> I’ve considered open sourcing it, but to be honest, I don’t really want the burden of being a maintainer

Honestly you could open-source it with a not-maintained disclaimer just as a way for others to take it to not have to redo the work working with Agents and just build off of your existing work (and you can turn off github issues etc. to prevent nags). I for one would love to poke around with it and point an agent at it to see what it can do

> It's frustrating that Apple doesn't have their own Screen Sharing (VNC) application on the iPhone/iPad

At this point it almost feels intentional on Apple's part for not having a first party app, as if having one would be a tacit admission that iPads/iPhones are lesser than actual computers (although the logic does break down since they allow it on Macs).

IIRC they do support weird versions of screen sharing and remote control when on a Facetime call which is convoluted to say the least.

Exactly how http was the standard for normal websites and banks et. al. using https until, everyone was.

Now that was a good thing with https, not so much with passkeys until Chrome pushes through a change and says they'll only accept attested passkeys issued by their own google password manager/authenticator.

Have you attempted some of the "swift" variants of 3.8? I've heard they're super good in terms of toning down thinking without affecting performance

Well, it sounds like you fundamentally misunderstand the appeal and the DNA of what macOS strived for then:

> "When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through."

These things matter because that's what the OS has been championing for years. It's not Windows where it's almost expected to see a random Windows 95 dialog when you're trying to do something.

Apple slipping here means they've lost sight of their DNA and that's rot-from-within bad. If you are careful of the small details, that means they care enough that the larger details will iron themselves out.

Yes, like you said, there's bigger things that matter, but Apple's older software quality strived to achieve both, not just one or the other

Even funnier, there's new ones added for Liquid Glass that still reference NS: NSGlassEffectView

FWIW, the reviews mention the size is off haha, I assumed it was the usual chunk of buyers accidentally picking up A4 instead of Letter but it seems like the A4 itself is off: 8.5"x11.5-12" instead of the 8.5"x11".

+ for folks using Kagi Search, you can set up a search engine level redirect (which is what I used to use for redirecting Twitter/X links to Xcancel before the takedown)

> Not guaranteed but easy, because Windows has mnemonics, where you can associate arbitrarily nested menus with actions, and each menu can have its own mnemonic key, so that you press ALT, then, say, "k", then, maybe "m" and so on, following along with the menus as they drop down.

> I'd even say friendlier than MacOS (heresy!!)

Honestly, I disagree. If you've used macOS for a length of time, you might be aware of the universal menu search system using (cmd+? i.e. cmd+shift+/). Hit that, type the menu item name, and simply hit return to activate it. Doesn't get simpler than that. The alt+ system always feels very janky to me on Windows because on many apps, hitting Alt relayouts the entire app sometimes to show the menu bar on top.

> Pre-(consumer) GPS, I definitely got turned around even in cities I knew reasonably well that aren't on a grid system in parts. It can be bad enough today in some sections of busy cities where you need to constantly shift lanes etc. and be at least moderately aggressive but trying to drive with a map open on your lap at night could be a bit of a nightmare--and not especially safe.

As I was reading your comment I was imagining how hard it would be to do in Boston where even using a GPS gives me borderline paranoia then I finished reading your comment.. Yeah that's not something I'd wish on my worst enemy.

Possibly depending on who's routing it, since Openrouter seems to have added a separate slug for this, and they don't have an alias router for the DS models yet, so it shouldn't have swapped over to it in case you use them for routing.

If you are directly using it through Deepseek, they do mention that the flash slug has migrated over

Noticed none of the comparisons mention Kimi K3. Is there a comparison chart?
