Lmao, the part about the control center feeling like from a bootleg phone made my day. I felt like something was off the whole time but couldn’t tell what was bothering me

Yeah and I can’t get my head around why it won’t be available here in the EU. This is so fucking stupid! Like how is the DMA or any other legislation supposed to prevent them from implementing iPhone mirroring? They literally offer every other continuity-related feature over here. This is just Apple being upset they’re actually being regulated in the EU.

Now I get your point. Technically, I think it could be possible to only include the changes in Chrome. It would make sense for Google to push the changes all the way down to Chromium, though, as this would eliminate ad blockers on many competing browsers as well. Judging based on the past I would say this is what’s gonna happen

I guess so. I don’t get your second point however. Chromium is as independent from Google/Chrome as your banking app from your bank account.

If this happens I’ll consider switching back to a Linux machine next time a hardware upgrade is due.

Hope there are some rapid developments in non-Apple ARM Chips by then :')

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way…

Thanks for sharing, actually this very project inspired me to do it myself. It is an incredible resource when it comes to certain aspects of the database format!

Imho it has some deeper architectural issues though which I wanted to avoid in my implementation. I’m also using an entirely different tech stack I wanted to train myself in.

My implementation is not as feature complete as osxphotos but I’m sure I will be able to contribute back to the project with the occasional bug fix.

I reverse engineered the Apple Photos library file on my Mac as a side project and can confirm that hidden assets are not actually encrypted or otherwise protected. The respective assets are just not shown in the apps and can be accessed via Finder on macOS.

I didn’t know they were visible when you connect your phone to your PC but I guess it makes sense.

It’s not an Apple fanboy but imo it’s a lot more transparent on their side. There’s a switch for each and every service to use iCloud or not in the settings. Services don’t just re-enable their usage of iCloud after some random update and most importantly, they don’t just re-install apps you previously deleted. Or bloatware.

Thanks for sharing! Do you know if it can show/hide icons based on screen size? I used to only hide my icons when I’m not connected to a larger screen with Bartender.

Maybe that’s because of your extremely niche hardware vendor not providing appropriate drivers for their hardware?! Honestly, I read your salty comments under this post and your kind of attitude really pisses me off. Don’t like the experience? Totally fine, don’t use Linux and move on. Linux, for the most part, is FOSS software so feel free to contribute to it instead of complaining about things being broken. Linux is also free in terms of cost. So quite frankly, the developers of your distribution of choice owe you nothing.

Multiple tasks in one request! 🙏🏻

Thanks, I was wondering where this directory comes from for a while now!

I don’t see any need for BlueSky at all when there already is a great network in the form of Mastodon. I mean all (most) of the ideas you mentioned apply one-to-one to Mastodon as well. To me they have very similar ideas.

PowerShell: right clicks and selects run as administrator, loses previous session

That article basically says nothing

I don’t think so. If you’re comfortable with coding you might be able to reverse engineer the macOS app’s database. I did so with the Photos app in order to batch export my photos.

Edit: Deleted because I mixed up two different products lol.

I still think they could make federation an opt-in preference though.

I hope they don’t remove support for in-app Safari as well… Imagine you click on a link in, let’s say, lemmy and it always opens in your default browser… At first I was hyped they’re finally forced to comply with European law, but now I can already tell the enshittification is incoming.
