Yeah, this seems like an obvious solution. If possible, move your workout to before work.

That stands today. In the future the SOTA might move to where models of today are no longer competitive and there no open-weight alternatives available anymore. Let’s hope it’s not the case.

even if that were to happen, its still a better situation than now.

The head was almost certainly milled out of a blank made on a lathe. Something like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/Yf-twqgWZQ8

I think most use cases for App Clips are better served by simple web apps, which is why App Clips never really took off.


How? I know you can move the cursor by holding space and dragging but how do you start the selection?


touch the keyboard area with another finger :)


Thanks for that tip!

Unfortunately, it's still bad. It's a bit better than dragging the handles of the selected area, but if I go to far and want to reduce the selected area, it doesn't work anymore.


yes, this feature seems to be extend-only.


I have an Apple hand, with only one finger.


I found the Apple Table Saw user!


“Intuitive!”


I do it by double-tapping a word and then dragging the handles… does that work for you?


> iOS Text Selection is Pure Chaos

> You just wanted to move the cursor. Now everything is selected.

> You want to position the cursor at the end of a line. You tap. It selects the last word. You try to grab the handle — it doesn't respond and deselects. You tap again, now it selects the whole sentence. You tap blank space to deselect — nothing. You tap five more times. On the fifth, it selects all. You switch apps hoping the selection disappears. You tap and hold — sometimes text selects, sometimes a menu appears, sometimes nothing. Got a Magic Keyboard? Good luck — trackpad selection just doesn't work half the time, but touching the screen does. Eventually you select all, delete everything, and retype from scratch. Apple has had 17 years to figure out touch text selection. This is where they landed.


I still miss 3D Touch. For me, iPhone XS was the peak iPhone.


Yeah, me too, that form factor was perfection. So pretty, so nice to hold!


The new Cayenne seems to be a step in the right direction for VAG.

There’s no app for Apple platforms making it a lot less useful.


That's probably because AFAIK Apple doesn't allow process forking, making any Tor-based messenger almost impossible to run as Tor would have to run as part of the main thread.


It's because iOS needs push notifications to resume background apps, and there's no secure way to do the push notifications

but having the bluetooth part working on iOS should not be an issue right?


This is entirely false, Apple allows the use of threads in their applications.


Oh I found a better explanation

>iOS doesn’t allow apps to fork subprocesses. While on the desktop Tor is running as a separate process, on iOS Tor is hacked to run as a thread inside the app itself. Therefore, you can’t have a system-wide Tor process like desktop and Android. If Tor is running in one app, and you open a different one, it’s not automagically going to start using Tor.

True but I assume Apple users understand they exclude themselves by demanding a "benevolent dictator" insuring they are "safe".


Apple pulled similar apps from the App Store: https://www.npr.org/2019/10/10/768841864/after-china-objects...


Similar? Very different. The HKmap.live app was build and marketed directly for the protests. It tracked social media and geolocated where the police and protests were happening, etc. This is a big distinction.


Briar has the advantage of being usable with bluetooth and internet so it makes it much more useful.


Bitchat also has internet based chat, in addition to bluetooth mesh.



"Warning: the Android app (including apk) is currently unavailable for download and use due to an ongoing essential security update."


fair point, especially in the west. But looking at the market share, Android is probably the platform to build for, especially if you have an additional phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste...


Buy a cheap shit android phone for under $100 and never associate it with a SIM


Password reset emails usually contain a token that expires rather quickly so unless I’m missing something, this should be a non-issue.


But you can generate such emails with a public username


Yep. And if you also have access to my email, you can already look at it to figure out exactly what services I have an account with.

If you’ve pawned my email address, you can get my user names, send email reset, etc, etc.


Or the email address you have already hacked into. Why both with the username at that point.


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.


What most people without this "experience" never understand:

you just _cant_

If you've seen a distinct "low bar", its nearly impossible to get straight up above this bar
