It’s impressive how much greener the grass is on our side since we installed our automated irrigation system. 🥳

I canceled my SetApp subscription

Yesterday, I canceled my SetApp subscription. It’s around 110€ per year and I only use 3-4 apps from it. Did a quick i research and saw that I pay less for those apps if I buy them outright. And most of them will be supported for two years after purchase. Financially it’s a no-brainer and supports the developers even more. The apps I use?

  • Dash from Kapeli
  • BetterTouchTool
  • CodeRunner
  • Numi

I didn’t buy CodeRunner and Numi just now. The are both more expenssive (€20 and €35) and I don’t have a need for them currently.

Started reading: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson 📚 I am drawn into the story and am interested in the characters. Good start.

Discarded: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson 📚 I tried to read it for a few days but never got into the story. Somehow the phrasing and characters didn’t appeal to me at all. 🤷‍♂️ Already started the next book by Sanderson. It’s more my style.

Finished reading: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson 📚 My first Sanderson book. I didn’t know what to expect. It’s book two from the special projects series and unrelated to other books. Was a quick read and entertaining. 4/5 stars. Good main character. 😅😉

I recently found1 and older post by @manton about integrating footnotes2. This post is a only-slightly hidden exercise in using them.

I used to be a big fan of Mozilla’s Firefox browser. Now I read about For Advertising Firefox Now Collects User Data By Default. Learning about stuff like this makes it hard to continue to trust them. What are the alternatives? Going back to Safari? Not sure about what to do.
