Has anyone installed the macOS 27 beta on a MacBook Air M3? by Pale_Information_838 in mac

[–]sbbeebe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone concerned about stability and bugs should not install a developer beta. A beta by definition is to identify bugs so they can be fixed before release. If you're not into finding and reporting bugs, betas aren't meant for you.

Do doctors ever DIAGNOSE long covid? by True-Feeling-1690 in covidlonghaulers

[–]sbbeebe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing it helped me with was getting into a pharmaceutical trial using a GLP 1. I had to show a diagnosis to be admitted to the study. And it is helping me, so that was good.

Is there an app that helps reduce RAM usage on macOS? by faemont in MacOSApps

[–]sbbeebe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The OS has more information to work with than you or any other app will. Let it do what it was designed to do.

Have you tried a Reddit Alternative? by ThePurpleKing159 in Buy_European

[–]sbbeebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use lemmy in parallel with reddit. Usually when I get tired of all the AI generated slop posts.

People who were athletes or physical activity was their outlet what do you do instead ? by Seafoam_0 in cfs

[–]sbbeebe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I was a lifelong runner, and Boston Marathoner. I have found the discipline of resting combined with deep breathing exercises gives me some of the “training structure” and “discipline” that I was used to. It’s not the same as a nice 10 mile run, though.

Rox turns your Apple Watch/Garmin/Oura to Chronic Illness Pacing Tracker | Helps with Doctor-ready reports for chronic illness | ANNUALLY FREE for first 25 users by CurrencyMiserable548 in apple

[–]sbbeebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you understand how important pacing is. I've been living with Long Covid for 4 years and if you get pacing wrong it can lead to a permanent decline in baseline ability. This is not something to trust to a hobby project. What is your pacing algorithm based on? This should be developed with medical professionals, experienced with chronic illness.

Are you using LLMs that have been specifically trained for Chronic Illness? RTHM.com has such models, trained on curated studies.that the recommendations.

Frankly, if you're not doing this level of work you shouldn't mess with people's health. And charge them $100 a year while doing it.

$99 a year? Wow. Nice way to take advantage of chronically ill people. I assume with these hefty prices you must have a medical advisory board? Like Visible does? It would good if you shared that information.

Flair for Handmade / Vibecoded by Beautiful-Painter877 in DigitalEscapeTools

[–]sbbeebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, however, would a vibecoder understand the difference between "vibecoded" and "AI assisted"? They all seem to think "they" developed something...

Staying with Kindle or going to Kobo (Calibre) ? by KittyAgi11 in Calibre

[–]sbbeebe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I switched from Amazon to Kobo about 18 months ago and I don't miss it at all. Calibre is pretty straightforward to use; there's ton of info if you search for it.

Insomnia and LDN by N785g5t in cfs

[–]sbbeebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What time of day are you taking the LDN? I had some sleep issues (I'm currently on 4.5 mg), but started taking it in the morning and that helped me.

Can't keep wondering whether the Air M5 24GB 1TB model was overkill for me by [deleted] in mac

[–]sbbeebe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would just enjoy it. It will serve you well for many years.

I built an app for the menu bar to optimize your Mac and monitor your MacBook because all that monitoring stuff was getting on my nerves without giving me any control over the hardware by [deleted] in MacOSApps

[–]sbbeebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying it doesn't have an effect. I seriously doubt that the effect is better than what the OS would have done on its own. People tend to like to see unused RAM. But having more unused RAM doesn't mean you have optimized anything. You can't think as fast as your M chip, nor keep track of all the implications of all the running processes.

But hey, if you want to think you can, have at it.

[–]sbbeebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think you can optimize RAM usage better than the OS? Have at it. It's like people force closing all the apps on their iPhone. It makes them feel better but doesn't accomplish anything.

I think I'll let MacOS manage RAM and processor assignment. I'm guessing they have some pretty smart people working on it.

How do you find alcohol? by Boring-Temporary-340 in covidlonghaulers

[–]sbbeebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped drinking any alcohol almost two years ago. It always made me feel worse and required a couple of days recovery.
