  • @agile Oops, sorry — I didn’t see this question!

    I’ve used Karabiner-Elements to set up the Meh ( ⌃ ⌥ ⇧ ) modifier when holding R or U. Then I’m using Raycast to set hotkeys (using Meh+Letter) for important apps. There are probably a bunch of apps (especially launchers) that can do the last job, though! (One nice thing in Raycast is that hitting the hotkey again hides the app. But that might be the case everywhere.)

    How’s BTT going?

    @davidpierce.xyz This conclusion is one of the reasons why Apple’s entitlement towards third-party devs is so infuriating. I want to shout: “Apple, you’re not the one giving them business (in my case) — it’s the other way around!”

    (Sure Apple’s dev tools might be good — but still.)

  • @lmgimse.bsky.social Det var jo ingen dårlig straffe, da… Marginer.

    Hadde vært verre om det var redning på en lompe i keeperhøyde, liksom.

  • @slngshot-dvnngrod.bsky.social Yeah, I do have some longing looks towards Linux. I wrote a blog post called Locked-In-O-Meter: iPhone Edition earlier, and I plan to do a Mac version as well! But my three main reasons for why it’s hard to move off the Mac are:

    1. I’d take a larger hit on the hardware compared to moving phone platforms. (Even though Frameworks are cool.)
    2. There’s a bunch of software I need, like Logic Pro and Affinity (the latter could perhaps be emulated from Windows?).
    3. There’s a lot of third-party software I’d really miss. Like Bike, Ulysses, Raycast, Paste, Cleanshot, BetterTouchTool, etc. Even after Tahoe, I love using my Mac — because of apps like that.

    Also, with the Mac I can, to a larger extent (compared to the iPhone — not Linux), fix the things I don’t like.

    Haha, yeah — the 30% thing was just a tongue-in-cheek jab at Apple. (Since, apparently, the party giving the other the business deserves 30 %.)

    @hunsanger Thanks! 🫶🏻 Yeah, it is a bit complicated. Doesn’t make it impossible, though!

  • @agile Me too! I tried to add one of them now — but turns out I don’t have a Thread border router. 😅 My Apple TV is too old, and the one in my Mac Mini is locked by Apple… (I run Home Assistant on it.) I was trying to find a used Apple TV 4K (w/Ethernet) anyway, so..!

    Oh, wait — turns out I should be able to get Thread to work with the radio I use to get Zigbee to my Mac Mini/Home Assistant… 🤔
