You're right that to deploy an app to Apple's app store you have to pay them. The $100/yr access ransom is unavoidable if you want to have the option of making money there. But I've gone to great lengths to avoid the re

I don't particularly care about Android Auto (I generally prefer standard bluetooth for audio, and directly setting the phone up for navigation), but if a manufacturer supports CarPlay and not Android Auto, they can get lost. I hate h

Gee, I sure hope pump 6 never fails.

Right. Exactly. I'd be a fool to refuse that first free hit of heroin.

I'm probably in the minority, but I do not want a "connection" with a business. I want transactional interactions that actually work. That is something that AI is not giving us today. By design. Companies are not switching

Yes, but the Awful registration fee is more like a speedbump to make banned behavior at least a little expensive to the offending users. Most of the revenue comes from completely optional aesthetic purchases: avatars, avatars _for others_,

I really like the idea. But my one attempt was disappointing. "playful energetic urban fantasy at night" ended up set to "very slow" by default. I would really like to be able to run this on my phone. Use my Brilliant

That appears to be more than a centimeter thick, and not particularly flexible. It's more like ski goggles than a sleep mask. So yeah, a product exists that claims to be a sleep mask with these features. Maybe someone could even slee

This smells like bullshit to me, although I am admittedly not experienced with Claude. I find it difficult to believe that a sleep mask exists with the features listed: "EEG brain monitoring, electrical muscle stimulation around the ey

This "game" sounds horrible. It seems designed to maximize anxiety and conflict, and extract kompromat. What is the upside supposed to be?

I've been mostly happy with Action launcher. It has the few features I really liked from Nova that are missing from pixel launcher: I can make my home screens scroll in a circular/infinite manner, I can remove the search bar and

Oh good. Now the documentation will be written by The Machine That Lies to You. Wonderful. What could possibly go wrong?

Could you explain why? I have been interested, in theory, in Kotlin Multiplatform. But I'm already very comfortable in Dart and Flutter. I have decades of experience with Java, Javascript, and quite a few years with Typescript. Kot

Maybe Windows, I haven't used it in a long time. But I have noticed my son's MacBook pro (used to be my work laptop) only pretends to be available after "waking". It'll repeatedly fail to actually take input in th

Every single YouTube video does this right now. They are all incredibly slow and take forever to get to the point (if there even is one). I have heard this is because there's a magic duration number for monetization.

Neither "wanting to be liked" or "wanting to avoid being disliked" rings true to me, at least as applied to my own social anxiety. I want to avoid being thought of at all. The idea of being liked is just as anxiety-pro

I looked at several yesterday. I landed on Action Launcher because it has a scrollable dock and infinite scrolling homepages. It lacks tabs in the app drawer, but it does let you create folders there. Hyperion seemed to have all necessary

I don't watch Youtube, but my young kid loves to watch screaming Minecraft morons pretend to scare themselves. I've been growing increasingly concerned by the ads he's incidentally seeing and was just yesterday looking at gi

"it mostly worked" is just a more nuanced way of saying "it didn't work". Apparently the author did eventually get something working, but it is false to say that the LLMs produced a working project.

Perhaps this is a good analogy, in which case I'd prefer they stop advertising it as a better/faster/cheaper bird. Speaking as a metaphorical bird, it clearly cannot do well what I do. It does do it poorly at a remarkable s

Would this theoretically allow a Flutter app developer to build and deploy an ios app from Linux? God, I hope so.

I love Dart and Flutter, it's my go-to when starting a new app idea. I want to learn Kotlin, but something about it just keeps me bouncing right off. It's ugly to me. It does not look like a serious language. I know that it IS,

My 2017 Mazda cx5 refuses to not play the radio. There is no "off" for the audio, you have to choose a source. I use my phone, via bluetooth. But sometimes, for unknown reasons, the car does not connect with the phone. It then

I'm all for having a cheap, high quality alternative to light a fire under the incumbents' asses, but I'm a little paranoid about the potential security aspect. Are these cars network connected? Do they have cameras/mic

What a horrible way of looking at the world. Not everything needs to be a competition. Sure, do what you get paid for or care about intentionally, but framing it as being in the "top x%" is just so off-putting. I don't want

I hope that this is eventually applicable to wearable systems. A small face-observing camera under the brim of a hat or something. Voice is a terrible interface, but a decent input method for natural language inputs. Removing/reducin
