Does everything always need precedence?


I think you mean precedents but in any case the precedent is that often a new tech is heralded with “this time is different! Ignore the precedents” and yet so far that has been wrong every time.

One day the sun won’t rise in the morning but it’s not something I’m going to plan on happening in my lifetime.


Jep, sorry not an native english speaker.

It’s been wrong every time, except for the times it wasn’t. Nobody remembers those though. Something something confirmation bias.


Thank you. AI is different from tools we've seen before. There won't always be a precedent to refer to.


Well they would still be running the google models in Apple DCs. I doubt this is a very cost efficient deal for them.


If you can switch to an iPhone, you can switch to a phone capable of installing grapheneOS though…


Wouldn’t something like an Apple Watch be much more reliable for alerting emergency services in case of seizure, given that fall detection is an actually advertised feature of it?


Maybe but an Apple Watch can’t put me in the recovery position


You won’t miss much. The only thing I am missing is the mop after vacuum functionality, which was kinda borked and eventually removed in Valetudo for my specific model (Dreame L10s pro ultra heat)


Why not make an option to use third party JMAP providers (like selfhosted stalwart)? It would help push the JMAP client ecosystem - which could really use some help…


I think the plugin system is close, the author is just busy with other things before doing the final push to get it merged.



I keep trying Orion from time to time, but my experience is basically the opposite. Plugins rarely work, websites break and reported bugs just get ignored for years while the only activity in the forum posts are a bunch of +1. Basically at this point I don’t ever see myself switching to Orion.

I do pay for Kagi, which has been a wonderful service.


Also I am wondering if you could estimate how difficult it would be to implement something like Niri? I much prefer the scrolling style tiling, but none of the MacOS WMs seem to be going that route (other than PaperWM.spoon which is not for me).


to answer both comments: i've been working on a way to handle tabs but it's hard to find a solution that isn't half-baked due to the lack of info on tabs given by the os (there are no events or anything, just on a11y attribute that give info on tabs)

as for a scrolling layout, its possible, but does not fit that well with rifts layout, even thought you can get something similar using trackpad swipes to switch between workspaces


Aerospace readme says they have a solution for tabs in mind based on their big refactor.

Haven’t looked into what this looks like, but understandable that it hasn’t made its way to rift yet. I will be trying out rift and report any issues on Github.



Interesting, thanks for sharing. My only concern is that it seems to use native MacOS workspaces which Aerospsace and Rift actively avoid. MacOS workspaces are hell to deal with, so I don't think this is for me.


I'm pretty new to Mac and didn't know Paper had a port, what isn't to your liking?


Just not a fan of this just being a Hammerspoon thing instead of a proper WM.


Does rift handle native MacOS tabs like the ones ghostty and finder use? I might give it a shot. I have been having a couple of issues with Aerospace lately.


Same. That's the worst part of Yabai


No, rift also has problems. For example, if I have Calendar on the left, and Finder on the right, and I open a tab in Finder, then it looks like it works.

However if I close the 2nd Finder tab, then Calendar maximizes below Finder.
