Personally, the icon and widget edges constantly moving around when moving the phone even slightly in any direction got on my nerves so bad that I had to disable Motion completely (the only fix for it). This unfortunately also downgraded a lot of other UI components/interactions as well.

It did give me a battery boost though, so at least there's that.


What is there to explain? The author did not claim there is a difference in the article.

The last day will be this Tuesday.


I was directly confronted by multiple advertisement pop-ups that cannot be closed (directly reopen) and have questionable contents. It’s a hard pass for me.

I rather use Cyberchef, it’s open source, runs locally (browser client-side) and supports a gazillion encoding/decoding/hashing options.


Scroll horizontally, to the right.


Looking at a Digital Clocks also work for me. For some reason those always seem to “bug out”, showing or hiding random lines and sometimes even showing an unreadable time.


I've noticed something similar. If I try to look at a piece of dream text, it looks all garbled. Just like how some AI art generators make text.

Except, I can't remember if my dream text look that way before I was exposed to AI art, or if my dreams were influenced by my memories of AI art text.


I think that the older you get, the less new milestones/events you have (that impress you and remember in detail). This results in having less moments to refer to when looking back in time, (skipping uneventful timespans). This makes things seem closer to the current time than they really are as everything in between is empty noise.


I don’t want to take away your spotlight, because it’s a nice project you launched,

But I do want to point out to people that https://github.com/domainaware/checkdmarc exists for quite a while. I use it often and have also integrated it in various automated tooling.

(It also does not require handing out email addresses to strangers.)


For fun.


Atom is 6th in the (default filter) list but it is no longer maintained since 1 year (minus six days). Not sure if this should be listed as a viable alternative option.


Isn't there a community maintained version? I don't see how a truly open source project could disappear overnight. It's a text editor. It's not trying to keep up with ever-changing standards so it's not going to just break.


> I don't see how a truly open source project could disappear overnight.

well it was developed mainly by Github so all it takes is reallocating devs away from the project and the progress just halts


It has almost 1000 open issues and dozens of dependcy update PRs.

It's true that some small software projects can easily live on without much maintenance for a long time, a text editor is no small feat.

"Not going to just break" is a pretty low bar for most things, especially software.

Now, maintenance doesn't necessarily mean lots of code changes but at least some attention and oversight seems critical for anything of the slightest significance


You may be thinking of Pulsar (<https://pulsar-edit.dev/>)?


thx for mentioning it. What would be a good replacement, you know any?


I'd pay for atom whatever they want, vscode is a horrible alternative.


The real alternative (and what all these editors are based on) is Emacs. Take the plunge. You won't regret it.


Or if you do regret it, try Vim :)

Both great tools


The only vim implementation I would use now is evil-mode for Emacs. You should try it too.


Oh I have! Was very very nice. Got into lisp a bit, then gave it all up when something in the tower of babel broke in a subtle way and I realized I didn't need all the complexity.

Was super fun though. The experience is probably part of the reason I'm writing my own editor (in Lua).


Could you list your gripes with VSCode vs Atom?
