My new Windows PC laptop at the office makes me realize that the best Office 365 experience (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, OneNote) is on a PC, not on a Mac, which will always be a second citizen for Microsoft.

Unpopular opinion: The Browser Company should have made Dia a part of the Arc Browser. I don’t see the need for a new paradigm to achieve what Dia is trying to do as a stand-alone app. Plus, how come a browser company rely on someone else’s browser engine to do its thing? My understanding is that Dia is built on Chromium, just like the Arc Browser.

It seems I overlooked that Inoreader can’t send email summaries of RSS feeds on the Pro plan; an Enterprise plan is necessary. That’s disappointing. I’ll search for alternatives to replace Mailbrew, then. 🤔

Well, I’m going to drop Mailbrew because of the lack of updates to the service in recent years. I’ll try to replace that with Inoreader, a service I already depend on. Otherwise, I might give a look at Digest.

I'm Already Feeling The Upcoming Loss

The last time I used a Windows PC was with Windows 10 sometimes around 2020. Since then, Windows 11 came out with a few major releases along with it. I’ll have to relearn so many small things to flex my muscles memory. Also, and it’s probably the biggest lost: so many small utilities like Raycast, CleanShot X, Paste, PopClip and so many more that were making me much more productive are gone with Windows 11. Am I going to survive?

Starting with my new job next week, I won’t be able to use LucidChart anymore and that makes me sad. LucidChart is such a pleasure to use and has been supporting my creativity for a few years until this week. The next best thing is Apple Freeform, but I won’t have access to this either. Hello Microsoft Visio. 🙄

Started to think about my knowledge organisation scheme with Microsoft OneNote for my next job. OneNote works with Notebooks, Sections and pages. I might start with one notebook then later subdivide the data as my knowledge accumulates. I don’t hate OneNote. It’s a rather well designed app IMO.
