Agree. That is why when it comes to movies I still rent discs at a local video store. The owner, Colin, is the ultimate movie recommendation master. The algorithm just can’t compete. If you live in San Francisco, the store is called Video Wave.
I’ve been using Omarchy (Arch+Hyprland) as my daily driver for over a month. It is faster, prettier and more efficient than macOS in my opinion. I have a Framework 16” on order. I can’t wait to get it.
Or just go with a Beelink SER8 and toss Arch Linux + Wayland on it. you’ll save thousands of dollars and have a better user interface that’s way more customizable and efficient.
I have owned a Riese and Muller Load 60 (bucket cargo bike) for over 3 years now. It is the love of my life. My dog rides with me everywhere. Living the good life. So simple but so satisfying.
I have the same exact feeling every time I ride my cargo bike as I did the first day I rode it. An exciting open to the world feeling. It has never wore off. It allowed me to really experience the cities I’ve lived in.
maybe they should try to improve user experience with their own applications before telling others what to do?
Finder on MacOS: probably should be renamed to Hider. Just a horrible file explorer interface. I couldn’t imagine something worst. I ended up training my family on how to use the Terminal and mdfind command instead.
Apple Photos and the shared album interface is such a pain to work with as a user. I hope it’s not just me!
Plume Wi-Fi (would like to replace, owned by comcast now)
Solution stack:
Portainer + Docker Compose to manage everything
Nextcloud
Photo Prism
Tailscale (remote WireGuard based access from all my devices. Integrates well with Pfsense)
Home Assistant (amazing platform for home automation and more). I love the new voice control features and mission!
Used to self host Email with Helm hardware company (not k8s Helm) but they went out of business. Self hosting email is annoying thanks to the big email providers and their control over the spam filtering world.
This is probably a technology that must be open source. I would support a law enforcing this. I want all programmed intentions and bias completely open and transparent.
