I wrote a whole thing on this, but tldr; I switched from Gmail to iCloud about a year ago. Gmail is better at filters, search, web UI, and spam filtering. iCloud is better at native UI, offline support, and ecosystem integration.

Overall I’m happy with it but only because I’m willing to pay the costs for the benefits, which I think is pretty rare.

It depends on your password manager and sync method. With most if I take all your devices away from you, you can’t go to any public computer and access all your passwords using only what you know. You need to have one of your physical devices.

Password managers do have two factors: the vault (have) and the master password (know).

Thinner the better. It creates more places for air. Same for curly fries. Even a slightly bent normal fry hogs more space than a straight one.

Technically all of them work already, just with subpar UI. If you follow a Lemmy community on Mastodon by searching for it like a user, the community’s posts show in your Mastodon timeline.

Each community post appears as a Mastodon post boosted by the community “user”. Threaded replies all work.

To make a post to a community, you tag the user in any top-level Mastodon post.

I do think they’ll eventually sell a trimmed down Apple Vision if only because they’re launching with just Apple Vision Pro, but I don’t think the reasoning is that complicated.

Apple is not known for dead products or ecosystems, so there’s confidence in its success; developers will be on board. It was the same thing for the iPad, and it was the same thing for the Apple Watch.

The high price is just a reflection of the three compounding factors: it’s AR/VR, it’s Apple, and it’s the Pro version. So it was always going to be expensive.

Take a look at intelligent tiering for a good no-frills solution! Each item automatically determines its tier based on how often you access it.

I’d look at karlicoss’s personal data infrastructure for inspiration (or perhaps deterrent).

It’s made by and for people with autism. The link details this.

Obsidian is a fantastic note taking app that focuses on cross-linked notes, so is effectively a personal wiki.

It has a paid add on that lets you publish it to a website, or you can just do it yourself since the files are all Markdown.
