lazygit looks to be an incredibly powerful tool.

Unfortunately it has close to zero discoverability. And when combined with git's unfriendliness, it is scary for me to use.

@cjk are you talking about regular git or lazy git here?

I am looking for an iPhone app that allows me:

  1. to define a list of tasks (repeating every day)
  2. time the duration of each of the tasks

For reasons that cannot be explained I am not sure how to search for such an app in the ocean of iPhone apps. Please help!

Is there a macOS app for ChatGPT? I am looking for recommendations (Google returns some results but no idea about the quality of those apps)

@al3x Can recommend @jordibruin's MacGPT (https://www.macgpt.com/) for pay-what-you-want, it's solid

Is there any remedy for the Menu Bar icons lost behind the Notch?

@al3x@hachyderm.io avatar

@cjk How does Bartender solve the behind the Nudge problem? If I’m not mistaken when expanding, some of the icons will still get lost behind the Nudge, aren’t they?

al3x,
@al3x@hachyderm.io avatar

@cjk I am not sure I see what the screenshot points to. On my machine, when expanding Bartender, if there’s enough icons in the bar they will get lost behind the notch. Bartender doesn’t re-arrange them beyond the Notch or present them in a different way.

Is there a specific configuration you are using? Thank you

Does anyone know of any macOS tool that can search browsing history across multiple browsers?

Each browser saves navigation history. And it can be searched in each of them. I'd like the ability to search across all browsers if possible.

Anyone using a book tracker they enjoy? No goodreads. Preferably one-time payment app. I am a bit scared of subscription based app because I believe I'm at risk of losing my data for not being able/forgetting to pay. 🙌

@al3x I like Literal. https://literal.club/ Truth be told, tho, by now I’m happy with a long-ass "Media Diet 2023” note to keep track of movies, albums, TV shows and reading. One note per year, obvs. ;)

Works for me because this is personal information for my own personal use, I’m not looking to auto-publish anything about it. If I like something enough to talk about it, I can always write a blog post. YMMV.

3 (three). Only 3 light themes for listed. I can bet there are hundreds of dark ones.

@al3x i use onehalf which has a light and dark version, i made vim switch from one to the other depending on the value i set to background (and also made a few custom color adjustments on both versions, as one does).

@gruber this might be of interest for you https://minimalissimo.com/articles/braun-designed-to-keep and I don’t recall seeing on your blog

gruber,
@gruber@mastodon.social avatar

@al3x Indeed. Very very tempting, but I’m sure it’ll make me a bit sad given the current state of Braun design. (I own, and like, a Braun beard trimmer, and while the engineering is still high quality, the design just doesn’t sing at all.)

Do you have or use any "Awesome *" Git repos for keeping track or finding great tools or utilities? Please do share your favorite ones.

What is the intended meaning when someone is using:

  • “I agree” vs “I don’t disagree”
  • “Good idea” vs “This is not a bad idea”

I don’t think they are intended to mean the same thing even if at the logic level they are the same.

Is there a way to have a set of plugins for , one for , and a common set?

whynothugo,
@whynothugo@fosstodon.org avatar

@al3x They both read plugins from different locations. I guess you can symlink the common set.

Telescope is like junegunn's fzf.vim for but in Lua?

whynothugo,
@whynothugo@fosstodon.org avatar

@al3x fzf.vim’s UI is much simpler and can be configured to use a split (this used to be the default). Telescope only supports rendering as an overlay. I find its UI a huge pain in comparison to fzf.vim.

I read @gruber article about the new MacBook Pros. I'm not sure I got what he'll get. The reason I'm wondering about this is that I feel I have similar "requirements" and I would've appreciated his thoughts based on experiencing one of the machines first hand.

@gruber I guess what I'm wondering given you are looking for more RAM: going with the Pro CPU and get the 36GB RAM or go to the Max CPU which comes default with 36GB RAM? Thank you

gruber,
@gruber@mastodon.social avatar

@al3x I bought an M1 Max with 64GB of RAM back in 2021. (Actually I ordered it in early 2022.) So I’d go with a Max config again, personally, but if my budget were tighter, I’m quite sure I’d be happy with an M3 Pro with 36GB.

What are the best websites for for Europeans?

I’m looking for a programmable 65-or-70-or-75 new keyboard.

Any suggestions will be very much welcome and appreciated
