I’m not sure if you need to hear this but in case you do: There’s only one way to get back to it and the sooner you do it, the easier it is. First week is hardest, then the positive feedback loop starts kicking in. Do not to think about it, just get it done.
Wow, that’s cool! I wonder whether one day Apple is going to allow something like this with headless “macOS” VM on iPadOS to make it a viable local development platform.
Using this package is a security failure from the beginning. It doesn’t use the public WhatsApp API, it reimplements the official WhatsApp client auth. Authentication uses a shared secret and it’s obvious that you as a third party obtaining this secret from your users is unsafe and a bad practice (especially if it’s third party code processing it!).
Users should know better as well but you can’t really blame them.
Doubtful. App Store ads predate European and Japanese regulation, if Apple wants to compete on-merits then they should be removing ads to justify their developer fees.
Is it a viable way of short to mid distance urban transport? Can you bunny-hop it to overcome e.g. curbs?
I’ve learned to appreciate simplicity in machines. For a long time I thought of a skateboard as the simplest one for transport but this got me thinking.
You can absolutely bunny hop (and so much more). With a 24″ or larger wheel, you can pretty confidently do short trips. If you're looking to do a few kms, 27.5″ is the sweet spot I've settled on for the size/speed/comfort trade-off.
Where I live you're even permitted to take them on the bus/train, assuming you're not being too much of a pain. Unicycles are specifically outlined in the terms.
This is exactly why I just bought one! I take the bus to work, but I live about 1.5k from the nearest bus stop and it's pretty flat.
Unfortunately it's just starting to be icy here so I probably won't be able to make much use of it for several months, but at least it's something to look forward to!
You can bunny-hop to go up curbs. I've witnessed a friend go up an entire staircase (something like 60 steps I think) doing it. He then proceeded to ride straight down without issue (somehow).
Spotify is so cheap that it is worth it for the convenience alone. Not to mention Spotify is legal while piracy is not.
However, I agree that if you enjoy music (or any other art/content) someone produces, it’s only fair (and natural) to support them in a more direct way.
I suppose the qualifier here is "there's no moral point in paying for streaming". If you're fine listening to your favorite artist but paying Taylor Swift for your convineinece, cool.
You'll benefit the artist much more by throwing a real dollar at them and pirating their music.
