jooize··on I dumped Apple’s word list
giving fixing ducking

How do I make iOS let me swipe “fucking” everywhere? fucking

fucking fucking fucking!! After typing it manually two or three times it then swipe completes in this particular text field in this app. I've heard about adding a contact with the words, but that is ridiculous, so I have held out hoping Apple will eventually come to their senses, like a fool.

This doesn't make “fuck” swipeable either… unless I type it once, and keep it in the text field!

It's such a silly limitation. There are extensions, but they're all imperfect hacks.

That's usually said as Open Source Software (OSS) or longer acronyms that sound like dental care.
jooize··on Show HN: Sesame - a local-first, open-source password manager
While figuring out how to set up credential management for AI, I discovered 1Password CLI, and it terrifies me how it requires giving full account access for 10 minutes to the entire terminal! They seem to think the terminal environment should be treated the same as an app running with macOS protections, and that it's expected user experience to match how the GUI app operates. [1] I think that posture is wildly irresponsible, and that the 1Password GUI authorization dialog should specify and allow access only once to the items requested from CLI.

I don't understand why anyone would use LastPass. [2]

What integrations do you use? I can't really think of what I would miss on the Apple TV if I switched from iPhone. I rarely use AirPlay, disable Photos for in-house privacy reasons, and… oh yeah, the remote control for keyboard, volume, and navigation via iPhone is neat! I think the Apple TV is just a strong product on its own.

Have you explored Focus modes on iPhone? You could place a button for a Shortcut on the lock screen to toggle Focus modes that change which apps show on the Home screen, and which notifications to show (while the others go to Notification center). Could use the Action button or Back Tap to change Focus mode before even seeing the lock screen.

I wonder why XcodeGhost doesn't count as successful, widespread malware attack against iPhone. WeChat was infected. It was before iOS had pasteboard protections.

Push notifications in Safari just suck because the discoverability method is a dialogue box that interrupts and blocks all other user actions.

The browser should never let a website interrupt unless allowed by the user. Place a bell icon in the address bar and make it translucently balloon up when triggered for visibility.

Side note: Browser interface should stay outside the untrusted zone of web content. Whenever it can't, interface could have an unobtrusive unimitable background pattern extending from the trusted zone into the untrusted zone. The user should always know what is browser or website.

You can change the shortcut in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Keyboard > Move focus to next window.

Try also using “Move focus to active or next window”. I have that mapped to Option-Command-` (and implicitly Option-Shift-Command-` for reverse order).

jooize··on What Is the Signal Encryption Protocol?
I consider that argument unpragmatic. Any recipient can still be made in control of keeping messages they have received. Sender must assume that the message is unretractable, because recipient can record it with a capturing device. If there is zero trust, you must operate by that assumption. If there is non-zero trust there are practical benefits to enabling any party to request the deletion of messages. Whether each party will accept that request is a matter to consider by the sender. Deletion can be per-conversation or per-contact preference controlled to automate, disable entirely, or prompt.

The program can not guarantee deletion, but in practice that is not necessary for it to be useful.

jooize··on CLI Guidelines – A guide to help you write better command-line programs
Strongly disagree. Be consistent, avoid ambiguity, reduce risk of uncertainty. The convention has the feature of combining flags, but there's more. Making -flag and --flag equivalent means combining flags is not possible without potential collisions, and the distinction would become less obvious overall. Usage in practice would be split between -flag and --flag. Enable such inconsistency for what benefits?
jooize··on What Is the Signal Encryption Protocol?
I tried arguing for being able to delete messages from all parties of a conversation. [1] They were feature-averse back in 2014 for good reasons, but perhaps now they would consider implementing Delete Messages When Requested on a per-conversation basis.

Have you tried switching places with the snake? You may want to set up automation first as you could find the snake not pushing the light button reliably every morning.

Gradually dimming the bedroom light with a warm color temperature helps me get tired in the evening, and fading it in to a cold color temperature in the morning helps me wake up.
