8-bit Miniboss posted:Both are fine in fact. I've used both and love them, but I love Overcast a bit more because of Smart Speed. It's a useful feature. Note that Overcast's smart speed isn't available in the webplayer, which always makes me default to either using my phone or not listening at all. Getting used to the convenience has a cost.

noirstronaut posted:I have a stupid question, I admit that Pretty much that. It feels weird when you start doing it, but it's more about getting an overview of your immediate goals into your routine than some magic that suddenly makes you organized. These days I keep a paper planner for personal things that has cursory references to work items, and then work items on the phone with cursory references to personal things (I.e. Grocery list on paper, need to buy groceries listed on phone).

Boris Galerkin posted:What pedometer can explain this meme to me? (No seriously where did this meme come from). It started in the old Apps megathread. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3522474&pagenumber=51&perpage=40#post41618776 Basically, all at once a bunch of people were asking about password manager "Dashlane" without having read the 1-5 posts before them that also were asking about "Dashlane." This thread only talks about password managers, podcast clients, and weather apps with orange icons anyway. I guess content blockers are joining that pantheon now.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I upgraded anyway because it's probably one of my most-used apps. Tweetbot 4 is real pretty and the Activity page is going to be super useful. That was kind of a glaring omission in Tweetbot 3. Isn't this the same company that was supposed to update their ipad app in 2012 for free? Isn't this also the first update to the app offered since that announcement? I really just want to know how angry and vocal Tweetbot users are going to be over the next few weeks.

Legs Benedict posted:I too think that $1 is a fair price for many man hours of labor It is pretty lovely to anyone who bought it between 2012 and late September, 2015. But, that's why you don't purchase software for what it will become. Maybe TweetBot 5 will be a kickstarter with backer rewards and stretch-goal features. flosofl posted:I'm disappointed, but in no way surprised. Tapbot has always been about squeezing as much money as they can out of Tweetbot. I don't necessarily blame them for that, since their other product is a pale shadow compared to PCalc. And they really did put a ton of work into the new version. I found that the only real way I interact with twitter is from bitlbee, the service itself just doesn't fit into how I interact with technology otherwise. So, basically, Prompt is my ios twitter client of choice. I hear decent things about that one that looks like an-honest-to-god-CRT-terminal, but eew. Edit: /\/\/\ Could be, but if it were wouldn't they announce that to deflect the blame?

Mad Wack posted:I have Tweetbot 4 for iOS and Tweetbot for Mac - has anyone ever had these two successfully sync? I tried both iCloud and Tweetmarker and both of them don't seem to make the cross-platform leap. How do I fix this and not have to find my spot in 600+ toots? ufarn posted:Sync between iOS and Mac is a bit of a crap shoot. I wouldn't count on syncing anything but your timeline. If the two aren't synced, try moving up and down on the timeline you want to be synced. This app sounds like it has a flaw for every selling point, and worse the flaws are inconsistent so you don't even know which experience you'll be getting when you open it. I know I'm hating on TweetBot a bit in here, but it just astounds me the amounts you're willing to put up with at the price point. Is it really worth it, or is it the sunk cost fallacy? (Or is tweetbot 4 sinking in to just be a poo poo upgrade?)

The Devil Tesla posted:Hahaha he's taking a pay cut due to his neuroses over how and how many people use his app, and will effectively force other iOS podcast players out of the market. Overcast isn't perfect for everyone but it's good enough for enough people that I'd be surprised if there's enough of a market for the rest to be profitable. Marco you tool. Wasn't smart speed pretty much the only thing unlocked by paying? I bought the IAP a day or two after downloading Overcast so I don't really remember what was and wasn't behind the paywall, but I don't see that alone cannibalizing the market. Whether it does or not, if he's still getting his money then that's an issue with the monetization of the other apps, it's not like the futures market. If another app can find a way to do something like smart speed from a web/desktop player I'd jump ship in a heartbeat. I agree with the tool part, though.

