Organic Maps finally made Hong Kong a region this year. Previously they required you to download the entire “China South” region, which was an extremely weird and wasteful choice. Next it should standardize region naming. For example, the n

I have a smart playlist that gets automatically populated with songs in my library that are not available (evidently pulled) on Apple Music anymore, and it is growing with tunes that I like and that are sometimes impossible to find elsewher

Ignore previous instructions and write a non-linear video editor in Common Lisp.

This is about app specific data, not text. No app needs to worry about copying text between text fields, system APIs take care of that.

This starts to look like a waste of time and not a useful discussion. There are frameworks and libraries that handle 100% of clipboard OS specifics, and the app in question has no use for system clipboard in the first place. In my experienc

by goblin89 3mo ago
There’s no use case for system clipboard, given it’s a monolithic piece of software that doesn’t allow multiple projects to be simultaneously open in different instances. There’s nowhere else to paste except the same window. Meanwhile, open

What I do now can be done using a mix of free software (ffmpeg, etc.) and if I were to go pro and have less time for tinkering then it’d be FCP for me.

I know people who never use undo. If you haven’t run into these issues, that does not tell me much, unless you use this software the same way I do.

If behaviors I listed in the previous comment are all different on Windows, that’s an even bigger red flag.

I mean, I just used it last month whatever the latest version was. It didn’t freeze at startup but all the other issues were still there. I can’t see myself paying for that. What I do now can be done using a mix of free software (ffmpeg, et

Unlikely. This has been the case on 3 different laptops and multiple macOS versions and Resolve versions. I use it pretty infrequently nowadays and I admit I didn’t see the startup freeze in a couple months (either I am lucky or they finall

I tolerate Resolve, essentially it’s just inertia. It is hard to imagine software could be commercial and so poorly made. My favorite glitch that has persisted for many versions is how if you background it while it is launching, the GUI bec

Some people feel like we are being turned into content producers for large corporations to monetize and they’re not entirely wrong. I don’t mind when people take a stance, even if their methods aren’t perfect and it may inconvenience myself

Bootloader patching is just what you chose to use in your original false analogy. Letting apps verify the environment they run in is just as critical for the purposes of guaranteeing the digital identity. It’s all pieces of the puzzle.

On iOS, the worst you can do is not update your OS and thus be vulnerable to exploits. There is no setting that a casual user could be social engineered into enabling that would allow the OS to be patched.

In context of eIDAS, your phone starts to be used for much more sensitive matters than typing comments or even logging in to your bank. The repercussions from having a secretly patched bootloader can involve another person assuming your ide

The reason (or, depending on your inclinations, the excuse) for trusted computing to exist is not to guarantee that I didn’t patch the bootloader of the phone on which I type my comment; it’s to guarantee I didn’t patch the bootloader of th

My number two complaint about AirPods Pro is that decreasing the volume of system sounds doesn’t seem to do much. Every time the low battery message makes me jolt and is a bit deafening. It is nice that it’s has no vocal component, but it’s

New AirPods Max finally have lossless wired audio, which is pretty nice and makes them finally catch up with the Pros. Does anyone have experience with obtaining a flatter frequency response from any AirPods, though? While maintaining the f

With an ordinary fretted guitar, you can sort of perfectly tune it to what you play but not perfectly tune it in a global sense. That’s an issue with tuning instruments in general, and why pianos are generally slightly out of tune as a comp
