It makes working with Xcode simulators even easier by having a dedicated UI workflow to install the proxy certificates and restart the sim. I used to face issues from time to time doing this with Charles having to restart my machine at times and not getting the certificates to work. Proxyman makes this way nicer to work with and since switching I never faced certificate issues again.

Not trying to do an ad, but really glad I don‘t have to think about that anymore :)


They are testing it in a real world scenario before putting it into a LTS of theirs.

I truly hate it! Why not use Raycast or Alfred?


I would say that‘s a bit overly simplified, as much as the indie or indie like game scene is thriving, so is the online multiplayer scene. Gaming is huge and just because one thing is big doesn’t mean another is not. Not a zero sum game here.


Sure but not being able to play 4 games is not an indication of success either way. It's not 2012 when you had to have Call of Duty - you can not have battlefield, cod or fort nite and still never run out of incredible, popular games to play.


If you have a bunch of friends that have battlefield/cod/fortnite and want to play them, they will still do so without you, or at least heavily pressure you into getting them.


I'm not sure what could that even mean from consumer pov - I'm not going to buy a platform because some of my friends might want me to play a specific game with me?

The pressure to get more games on your platform has never been as low as it is today and has never been this low on Steam itself. You could spend a lifetime with the current Steam library and never feel bored.

From product pov Valve feels very comfortable and I bet they have the data to back up this move with basically unlimited war chest. If anything I feel like Valve is pressuring game developers of these major games here - not the other way around.


That’s exactly the thought process of every teenager ever, and also most people who want to connect with their friends through gaming beyond their teenage years.

Not everyone experiences gaming the same way.


Yea as a casual I only care about gaming with others. I don’t care about doing it on my own so my consumer behavior depends on social stuff


> I'm not sure what could that even mean from consumer pov - I'm not going to buy a platform because some of my friends might want me to play a specific game with me?

Yeah exactly. Depending how much you care about playing with friends compared to playing at all you might make that choice.


> I'm not sure what could that even mean from consumer pov - I'm not going to buy a platform because some of my friends might want me to play a specific game with me?

That's exactly how console sales worked in the past. I bought an Xbox because all my friends were playing Halo, and I wanted to join in...

The recent phenomenon of games supporting cross-play out of the gate is probably eating into this, but exclusives were a hell of a moat back in the day.


But what if you edited a section about code piece A and then you change that code? Does it have permission to overwrite? Seems like a fairly hard problem to solve.


Yes, hard problem, we are working on this


How about OpenAIs whisper[0]? My social science friends tell me it‘s been great for them. Not sure whether data privacy et all would be an issue of course, but I guess you can just run it locally :)

Dragon is an app, whisper is a model with a CLI that takes .wav files. Totally different user experience.


you can run whisper locally on your machine.


Maybe try localsend it‘s a great piece of software replicating airdrop but cross platform and open source.

Until you try to send a file with an extension it’s not allowed to send on iOS like mkv. Apart from that’s great.


Only for you as an individual, from an economic and societal perspective a bursting bubble is never good!


It’s not the bursting that is bad. It’s the bubble that is bad. The bursting is unpleasant, but good.


Much like a boil.


I have to fully agree. They have a discussion on their GitHub [0] about tabs/identation stating that the design goal is to have a non-configurable formatter.

I get the idea behind having a streamlined formatting style, but I’m really not a fan of denying users the flexibility to adjust it to their needs. Consistency across projects is nice, yet forcing everyone into a single indentation style feels unnecessarily rigid. A little configurability would go a long way :)

You don’t tell your media player company secrets ;)

I think there is a market here, solely based on actual data privacy. Not sure how big it is but I can see quite some companies have use for it.


> You don’t tell your media player company secrets ;)

No, but my email provider has a de-facto repository of incredibly sensitive documents. When you put convenience and cost up against privacy, the market has proven over and over that no one gives a shit.
