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.

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.
