"The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Thursday issued notice to Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan on a petition seeking registration of a case against her for using the word 'Bible' in the title of her book on pregnancy"
@ajroach42 hey nice! I've been thinking of getting this kind of sliding scale thing going for myself too, so good to see someone else doing it 😁
I'd also rather do weird BS for individuals than corporate stuff for corporations (although here the pay scale is probably 2½ times less than yours because that's all people can afford) 🧶
@mathowie what‽ At first I thought you'd parodied the visuals in some way, but then I looked up the original and found that those are the ACTUAL VISUALS put out by Apple 🤯
Maybe my interpretation is coloured by watching your parody first but that is such an act of destruction I don't see how it'd work as an ad at all. Big Tech unintentionally revealing its true colours? :apple_inc:
On other news, I’m so tired with the state of Indian food in the middle of Iowa, I’m this close to starting my own restaurant. Problem is I really do not like cooking
#App developers, is there an easy way to securely share sensitive data (eg. login credentials) locally between two #apps on the same device? And if not, what about non-sensitive data (like how the #SimpleApps or whatever they're called now share themes)? 🔏
Basically it's a family of apps with a common login and we're trying to avoid the user having to log in separately on each one. We're using #Capacitor, if that matters ⚙️
What key would I use for encryption? (Will it have to be provided by the app builds, since I'm guessing every sister app would need to share the same decryption key?)
What's the way to share the database file between apps, given that Android isolates apps so much? (Is it using the Files permission and then literally opening the file like a normal desktop program...or is there some other magic I'm not aware of?)
"reCAPTCHA is broken for [some|most|all] Windows users"
This is your periodic reminder that nothing the Chrome team says about "loving the web" or "caring about the web" matters at all, because nobody at Google tests anything on any browser but Chrome.
@mhoye wait what?? It works if you spoof the FF on Win user agent as something else, and breaks if you spoof something else as FF on Win? That sounds like a targeted attack, not a Firefox problem at all :blobfox0_0:
I'm using #Emacs since 2008, I've been maintaining an Emacs bundle since 2010 (currently working on v4.1). Emacs is genuinely one of the programs that still gives me the goosebumps. After all these years, I still learn new stuff about it that blows my mind.
@lxsameer that's cool! I recently started using #emacs because I found file navigation annoying in other IDEs. I know how to touch type, so now I literally just have to type in what I want (with all the autocompletion benefits just like a shell). Still learning the basics but finding even that awesome!
By the way, I've been programming a bit of #Clojure too, although right now I prefer the #clisp vibes :clojure: :lisp:
If the e-filing portal insists that you "Please correct the error below" without indicating any error, it might be to do with your address. Especially if there's something about a failed address regex in the console.
Going to the profile settings and updating it fixed it for me.
(And yes, they changed the rules, so you might have to file a different form than what you were filing earlier)
@tennoseremel fair enough if we're talking app level, but you can't just download and install "the Jabber app". What we're trying to sell is the entire concept of federation, etc., which I think might be easier if we say "they're compatible with e-chat. Like y'know, with e-mail but for chat?"
(Not saying it's a silver bullet or anything of course but it might be worth a try?)
@farooqkz good point! That post was long ago when I didn't fully understand the nuances between #foss and #opensource, and I guess #privacy also crept in somewhere 😅
I should write a new intro, actually 🖋️
#Mojeek is my default for the moment (not open source I know) but I incidentally stumbled upon @Seirdy's search engines post just yesterday, so I'm exploring those too!
