It’s all good. I only know because I’ve been a paying customer since pretty much the beginning.

I get the sentiment, but Flickr hasn’t been owned by Yahoo for a while. They were purchased by the folks that run SmugMug.
I work at a top 10 US financial institution. All devs/engineers and ux folks get issued macbooks as standard. Probably been two years now that this has been the case. Being able to use all the unix command line stuff, along with more reliable machines, longer expected life, and higher productivity (those M series processors rock) make it a no-brainer. HP zbooks only go out to the people that specifically request them or are reliant on the few apps that do not have either a web based option or macos equivalent (its going to be the web based option that solves this over time I expect. Prob not a lot of incoming ports).
their perception of california is so unrealistic it may as well just be an alternate reality
As someone who works in Minneapolis. I totally feel this. We get this too. Apparently we're supposed to be a burnt out crater of a city where everyone is murdered.
non-technical people looking to use an alternative operating system
Umm, you don't see the oxymoron there?
Sponsorblock for YouTube was a game changer for me. Highly recommend it to everyone.
Hadn't heard of Hugo. I'm going to grab it now. Sounds fun. For retro sites/vintage stuff I like firing up NetObjects Fusion on my old 90's PowerMac and uploading to neocities.
Used to love 1Password through version 7. When it was a standalone, Apple-first, single purchase program.
Now it’s an electron cross platform app, features come to the macOS version last, and it’s a subscription.
I’m just using keychain now. Screw those guys.
I haven’t used Nova but I’m going to check that out. I’ve been using RapidWeaver for small static site design.
I have a quibble with Fantastical. Ever since they went to a subscription model from one time purchase I’ve left them behind. I’m not renting software.
Obsidian is far and away my favorite of those you mentioned for personal use. Although notes is better for shared notes with others. Obsidian isn’t something your mom is just going to dive into.
Which file format was it where you’d get the whole box and it would sharpen as the download continued? Would start off super blurry but at least you weren’t waiting for the line by line paint-in.
For sure, turn off wifi on the tv and also block it's MAC address at the router. Plug in your trusted streaming box of choice via HDMI and only use that (Nvidia Shield, AppleTV, Roku, AndroidTV, Homebuilt Plex box, etc).
As someone that spends a lot of time on a vintage machine using sites like 68k.news and frogfind.com , I think it would be really sweet if there was a non JavaScript front end that could render correctly in something like Netscape 4. I know I’m a weirdo, but there’s a lot of weirdos like me on SDF :-)
