Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) for MacOS.

Nyxt 3 Pre-release 1 (a Lisp powered web browser)
The use of tools like Finicky (https://github.com/johnste/finicky) have made it pretty easy for me segregate certain workloads to certain browsers (as long as the links are opened from outside of the current browser).
Safari is my daily driver, but I only take Google Meet meetings in Chrome and Teams meetings in Edge. I’ve also forced certain JIRA URLs to different browsers (Firefox or Edge, depending), because I have to be logged in as particular users for them.
I rarely use other browsers for anything else, but will occasionally test things in them—but using the separate browsers has been really good for segregating certain classes of work.
- Ask HN: How can I make links open in Incognito by default?

Is there any way to open links in browser that is open on the current desktop, rather than the default browser?
Not sure, but maybe have a look at Finicky

Good open-source alternatives to essential paid Mac apps
I found Finicky to be a good (foss) alternative to Choosy if you don't mind writing a bit of json over using a nice GUI.

Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

Xcode 14.3 is completely unacceptable
xcodes is your friend for multiple versions of xcode

PSA: Dont upgrade to Xcode 14.3 just yet
Or use the ‘xcodes’ CLI to easily download, install, and switch between multiple Xcodes.

How does the community handle new Xcode versions releases?
The way we are handling in my team is to have 2 or 3 Xcode versions. An old one that is just the previous main last release (13.4.1), the current (14.1) which is always the Mac AppStore flavour and the beta (14.x) if it exist. That way we can build release with improved legacy if current doesn’t support our app env and we can test beta tooling as well as futur iOS/iPadOS versions. That said I saw many times Xcodes mentioned but haven’t tried it yet. It supposed to manage all your existing Xcode versions easier. Furthermore, when breaking changes happen in Xcode you can’t do more than fix your project if Apple hasn’t automatically done it for you.
We download new version (using Xcodes https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes), see how broken it is, fix surface-level issues, then give the build to QA. After everything is fixed and polished, switch to new Xcode full time and clean up legacy and deprecated stuff

How Apple's Xcode 14 update unintentionally increased app size
xcodes is rad as heck, a fantastic management tool for Xcode.
- Xcode 14 stuck updating? Did you upgrade to Ventura? Go to App store -> Updates -> Manually update that sucker.
-
What just happened in XCode 14?
If you are downloading from Mac App Store, then stop. Download from developer.Apple.com instead OR use the open source app xcodes to download new versions of Xcode. When I used to download from Mac App Store many years ago I had all sorts of issues too.
- command line tool to download and install Xcode
-
Any clues as to why I can’t install XCode? I have 40GB available, XCode is 12GB, yet it says there’s not enough space available.
Don't download through AppStore it's extremely painful. Use XcodesApp or Xcodes CLI tool instead much better and faster.
