There's already Island browser that competes in this space. Plenty of companies pay for browser control that goes beyond what the normal policies can provide.

Yeah, in scripts I try to be as explicit as possible. `$HOME` for the home directory, `$XDG_DATA_HOME` for `/home/foo/.local/share/`, etc.

The more specific you are, the less gotchas you're going to fall to.

Is this just for `.com.co`/`.co` or is this a hike across more than that? It seems like there is either missing information, or it's just specific TLD.

I've added a button that just triggers `navigator.share()`[1]. I know most users do the copy-paste dance, but I find this is a good middle ground. Adding functionality for my users, but not adding special social media share buttons.

That is genuinely a neat usage, but I don't find myself needing to search through images for text. I am glad they're still updating and working on BBEdit, but the major revision feels a little flat with features.

I'm sure some people will like this update, but it's a big meh for me. I'll wait for some further updates to upgrade.

In addition to this guys app, there's also brutaldon[1]. A web1.0 client that serves as a web interface for mastodon.

Yeah, toggling in any manner you see fit (a Shortcut would be useful in this case) the location services in its totality or in the context of the Camera app would accomplish the same result.

Yes. You can turn it off for Camera if you don't want the geotag to be included in the photo when taken. You can also, as part of the share media picker, opt to include or exclude location data on the photo.

Fossil is great. Not only is it a full suite of tools associated with the repository (discussions, tickets, wiki) but the tool is a single >10mb binary and can run as a web server (or CGI-like interface) for remote hosting.

Absolutely. Handy for making diagrams or just doodling and making custom headers for config files with `fig` and some boxes and shadows!

Just as a quick follow up, I completely forgot about the tool BackupLoupe[1]. It allows you to slice into your existing Time Machine backups and find out all manner of information on what's going on, what is backed up, when and what is taking up so much space.

My biggest gripes with Time Machine are the lack of visibility, the silent failures and the inflexible scheduling. I know there are methods to work around the last one, but the first two are paramount. It does do consistency checking, at least as far as the logs say, but it says nothing about the health of the backup container.

While most users don't really want to know about this stuff, I feel like it's important enough to have a more comprehensive UI to provide some insight into the feature and the associated health.
