Looks nice! Reminds me of a similar program (a bbs door, really) named ‘yogurt’ by @sedatk — I remember using it to improve my fast-typing around 2002-2003. This brings back memories :)

Thanks!

1. I’ll give you one guess why that is.

2. It is possible, and you better believe it. They haven’t updated it, because there is no need for it.

Signal is simply not interested in your messages. It’s also not interested in your metadata, because it’s not an ad platform or a SIGINT front masquerading as a free messaging service.

If all this sounds hard to believe, you should donate.

This threat is not about messages.

Even 15% would probably have been universally accepted.

Useful as a for-profit cryptocurrency? I think zero chance.

The only way I see anything like that incorporated is a folding@home kind of thing that could help humanity as a whole.

Of course, if someone makes it work like you suggested, and it catches on, I will personally haunt your dreams forever. Don't give them any ideas.

To me it’s just another decision rooted in greed, to take away more Agency from the User Agent.

I think you mean that he is mainly a linguist.

I think he's saying that he should stick to his lane.

About as accurate as Google Search AI.

I have always denied Instagram access to my camera, microphone, photos, and location, on top of disabling background refresh. Sometimes, upon switching to the app, I get this screen: https://i.imgur.com/Sj8Dikg.png

This has always struck me as odd, because it means the app would have started both the camera and microphone if it had permissions, without me clicking the right buttons to get to it.

I'm too lazy right now to see if I can trigger the screen, and whether iOS would show the microphone/camera activity icons, but maybe there's a bug that's actively being exploited by Meta. I don't know how active the microphone stays if it has permissions, but I wouldn't put it past them to send all the data captured by the sensors even if I'm not posting a story. They did it with "status updates" on Facebook back then, when they gathered the data even if I deleted whatever I wrote without posting.

Depending on the flavour of the linguist, they could say "as long as the correct meaning is conveyed, go wild" :)

> I'm still waiting for the damn iPhone to be the gaming platform they promised over a decade ago.

They have a different definition of gaming than we do. The games they're interested in are the ones with in-app purchases.

Except the design department, "good enough" is their motto for everything. "iPhone is the most popular gaming device" and "iPhone is the most popular camera" are two technically correct statements that don't sit right with me, but that's just me.

> The games they're interested in are the ones with in-app purchases.

Apple literally pays developers of mobile games an up front premium to strip out all the Skinner Box nonsense and create an Apple Arcade version of their app.

So that they can sell a service?
