Why, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck does Discord want permission to "monitor input from my keyboard even while using other apps"!?
Sounds to me like a keystroke logger
(I disabled/deleted it, of course. But nothing mentioned it was adding this.)

Sadly, it also now has a fascist right on the homepage too :(

Something like Bootstrap's inline form, but in macOS UI, of course. I can't find any guidance in the HIG.

I'm loving Zed.dev so much that for the first time in like ever, I changed macOS's default "Open with…" app from TextMate to Zed for Markdown files
And instead of using Marked app to view the rendered Markdown file/s, I'm just using Zed's built-in rendering, especially good as a split to the side

Every day, I'm still blown away that Apple uses yellow for link text in Notes app
In dark mode, it's not bad.
But in light mode, it's awfulllll contrast between the link text and the light yellow background.
(I'm not here for alternative notes app suggestions. Pls don't.)