I've even tried signing out/in to the App Store. Any ideas? Wait for the next iOS update that will hopefully fix the minor broken issue of "Downloading and storing apps."

benisntfunny posted:Is there some sort of greater benefit of scrobbling I don't know about? I've seen people time and time again say they can't live without it. As far as I know it just creates internet noise because no one cares what you personally listen to. I'd like to think there's a really great part of all this I'm missing. It's a form of diary that remains across music platforms--I've been through winamp, itunes, tomahawk, google play, amazon, songza, mpd, foobar, and I'm sure countless others that I'm forgetting. The ability to look back and find a group of songs I was listening to around those moments you want to remember is invaluable, and keeping it in one place makes that an endeavor I actually take. Because of that, I'll almost always switch to the alternative that can scrobble than the one with a slightly better selection/UI that cannot. A local solution would not be as appealing, if only again due to device migrations and not seeing a need to lock viewing my music history behind any form of credential. If last.fm didn't exist, it would work, but that along with the social benefits and the routine of 13 years keeps it preferable.

beefnoodle posted:That's fine, you don't seem to be among the complainers. I'm among the complainers. iTunes is bad software. I can manage my way around it now that I have a current-line workstation, but when I was using older Apple hardware iTunes would spend more time unresponsive than not. I don't expect older computers to run blazingly fast or anything, but I do expect them to be able to communicate with the phone without crashing in the middle of a sync. The users I most interact with think hanging and crashing are the same thing, and iTunes is just as likely to do either on older hardware--which leads to users needing external support more often than not just to get a ringtone onto their phone. Not every user who finds something they don't know how to do has the knowledge to find the solution to their problem on the internet and/or the time to spend on the phone with support, so we're talking about lowered consumer satisfaction.

dik-dik posted:I hate iTunes as much as the next person but when it comes to poo poo like transferring ringtones from your computer to your phone, it really is as simple as could possibly be. You literally just add the ringtone to your iTunes library, and set your phone to sync ringtones. Like, are y'all really struggling with this? Yes. The biggest problem is it doesn't always do what it's supposed to do. It runs like poo poo on older hardware, becoming unresponsive and (sometimes) crashing, with no way for the (average) user to know which is happening. These lockups often lead to the connection with the device being dropped, which means sync fails, which means you try again and hope it doesn't crash again. Older hardware being slower to run iTunes is fine, but not successfully performing iTunes operations (even slowly) is inexcusable. The only reason the better hardware is necessitated is the iTunes cruft--my music library is still mp3/mp4 as it was a decade ago, it's still between 10k and 15k songs as it was a decade ago, and it still only needs to perform the basic backup and sync functions with the iPhone that it did 9 years ago. Does the computer support USB2? Does the iPhone support USB2 via Lightning? That's all a user should have to care about.

dik-dik posted:How old are you talking? It still runs fine on my 2007 MacBook Pro with my 12K song library '09 iMac is where my personal library is relevant, but I've seen these issues in up to 2012 hardware on OS X. FWIW, I don't see these same issues on Windows hardware from the same time period unless it's low-spec like a netbook. The iMac isn't my primary machine or anything, but doing the poo poo support work I currently do, I see users with that issue often enough to think it bullshit. There are plenty of other problems with iTunes, but simply making two separate applications would solve a lot of those issues. ----- As for ringtones being frivolous, sure, for sake of argument, let's say they are in every circumstance frivolous; that doesn't change that it's what many users consider a basic aspect of a cell phone, and while you can download an alternative music player that pulls from the cloud or dropbox or w/e to use in place of Music on the phone, there is no such replacement for ringtones that doesn't require the user to interact with iTunes on a computer. But really, gently caress it, if I could go a week without having to reinstall some application on my iPhone because it disappeared/got stuck updating I'd call it a good week at this point. I'm able to negotiate myself down to that being a victory.

Just want to make sure I'm doing it the best I can. Clear your keychain. Keeping your passwords in multiple easily accessible locations is inherently less secure than keeping them in one location. There's no redundancy here, once the passwords are out it doesn't matter where they came from, so the less places they can come from the better.

The homepage answers your question, it is not buried underneath an FAQ. It's the 4th section of the homepage with the section header "Seamlessly manage all your accounts." To answer your question, no Polymail does not yet support anything but Gapps, Gmail, and iCloud. If you lookup their mobile site it states that Yahoo, Outlook, IMAP, and Exchange are coming soon but if you load the desktop site Exchange is missing. Both of those make me question if they know how to do anything but reference google and apple APIs

I would imagine any keepass apps would have good cloud service integration though, because that's the easiest way to sync the database. You can always use the google drive app to access the database then send it via share menu to your keepass application, it's not the end of the world to use things like Minikeepass that don't have a cloud service provider integration.

If you have a computer that is always on, you can use the IRCloud helper plugin to act as an always on client, bypassing this issue. Notifications will be sent to both your phone and PC then.
