Can’t you do split screen navigation via the home screen (Dashboard View)? At least on cars I’ve rented I could have navigation on one side and music on the other in CarPlay.

For anyone who wants to see clear examples of these defects from an inspectors point of view… For a while I was completely addicted to watching inspection videos of brand new homes where the inspector shows poor craftsmanship and sometimes even dangerous defects - the best in the genre IMO is Cy https://youtube.com/@cyfyhomeinspections?si=zldoP3BpzK6mUzDc check out his YT shorts. Example after example of terrible defects in brand new homes in Arizona

It reads to me as "sex man" but aside from that, looks useful!

This is cool. I could see myself downloading the articles behind the first couple pages of hacker news with this, for viewing on a flight or long distance train ride with spotty internet

Does this current approach succeed for many sites? I see that this repo was clearly vibe coded or at least heavily used AI to write it. That can be fine, it just makes it more difficult to follow how much was done already and how much is left to get this properly working. As for email verification, a stopgap solution could be to just tell me to click confirm on the emails and which senders to look out for. Properly reading the actual inbox on record across providers could be difficult, it requires an actual email client. Also, forgive me if I'm off base on this one, but your comment appears to be AI generated. If so, that violates site guidelines.

The mention of states is because (besides the author likely being located in the States) many of the opt out forms are US only and filter on US state. You could probably just use an uncommon state or territory like Guam and try it, it would still submit opt outs for matching records on sites that are international. For example https://www.familytreenow.com/optout is listed in the broker list, and that seems to work for international profiles.

Those sections don't really provide details on the author's motivations to be honest

I don’t see what’s unclear about that account deletion page to be honest. It reads clearly to me that the account has been deleted and if you want to use the same email again, you can create an entirely new account using the same email, but it doesn’t reactivate the account.

Ok, it's clear that I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.

Why so agressive? You're making a conclusion from a tenuous correlation. I upvoted TFA because I've been annoyed with my Apple keyboard and them not fixing it. Not becaue I saw some other post on window resizing. Judging by the other comments here a bunch of people are in the same boat. I've been complaining in my social circle about it and have partially switched to Android as a result.

I think so? It caused the same issue when I cross posted to Lobste.rs

Actually I've been informed otherwise, they crawl known links first according to this person:

> Unfortunately, based on what I'm seeing in my logs, I do need the bot detection. The crawlers that visit me, have a list of URLs to crawl, they do not immediately visit newly discovered URLs, so it would take a very, very long time to fill their queue. I don't want to give them that much time.

It's not clear that they are doing that. Web logs I've seen from other writing on this topic show them re-crawling the same pages at high rates, in addition to crawling new pages

How would the links be prioritized? If the bots goal is to crawl all content would they have prioritization built-in?

The follow on post explains:

> You don’t really need any bot detection: just linking to the garbage from your main website will do. Because each page links to five more garbage pages, the crawler’s queue will quickly fill up with an exponential amount of garbage until it has no time left to crawl your real site.

If you buy the book on Amazon, then the author gets some money, but if you don’t buy it, then they don’t. And it’s not like you have zero alternatives, you could also just buy the physical copy in most cases. So when you say you’re unable to buy the book that’s not truthful. No one is forcing you to steal their work, you have the option to just not read their work if your distribution preferences are so specific. And the distribution terms of the book are likely set by the publisher for many authors, especially smaller ones. I doubt most authors even know what DRM is.
