Now Cursor can actually see what's going on in your iOS Simulator for you 👀🤖

The new `ui-view` tool in v1.4.0 inputs image data into your conversation context automatically so you don't need drag and drop images manually into your conversation.

It does help provide a market for gluten free alternatives, which is a good thing for those who truly can’t have it.

It's so nice to get this sort of feedback from an iOS developer I've known on twitter for a long time, who is now working adjacent to one of my teams at @infinite.red. 🥰

We'd like to do a "work together" day for Infinite Red Portland locals and looking for a conference room or relatively quiet office to hang out in. We will be quiet and respectful ourselves, of course!

Reply, DM, or email first name at infinite dot red!

Anybody in Portland who would have an office space to host me and ~5-7 of my devs for a day? Probably in a couple weeks.

I'm talking about contributions, not consumption. Of course, everyone will freeload, consuming open source. But a tiny percentage ever contribute.

(I have done a ton of open source going back 15 years.)

That feels like a reach to me. I see it as orthogonal; a third thing, not like capitalism or like socialism, but rather a voluntary association thing.

This is a major reason why @infinite.red is so special as a company. Having owners with a mindset like this, it sows the roots for an incredible culture.

I understand the comparison (public ownership, accessible to all, for public benefit, collab over competition).

But it's very different in key ways. Importantly, it's voluntary, rather than coercive. There's no central authority compelling you to contribute time / money / resources to the commons.
