Flutter-based. Runs on Android and iOS. Requires being sideloaded (but no jailbreak) on iOS. No background sync on iOS yet -- you have to open the app to sync. Doesn't appear to be any Apple Health integration (yet).

Can't wait to follow it's evolution. Looks really promising!

I have the opposite perspective. I primarily use Codex, but jump into Claude and Claude just feels dumber, generates worse code, and less productive.

I don't feel like Claude is awful or anything, just that Codex and it's models are significantly better.

This "esoteric" garbage is the catchphrase of white nationalists globally.

So it's about as esoteric as white nationalism is. For example, members of the current US administration know it/believe it.

The App Store listing is pretty clearly a scam and the app is clearly pretending to be my app

What leads you to make these allegations?

As far as I can tell, it is not pretending to be your app or claiming any affiliation. The app doesn't even do the same things your does. It's just named the same. It seems a pretty obvious app name.

They probably just came up with the name and didn't bother to Google for prior art. Do you have a trademark on the name? If so, that should squash it from the App Store. Otherwise, I think you're hosed.

That said, it's at best a pretty low quality app with atrocious in-app prices.

They acknowledge your project under the "Prior art" section of their README.md and the list is MIT licensed. Seems fine to me?

Great original idea, BTW. Wish I had known about your extension prior!

I'm equally confused why you think that claiming that being in favor of "open borders" being a common perspective wouldn't generate reactions from the type of people holding the views that you mischaracterize as that.

I'm having trouble grokking your statement, but "open borders" is not a pejorative. It's a belief that people, more or less, should be able to freely flow across borders and live where they like.

Again, I am speaking from a US perspective. It may carry different connotations in other countries. It's too prescriptive to apply the same immigration policies at a global level. There's too much nuance and geographical differences.

Depends on your specific needs. What are your needs and use cases?

The M4 Max has more GPU cores, but the maximum amount of memory you can get is only 64 GB.

The M5 Pro, on the other hand, is faster at single core, has fewer GPU cores, but can go up to 128 GB memory.

Rumors are that the Mac Studio is getting updated to M5 in Fall or Winter 2026, if you can wait.

This is essentially what the IoT Enterprise LTSC edition is.

Aside from that, there are various tools and deployment files to automate a stripped down Windows 11 installation.

I don't really use Windows except on my gaming PC, but I like winutil:

But there are better declarative tools out there that generate a stripped down installation. Despite it's reputation, Windows 11 is fairly modular for a commercial OS.

What makes Berntsson a fascist? What makes the Örebro Party fascist?

(I am a Mullvad user, but I am not Swedish, or familiar with Swedish politics, so I only have Wikipedia to go from.)

Almost all of the apps you mentioned sync data to, or access data from iCloud in the vast majority of use cases. I mention iCloud here because this submission is about iOS.

That said, I'd love to have a new "Internet access" permission for apps, so users had the choice. Perhaps even separate "Allow iCloud" and "Allow Internet" but that's probably too granular for Apple's taste.

This is why I think someone should market a cheap SIGINT tool that collects BT/BTLE/Wi-Fi data from nearby devices.

I've got this setup running on a Raspberry Pi near my front door and it collects all sorts of useful data, even from people walking by on the sidewalk, 30 feet and two walls away.

At some point, I'd love to explore vehicle emissions more, too.
