  • Thank you for your suggestion.

    Having just tried it, it is not for me. The categories is there, but having the search/app drawrr on the top won’t work me, especially with these stupid large phone everyone makes. (I’m guessing theres a way to change it, but I didnt get that far)

    The ultimate reason its not for me is how widgets are a scrolling thing. It’s a different idea, but I like the widgets on my home screen where I can passively see them.

    If there’s a way to change that, I didnt see it. I didn’t even find a way to get rid of the big clock at the bottom.







  • I’m going to copy paste a reply I left somewhere else. This was for iOS AI, I’m unsure what the implemention for macOS is. If they are scanning everything then I do not support it.


    From what I saw,

    MS Recall is a 24/7 AI monitor system that captures everything you look at and saves it for later. They didn’t even do the bare minimum for protecting the data, it was just dumped in an unencytped folder where anyone get wholesale access to the data. All trust has been lost.

    Apple is using AI as a tool to improve specific tasks/features that a user invokes. Things like assistant queries and the new calculator. They have said some promising things in regards to privacy, specificly with the use of ChatGPT - any inquiry sent to ChatGPT will ask the user permission first and obscure their IP. This shows they care enough to try, they have not lost our trust - but we remain skeptical.


    If apple tries the same thing by scanning everything wholesale, then that’s getting over shadowed by the promises made by the implentaion on the much more popular iOS.



  • Me: when you’re ready let’s do the thing we’d agreed we wanted to do around now.

    Them: okay. (drops everything)

    Me: okay…I knew you’re in the middle of something, I can wait 5 minutes.

    Them: ugg, no, its fine let’s just go now.

    (Later with someone else)

    Them: Ugg, I always feel rushed to do things with [me].

    Other: you know he’ll will wait for you right, its not a big deal.

    Them: I know, but I feel bad. I dont like wasting his time…(he doesn’t have a lot of it left).


  • I like Simple Note.

    I’m not sure about real time collab, but I know you can share notes.

    https://simplenote.com/

    They do have a github page. Having to make an account and store notes server side is a big minus, but it is the only one I’ve found to

    1. Not be Google
    2. support all major OS (Lin, Win, Mac, And, ios, and browser)
    3. Not serve ads
    4. Not require self hosting
    5. Not ask for money (beside a donate button)
    6. Not be Google

    Edit.

    Digging into it a bit more. Seems they started in 2008 and were aquired by Automattic, in 2013. Same people behind WordPress. Oddly enough, Simple Note is not listed in their list of products.

    Simple Note client side is GPL-2.0 The server is proprietary

    They say on their own site, don’t store sensitive data. But that’s good advice for any online service.
