I regret to inform you that I have ordered 2 2012 Mac minis with 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM and quad-core i7 b/c I’m a hoarder and these are cheaper than getting an #RPi4. $61 a pop. I’m so weak! https://mastodon.social/@orchardresales/111172133890410367
Hey who made a cross-posting Apple Shortcut was it @c35f18b4? I need a way to automate my copy/paste behavior if I’m going to return to being a Poster on all the places. I try to optimize for each place but I have to automate at least part of this
@f039f24a yah same. I love my 2020 Intel iMac tho. That i9 and 128GB of RAM still performs. But yeah I’m updating it to Sonoma too. I can always downgrade.
@be3304e1@59f08b34@e311955b truly! I had very little proper text editor experience until I used it (we're really milking this dating analogy lol but yes), but damn. It just made my 19 year old heart sing. Genuinely the app I’ve loved the most deeply.
@59f08b34@e311955b@be3304e1 it was a truly perfect device to use, since we do treat our editors as our significant others. I hadn’t remembered this at all and I was calling TextMate my first love earlier! The analogy works!
@de2bdf62 I mean it’s the universal way to start a fight at a bar or a developer conference. I like to do it right before I leave b/c I’m an asshole :)
@53be970f like it’s fucking weird to feel real things about an app you paid $17 for or some shit as a college student using your university email to get it as cheap as possible and then used more than any app to exist except for maybe fucking Notepad.exe when you were 11 years old. But like, that’s where I am. I have legitimate attachment to an app I didn’t pay enough for nearly 20 years ago.
I will miss TextMate forever. I will never love any text editor as much as I loved TextMate. It’s that one true love sort of thing, you know? You can’t always keep it but you’ll always pine for it because when it was good, it was perfect. TextMate is the app I have loved most and the app I will miss forever. https://ruby.social/@collin/111032089994534693
This is true but it is equally true that this speaks to the power of ecosystems. And while I can fault Google for a lot, it isn’t their fault that our beloved Firefox dropped the ball on ecosystem for years or that Safari/WebKit never came to the table at all.

@3ddab33a I agree with the state of where we are with Chrome/Chromium. But I guess I’m just not willing to ignore the valid reasons of how we got here, because I watched it happen and I watched the alternatives continue to refuse to even try to compete, the same way it took years for anyone to actually try against IE beyond bitching and anti-trust lawsuits. And when they did compete (pour one out for Camino, which led to the project leads for both Safari and Chrome), IE fucking fell.
