Android apps also have the icon-tap-and-hold actions…

Is Kimi really competitive enough to have it in your mix?

I guess that would only be possible if your provider was Xiaomi itself?

Nice catch!

Isn't that the whole point? That I have chosen to visit that and personalize? Otherwise, you could say all personalization skews the worldview, and you'd be technically right (the worst kind of right).

Maybe you could set up an Alfred workflow for that using a special hotkey? And then you could use Karabiner-Elements to invoke that when you double-tap Cmd.

Not ideal, I know, but at least something.

I appreciate the attempt, but I'm still dumbfounded by that comment. After all, pirate streams are 1:1 copy of the official ones, and news censorship isn't about seeding newspaper scans…

Even if it is, it doesn't make sense for me. Pirate streams changing the… framing? The author tried to be sarcastic, but it didn't really work out.

Which makes that hope for our future disappear.

Who is “they”, you think, if not the Chinese or US labs?

Anna’s Archive still doesn't have everything — I suspect all these books described are not in this great dataset.

You describe mobile handheld scanners that are a form of self-checkout in some stores, but not the norm. Most of the commenters here probably associate self-checkout with a station with touchscreen, scanner and bagging area.

Instead of explaining why your app needs it, you decided to hand-wave "everyone does this". Peculiar.

It is not. You got it backwards.

What is that car, and could you make a video of it?

"Domain-verifications" is an invitation for everyone else that might need it to use the same standard and convention. "Discord-domain-verification" is not, it's what feels like polluting the global namespace with the company name that might cease to exist in a few years.

At the very least, it should be "domain-verification-discord", "-google" and so on. Maybe even "-com.discord", "-com.google"? And the first part clearly standardized and registered, instead of one entity using "domain" and another one "site".

No, in fact I don't. But this post wouldn't be of any help anyway. It feels like it's about nothing, there is no substance, just stating some obvious facts. Without examples that lead to some real recommendations, this whole expertise claimed by the author is of no use.

Wow, aren't you humble.

Are you sure the counter is not broken?

It looks like the developer was so hooked on the idea of making it minimalistic, he forgot to make it a language-learning app. So it's a blob with a backstory. Design with no substance.

Maybe you'll appreciate having it pointed out to you: you should work on your usage of "where" vs "were".

XD XD

For the JS developers: similar useful behavior (and more!) can be implemented in JS using the wonderful Effection library.

I was just asking to know your thought process, but this discussion probably won't lead to anything anyway — in my view a person's stance on vaccines, gay rights, what have you, doesn't make you any worse developer. If the technology is sound — which I can vibe-check (by a glimpse on how the code is maintained, documented etc.) — I have no reason to peek into one's private views. Your opinion is different, I still don't fully understand it, but we'll just have to agree to disagree.

> I am not sure I run a single piece of software where this is done.

And yet you run it. Have you vibe-checked every such software? Did that bring you enough information about individuals creating it? If not, if there are no readily available signs, have you vetted their own, private beliefs otherwise — in order to ensure they don't clash with your own?

What if Linus Torvalds turned out to be secretly a Nazi pedophile for the whole time? Would that make you stop using Linux?

False dychotomy — there are more options than "protecting anonymity" and "revealing identity so that credentials can be vetted". He just writes what he believes under his own name, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with establishing his authority.

"By design", for me, doesn't say that it can't be changed — maybe the design was wrong, after all. Would it be a major hurdle or create some problems if fixed today?

Can you share the link?

Aren't these bugs that could be "simply" reported and fixed? Or maybe those would get a label "not a bug" attached by the TS creators for some reason?
