https://www.liquidtext.net/ is unique in its feature set and use of gestures and stylus. It’s definitely worth trying.

“…but the iPad doesn’t want me” is exactly it; I used iPad from the very first one - that chunky, hard-edged aluminum and glass slate, and remained a heavy user up until a few years ago. For half a decade, the iPad was my only computer on t

I expected more comments on the source’s biases, given the contentious and sensitive topic; journalist Liel Leibovitz writes this about +972 Magazine (1): > Underlining everything +972 does is a dedication to promoting a progressive worl

H.G. Wells and C.S. Lewis intersect in more ways than one; in Out of the Silent Planet, one of the characters references Wells's The First Men in the Moon (1900), and the plot of the two parallel each other when the inhabitants of Mars

Efficient VMs on iPhone would be great. I experimented with sideloading Jitterbug (1) and using it to launch qemu, but the process currently requires a second device or setting up a VPN - in practice it was annoying. I just want/need a

I know the US Intelligence Community is more than the CIA, but it's been fascinating to read in CIA-veteran Douglas London's "The Recruiter" about how the CIA marketed its "seductive" covert action capabilities

I connect and disconnect my iPhone often, so I prefer Gnome's default file manager Nautilus with gvfs-afc and or gvfs-gphoto2 (1). My devices show up when I plug them in and I can see all my apps that expose storage in Apple's Fil

This reminds me of Louis Rossman’s long-term use review of his Framework 13 (1); he was hard on it and killed some of the ports, but thanks to them being swappable, was able to just slot a new one in. 1: https://www.youtube.com&#

Apple Pay can be a godsend here. I’ve used it where none of my other cards would work (1). 1: for example, topping up the balance for my cellular service with a European carrier.

Growing up we had a dog, and once our dog went after a big moose in the yard. The moose turned and tore after our dog, who stumbled or fell over himself in terror - the moose was running so fast that it jumped over our dog, who was unharmed

A moose once came to our front door and stuck his head in, on my birthday to boot. Never had that happen! He was super chill, too. But when he started pushing in, me and my dad had to lean on the door. But I doubt we’d have been able to sto

I see comments about moose, so I’ll add that I like them and think they’re beautiful animals. I’ve stood and watched them for minutes on end. But depending on the time of year and that particular moose, they can be aggressive, just like any

I wonder if we’ll ever get something like ‘AI-recursion’, where you get an AI to apply specific transformations to data which is then used to train on, sort of like machines making better machines. E.g. take some data A, and then have a mod

There was a lifted pickup truck that was stuck behind me on my road a couple times in the evening. Absolutely blinding headlights: my car was sharply outlined by their beams, which went on to light up the road far brighter than my brights e

I tried File's SMB support but found that larger (100+ MB) transfers fail for no apparent reason (1). Third-party apps' SMB support is much better - I had success with Readdle's Documents, Goodreader, and most recently FileBr

A question that interests me more is: has anyone used the transliteration of the Elvish “Speak friend and enter” (1) as a password? That is, “pedo mellon a minno”. I actually wrote out that line in my journal with a calligraphy pen, copying

The smoothness is night and day for me; seconds after picking up a ballpoint pen I want to reach for my FP, because with ballpoints you have to apply pressure, and even then the flow doesn’t match a fountain pen.

I’ve used Leuchtturm1917 (1) notebooks for the past couple years and recommend them. They have nice paper and an array of sizes and grid patterns - my current notebook is their larger master size; big enough to draw in, which is important t

Stains add a whole layer of history to a document - I remember a prof at uni once apologizing for the wine stains on our papers... In the same vein as stains, I love how non-waterproof inks react with water; the organic smudges and splotche

Nearly every Ukrainian understands Russian, but many Russians would only understand the gist of what Ukrainians are saying, because the languages only share about 60% of their vocabulary. A lot of common, everyday words differ in Ukrainian

I considered the Hisense but talked myself out of it because of Android and lack of updates. Part of me thinks I should just go for it, because I read a lot on my smartphone and miss Android’s Moon+ Reader - with Goldendict for Startdict&#x

I also have a small iPhone, but have had the opposite experience; text looks great thanks to the quality and resolution of the display and I far prefer it to my laptop for reading, with the exception of PDFs (my iPad was great for those).
