The scenario described in the OP does not involve commenting on a private video. It involves commenting on any public video, then the uploader clicks on a suggested prompt in YouTube Studio which supposedly processes the comment and creates a URL with the title of a different video.

Check out Scroll Reverser; it's a tiny, open source app that solves exactly this.

There are some other alternatives like BetterTouchTool if you want some other changes like gestures, but as far as this specific problem goes you can just `brew install scroll-reverser`, set up the settings you want and forget about it. Life is too short to deal with this nonsense which is clearly designed to sell the Magic Mouse.

> little do they know Ruby is a slower language than Go

Isn't it generally expected for a feature-packed interpreted language to be slower than a minimal compiled language?

`caffeinate` is primarily designed to prevent sleeping due to inactivity. It doesn't prevent sleeping due to lid closure while on battery.

`sudo pmset -b disablesleep 1` (0 to revert) works, although it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Not really. From my understanding, in AP, your account belongs to an instance and your data is then synced to other servers. If the instance goes down, your account is gone.

In ATP, your data is stored in the "Atmosphere", hosted on decentralized "Personal Data Servers" (PDS). The app then simply parses and filters that data. They can apply moderation actions by choosing not to display or read certain posts, but your data still exists and another app could choose to display it. Similarly, if the app goes down, your data is still perfectly intact in the Atmosphere.

It might then seem like the PDS is equivalent to an AP instance, but as mentioned, they are decentralized. Identity is verified through signatures, so if your PDS goes down, you can migrate to a new one as long as you have your signing keys. Therefore, the account belongs to you and not any specific server.

Ah, right. It would have to be `strings -n 1`, then.

The implication is that the random-looking data did not contain ASCII characters other than the parts of the flag

Wouldn't strings(1) have worked for this?

That would be expected for encodings or container file formats. Straight-up encryption like AES produces results that are visually indistinguishable from random data.

It works often enough for the company to be wildly successful. They can simply cut their losses and withdraw from industries where it hasn't, such as EVs.

Yeah, user edits/deletes are locked after 2 hours. You can email [email protected] to request an edit past the initial window.

Static linking packs the dependencies into the executable. This is basically dynamic vendoring.

Good to hear. What hypervisor are you using (UTM, VMWare, Parallels)?

A "free side" means being exposed on the left or right, matching your Wikipedia quote. On the other hand, OP's implementation checks if it can be moved up or down.

I quite like Shelter [1]. Shelter apps are installed in a separate work profile, which essentially sandboxes it from the rest of your data. It also has a neat feature to automatically disable (freeze) specific apps and seamlessly re-enable them when you launch them through Shelter.

What edition are you using? The home edition straight-up has pop-up ads[1] for random Xbox games, even on a clean install with all notification settings turned off.

Thanks for the clarification (and your work on Olauncher)! I knew I should have checked the source code before posting my comment. I don't think they need to be removed, but I would appreciate an option to disable them.

The launcher itself is also very clean and minimal, with a text-only UI. You can pin up to 8 apps to the home screen and the rest are accessible through search. You trigger search with a swipe, and when only a single matching app remains for your query, it automatically opens it, making it pretty efficient.

E.g., if you don't have Firefox pinned, you can swipe and type "fir" (or any other unique substring) and it will open just like that. It's great for muscle memory.

My only complaint with it is that the developer sometimes sends messages (e.g., happy new year) and there doesn't seem to be any way to disable it. I don't see why a minimal launcher should have internet access at all.

Yes, but Anthropic is specifically claiming their implementation is clean-room, while GNU never made that claim AFAIK.
