Yes, you can. Just edit your settings: { "features": { "edit_prediction_provider": "none" } }

I love how ProPublica does so many hard-hitting investigative reporting. One of my go-to regular donations.


You can never doubt that things can get a lot worse, no matter how bad they currently are. This is what we're finding out now.


I've always wanted workout tracking apps to take into respect how to track gymnastic rings, but no luck. So I decided to build my own: https://gravitygainsapp.com/


Also, Steve Witkoff was in Moscow during the Signal text chain.

Some of us are viewing this through the lens of the actual risk this could have caused to real American servicemen and women, and not just scoring points on television.

Like what is wrong with you that this is your reaction to something so serious?


Santos Dumont was 5'4", which althogh small, not out of the real of "normal" I don't think. Jules Verne was one inch taller. He was fairly skinny too, so the weight could have been a factor. I did find a video of it, fun to see as the Demoiselle is my favorite early flyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNWPpKEZzxg


The weight was definitely a factor.


No discovery of new music?


Best way to discover new music is friends, family, gigs, events, parties, social gatherings...


In the immortal words of every generation entering their middle age years (~30 years old and up):

"New music is shit. Kids these days have no taste."


New music as in "new to me" not "newly released".


Safari has always hampered PWAs, and probably for the reason that they want you to use the appstore instead ($$$).


It came out in the Epic trial that 90% of App Store revenue comes from games. Those aren’t going to be web apps anyway for monetization reasons.

If PWAs are so bad on iOS and great on Android, why do companies bother with writing Android apps, web apps for computers and iOS apps instead of just telling Android users to use the web apps?


Is Android dramatically better for PWAs?


There are fewer walls, yes.

Push notifications from PWAs are another area that is unnecessarily limited on iOS. They only work if the user has added your PWA to their home screen and Safari doesn't support the install prompts available in Chrome and similar.

So your users will need to go out of their way to add the PWA to their home screen and then they can receive silent push notifications because Apple says sound and vibrations are only allowed for native apps.


It’s a bit better but I’ve still not found any PWAs that I’d want to use over a native Android app, if only because they’re near-universally rough, quirky, and generally unpleasant in ways that modern Jetpack Compose apps aren’t.


You can still see the content, right? So it's just a label, it seems.


I'm not sure why it would be in their own interest to be the only ad blocker. What do they gain by not allowing other ad blockers?


It elevates them into the "main protagonist", and I'm not necessarily against that, I just don't want ads shoved down my throat.
