After *15 YEARS* I'm switching from iStat Menus to @imagetasks' iStatistica Pro. It's pretty great, and I much prefer its aesthetic, especially the menu bar stuff. Only downside is that you can't hide the dock icon. Hopefully soon. 🤞🏼

I'm loving all the domain-based auth, identity, destination, etc. stuff going on lately. Just another few reasons everyone should own their own domain.

LOVING @raycastapp's ChatGPT integration. The extensions were great, but the native implementation is fantastic. I'm done with my Python CLI interface, Obsidian's plugins, OpenAI's web dingus, etc. Only downside is that I can't use Raycast on my phone (even if only for ChatGPT).
