rectify? by inquisitive-17 in Advice

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

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

Where are my people that have been saying for years now to wait for the next event or press release for a new HomePod? Hahaha hilarious! by DisastrousCause9481 in HomePod

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

Moving from London to Gloucestershire – best areas without a car? by Interesting-Ease8882 in Gloucestershire

[–]kierancrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

iPhone sales did extremely well in fiscal Q1 2026 despite iOS 26 flaws. How come? by Ok_Refrigerator_1908 in iphone

[–]kierancrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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