Other CPU and SoC makers should get even more scared now. If you have used a machine with an M1, you know it is awesome. A better M1PRO is hard to imagine, truly.

M1 is great, and it is coming to even more systems. Specifically talking about the MBP: the M1PRO. It is the next SoC on the M1 family.

The features that macOS Monterey will bring, albeit minor, will made for a better "quality of living". I am looking forward to Notes, and the iCloud+ integration (Private Relay, Hide My Email). It also bring macOS cohesively close to iOS. My work 2015 iMac and M1 Mini will get it, so looking forward to it!

I am noticing that Yarn doesn't treat "outside" (that is, twts coming from a client other than Yarn) twts hashes right. Two examples:

- https://twtxt.net/twt/mwtnrna
- https://twtxt.net/twt/fl5dooq

There are many more, but those two will give you the gist. Yarn links the hash to the poster's twtxt.txt, so conversation matching will not work.

@movq, would you know the regex to use within .muttrc to colorise a Markdown code block like the one below?


# This one works for `code`, but that's about it.
(^|[[:space:][:punct:]])\\`[^\\`]+\\`([[:space:][:punct:]]|$)

Having used---and still using---1Password (a password manager) for many years, I have gone through a few stages of disliking/frustration with it. The first was when subscriptions were set in place, the second is now, with their approach for auto-filling under iOS. It is, more often than I would like to, telling me to configure it when I did so from day one. My open support ticket isn't going too far either.

I wish iCloud KeyChain would mimic some of its features, so I can just dump it. KeyChain has improved a lot, now allowing OTP to be saved with a credential, but it is still not quite there yet.

@movq Awesome! About to git pull, and check it out. Thanks!
@prologic You will have to agree that always using reply (like I am doing on this one) loses everything on translation after the third or fourth replies. It simply doesn't promote engagement. On top of that, all replies show on the timeline as well, without much---to none---context.
@prologic I know, because fork makes it 100% sure to know who is replying to whom. Just like email's in-reply-to does (plus the message-id).
@prologic Make it fill in mentions? Problem solved. ๐Ÿ˜Š
@prologic What if the reply does what fork does, for any replies to the top post, but not the top post itself? You know, like email does. Other than to reply to the top post (for which I use reply), I don't use reply but fork, to reply to posts underneath because it is the logical thing to do.

@lyse Unless you are stripping stuff on your twts, there is no much to implement. Things will be bold , *italics* , _underlined_ , and so on, on a client that can render them. Since jenny uses Mutt, I can use my own regex in it to color them as I like. That's pretty much it.
@quark How about code? (this is mostly to configure mutt?)

@prologic I am thinking on calling in sick to work. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Every time I order an iPhone, I take the day off on delivery day. On Apple events I normally use my lunch and break times all combined, to watch them.
Apple's event on Monday is bringing, as always, speculation to the table. One thing most outlets seem to agree is the introduction of an "M1X" chip, thought Apple might call it differently. M1X might also mean, M1(we don't know what comes after, or next generation). Either way, I would really like to see the return of the 27" iMac, but I will not hold my breath. Nevertheless, Monday is going to be an exciting day for many, including me! ๐ŸŽ
@eldersnake There isn't an equivalent for those because:

>Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags.

You can read more of its philosophy at Daring Fireball. There are enhancements to Markdown (CommonMark, for example), that add extra to it.
