@agiletortoise As a Celiac, I increasingly witness people seeing or hearing “gluten free” and associating it with the kind of “healthy” food that doesn’t taste good. And also so disappointing to see the phrase appropriated as a marketing term for products that were never glutinous. But also? God, I love popcorn.

@patrickrhone The Notes.app functionality has never been better. Agreed. I think I need to give Notes a chance. The thing that Evernote does that I haven’t found another match for is the browser plug-in for clipping just the text and illustrations for an article, minus ads or CSS formatting. Professionally this has been enormously useful. Willing to be educated on an alternate tool that can do this, or a reliable way using what comes baked in.

@manton This is so frought. I see all the points of view. Even if I stay inside my own yard, I could be on someone’s security camera feed. If I stay inside my home, I’m still interacting with commercial entities who have records of all kinds of transactions. The privacy we once had is truly changed.

@rcrackley was sorta hoping to see one that might lead to the other.

@timapple There is a kind of polling interval you can adjust—we set ours to 30 seconds when the default one-minute rate didn’t catch someone stealing my daughter’s bike from my back yard.

@evan Am working July 3rd—Technology support. Don’t imagine there will be high demand for my services.

@otaviocc I think about things like this, too. For example, I have exported from Evernote to Notes.app more than once, but I can’t quit Evernote because of the cross-platform web clipping.
