For me apps like Opal work really well.

Opal is incredibly helpful for me. Exactly the right amount of control and annoyance to get me off social media.

Opal's ads were very good actually. I got targeted ones on Instagram Reels and they legitimately made me uninstall everything that wasn't serving me. Ironically I never installed Opal, but their marketing team really did me a solid.

This will be missed and was a really nice growth hack. The following scenario just worked so well:

- Setting up phone for relatives

- Replacing Android Messages with Signal

- “So this is the App to send and receive SMS, and you can also send me and many others secure and free messages on there”

My optimism for Signal becoming mainstream just faded...

There’s a really good Podcast from FT on the payment issues with porn. It’s more complicated than the chargeback rates. If you want to go down that rabbit hole: https://www.ft.com/content/762e4648-06d7-4abd-8d1e-ccefb74b3... The podcast is quite a nice history wrap-up on online payments. Episode 8 addresses the current situation with credit card companies most detailed.

> what percentage of users actually care about using the OSX dictionary while working? They took out a bunch of space to show a user using the dictionary for the word "reading" - a use case that likely doesn't resonate with 99.9% of their users.

Indeed, what a ridicolous example that is! I've not once used the built in dictionary on purpose, only clicked it by mistake. And they chose the word "reading" to highlight some sort of usefulness?

I love Sketch and am a paying user with our company, but this article and discussion does not leave me hopeful for a bright future.

Exactly my story. Had this with my retina MBP from 2015 and couldn't understand how this is supposed to be usable.

Tried everything, even resetting the OS.

Have a new MPB since Monday, tried Firefox again, no issues at all.

I don't know. But someone posted this in a previous comment, maybe it helps:
