Melatonic··on iPhone Duo
Exactly. Obviously Apple did the research on this.

Personally I still like the "flip" style fold (normal phone size that folds into a smaller square). The lack of durability for the inner screen seems like less of an issue if it's protected inside (while folded). This seems like it really incentivises leaving it unfolded except for pocket use

You can also use the VLC app on an Apple TV to have a free and slightly janky media server. Just drag and drop files through any browser on a computer.

The better Roku hardware I would say is a second best - you can block the as servers fairly easily and then you do have to disable all the crap on the homescreen.

They could also dual boot windows for Arm. Just like before. Assuming Apple did the boot camp thing again
Melatonic··on Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader
Does the official repo not or you mean this version where the guy sounds like he did some customisations on the navigation buttons ?
Melatonic··on Bill Gates tries to install MovieMaker (2003)
Don't underestimate working for the medium size business nobody has heard of but prints money doing something semi boring. They won't change the world but it's often a reliable paycheck without all the BS

Melatonic··on Nitter and XCancel resume service after legal advice
Probably where twitter is going honestly. Not unlike MySpace pivot to music and Facebook being used exclusively for Messenger

That's kind of the same thing though - the people you wanted to interact with were there. They just were a different cohort than what you might find on something like Instagram today.

Melatonic··on Record-High 89% in U.S. Say Government Corruption Widespread
It's also possible that we have better tools now to expose corruption and communicate it to each other. The level of corruption could be the same but we are just much more aware

I agree though it's concerning that now it seems to be done without care to the visibility

Melatonic··on GLP-1s are being linked to fewer serious infections, including TB
Because they need to medically or it helps athletically ?
Melatonic··on GLP-1s are being linked to fewer serious infections, including TB
I would imagine people going out of their way to take GLP-1 might also lose weight, be more active, and be also likely to eat better. Which I imagine would have a large effect on "germ busting"
Melatonic··on Launch HN: RonanRX (YC S26) – Personalized Peptides and GLP-1s
The idea sounds great but it defaults on mobile to a full screen chat window basically. Super annoying. I would change that asap.

It's the hero's journey. Home is always on the left and you leave going right. Standard in Animation I believe

The real question should be: where are all your Pelicans going ?

Melatonic··on I Don't Have a Smartphone
