I’ve opened a Pull Request for this. They’re not perfect, but probably better than not having anything at all.

 
 

“We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says. If you are affected by the blocks, the company recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature. (NetBlocks reports that this feature lets Signal “remain usable” in Russia.)

Thanks :) pe1uca summed it up pretty nicely. I‘d add that you can get all your channelIds (which you need for the rss feeds) by exporting your YouTube subscriptions via google takeaway. You can take a look at what the rss feed gives you, it’s as pe1uca said the 15 most recent videos and sadly not all the info: duration e.g. is missing.

I’ve been on basically that exact same journey. I made a little iOS app that uses rss feeds and the iframe player to play videos: Unwatched for YouTube (just released it two weeks ago). It’s also open source, if you have any specific questions let me know.

Actual black for the pro phones?

[–] fer0n@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I agree. Similar to all the anti-competitive lawsuits Apple has to deal with regarding the App Store because they’re clinging to every last dollar they can squeeze out of it, their iMessage approach seems to be going a similar way.

I’m sure tons of people are buying iPhones because of iMessage, but it looks like that might be slowly eroding away. In the end, they’ll have lost both their relevance in the messaging area and a strong reason for people to buy iPhones. They should’ve just made an Android app for iMessage.

 

The achievement, announced in an official blog post, indicates a potential shift in the American messaging landscape, where WhatsApp has steadily gained ground despite the longstanding popularity of Apple's iMessage. The Meta-owned messaging app is extremely popular in Europe owing to its cross-platform compatibility.

 

NEW: Apple Intelligence will arrive later than anticipated, coming in iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 in October and missing the initial September releases. Still, 18.1 will go into beta for developers this week. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-28/apple-intelligence-to-miss-initial-release-of-upcoming-ios-18-ipados-overhauls?embedded-checkout=true

There’s definitely tons of issues surrounding LLMs: how they’re created, what they spit out, and the impact they have. But there’s also use cases that go beyond grammar check imo, but everyone can figure that out for themselves.

I‘ve mostly given up on complaining about "AI" as a description, that’s just what we’re calling it now even though it never made any sense.

Think of it what you will, compared to crypto there’s actually value that people are getting from LLMs. Even with its current shortcomings.

I think that was in one of his videos, but just because it got teased doesn’t make it any better. It’s not like no one will notice just because you’re not talking about it, all it does is keep people wondering if that’s the end, which is a lot worse than just knowing that it is.

That’s awesome news, thanks :)

Smooth scrolling? (lemmy.world)

It’s great how mlem keeps evolving and there’s some incredible work being done here, thanks :)

There‘s sadly one deal breaker for me: mlem doesn’t scroll smoothly.

It may seem like it’s not a big deal, but for an app that’s showing a feed and where 90% of the time I’m scrolling, it ruins the experience for me. Is there anything that can be done on that front? Or maybe I’m the only one who feels that way.

Again, thanks for your hard work :)

 

The ChatGPT app for Mac is now available to all users, OpenAI announced today. The app first came out in mid-May, but it saw a slow rollout that was limited to ChatGPT Plus subscribers until now.

 

In Mark Gurman's latest report he claims Apple is "considering" making the upcoming non-Pro Vision headset "reliant on a tethered Mac or iPhone". […] But at closer inspection, there are a number of reasons this probably couldn't work, and it's simply a bad idea even if it could. […]

The real issue is that devices without a cooling fan like smartphones cannot sustain their peak performance for more than a few dozen minutes at the absolute most. […]

Even if this problem could be magically solved by some future cooling system, an iPhone's battery is three times smaller than the battery attached to Apple Vision Pro, which weighs almost twice as much as an iPhone.

In an ideal world, Apple intelligence will take care of this. But it’ll probably just highlight more important notifications while everything else is still there a swipe away.

Force them (including myself) to implement dark mode, and soon dark app icons.

 

With Apple Vision Pro however, temperature doesn't seem to be the only factor in fan speeds. According to Max Thomas (aka Shiny Quagsire), the main developer of the visionOS port of the SteamVR streaming tool ALVR, the headset also sets the maximum fan speed based on how loud the fans are, measured with the headset's microphone array.

The idea is presumably that in louder environments, those with more ambient noise, the fans will be harder to hear. So the overall goal of ensuring you rarely hear any fans can be maintained while maximizing performance.

This all leads to the bizarre conclusion that Apple Vision Pro should perform better in noisy environments […].

 

Due to the regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act, we do not believe that we will be able to roll out three of these [new] features -- iPhone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements, and Apple Intelligence -- to our EU users this year.

 

Are you using the VP enough to still justify the price tag?

What upgrades/changes would a 2. gen need for you to consider getting it?
