Am I the only one who thinks that instead of shutting off life-saving air conditioning during a heat wave, the solution should be to reduce NON-ESSENTIAL loads so people can cool their homes?
Why is the recommendation always to reduce heating/cooling (making it MORE DANGEROUS in the event of a blackout) and never to shut down, say, industrial machinery? Or data centers that host frivolous applications?
Version 6.0 is finally here, meatbags! This major update includes an all-new look, plus cute robot gardeners, a bunch of new layout options, weather news from AccuWeather, a “yesterday’s temperature” popup, iPad/Mac layout improvements, and so much more. https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id961390574
This particular website's paywall also blocks non-subscribers from going to their privacy policy and careers pages. Surely that's illegal? Who do you even report that to?
@Cdespinosa@pixel The plot thickens. “I bought this item at a charity auction during my trip to Munic at Christmas 2001. As you can see, the invoice is expressed in the old German currency, before the entry of the EURO.”
I think there’s a chance this story might be true — and this is a bamboozlee, not the original bamboozler.
@cabel@Cdespinosa@pixel@map Funny how the previous page you can see in the binder has the 1992 Barcelona Olympics logo… on what looks like brand new paper
@andrewt you clearly don’t understand. The entire room he’s in is his virtual metaverse house. Don’t you make fun of his virtual 2D screen, he spent years watching ads to earn enough metacoin to afford one that big.
My grandmother passed away today. I feel so privileged to have known her, and for my children – her great-grandchildren! – to have known her too. 98 is a fantastic age, and I’ll always remember her love and kindness ❤️
@lickability I‘ve only barely used the app but I think I really like “delete” here.
“Discard draft” or whatever would make it feel like you’re writing something ephemeral like a social media post that doesn’t really “exist” until you finish it.
“Delete” reassures that what you’ve written is permanent unless you actively delete it. That is, it’s continually saving everything as you write, and the entry is kept even if you swipe to dismiss the compose sheet.
I occasionally get request-to-follow notices even though I’ve got permissions set so anyone on Mastodon can follow me. Sometimes the people who want to follow are clearly spammers or worse (and have been hidden by administrators) - but sometimes their posts are just innocuous. In the latter cases, there’s nothing obvious as to why they can’t just follow me.
Doesn’t even matter if you, the developer, meet the 1M download threshold or distribute your app via the web at all. The fact that web based sideloading exists will enable scammers to put up fake sites claiming to offer your app for download, with a fake download flow that installs a malicious configuration profile, or a phishing PWA that pretends to be your app.
This has always been the reality on Windows. It’s why most windows users stick to a few cloud services instead of buying apps.
Do you ever block your users from being able to paste into a text field?
Why?
Do you need this ability for a good reason? What’s that reason?
Or, as a user, would you like to see it go away? Perhaps you encounter sites that prevent you from pasting your super complex password from your password manager into a password field, and wonder why they can do so?
What might be the downside of removing support of disallowing pasting from the web?
@jensimmons As a user, websites shouldn’t be able to block me from using any functionality of a device I paid for and own.
As a developer, I’m constantly dismayed that other developers (well, managers usually) don’t believe that.
I do worry that if the ability to block paste is removed, some sites might try to achieve the same thing in even more user-hostile ways, like dropping standard <input> fields in favor of their own custom implementation that listens for keystrokes.
We’ve noticed this SwiftUI issue across a few different projects. Our solution usually involves introspecting and delaysContentTouches, but we’re always looking for a better way. 🧐
@lickability The app I'm working on has a List in each TabView tab, and right now each one behaves differently with regards to this issue 🤦♂️
One does the delayed highlighting shown in that tweet, one doesn't highlight at all, and one shows the highlight after you come back to it from a navigation pop and gets stuck highlighted.
(the first currently contains predefined views, second is a ForEach over a @ FetchRequest property, third is a ForEach over an array in an Observable class)
