He’s talking about unnatural (non-idiomatic) language. That’s not an issue you can fix with better grammar; there are many language learners who possess good intonation and pronunciation, and natural (idiomatic) speech, but poor grammar: th

I’d guess yt-dlp (1) + cookies from your browser or Google username and password. You can run yt-dlp on iPhone in a-Shell (2). a-Shell supports Apple Shortcuts, so you could, for example, make a shortcut that runs ‘ yt-dlp -x -f bestaudio -

A knife scares me far more than a gun up close, as a sharp knife causes massive damage to tissue and internal organs, while many are shot by pistols and live.

Oh, good point. In my first screenshot, the iPhone shows up twice in the leftmost list - the first with your apps and the second with photos from camera roll. I wouldn't use Nautilus to import photos, though - I'd use something l

The crazy thing is how well libimobiledevice + AFC (1) work on Linux. All I do is plug in my iPhone and open Nautilus (2) to see a list of my apps (3) that support file sharing. The phone shows up as a camera with photos, as well. 1: https

I had the same experience, loved my AirPods but the Pros never fit well and the left side would fall out, returned within the 14-day return period. The 2nd gen AirPods have a better UI, too: wearing mittens, with a hat over the AirPods, I c

Another option is to set up a couple WireGuard peers on a VPS and send the config(s) over Signal or other secure means to Russian friends and or acquaintances. Pluses: much faster than TOR.

As far as Polish films, highly recommend 1982’s “Znachor” (1). Quoting IMDB: “Abandoned by his wife and daughter, a famous surgeon starts drinking, hurts his head and loses his memory. His medical knowledge gradually resurfaces and he becom

To be fair, ordering a battery from AliExpress and opening a device to replace the battery is usually very doable. I have an old Kindle and a USB DAC whose batteries I replaced and they are going strong.

In case you still use the keyboard, you may be able to solve the wakeup issue by preventing the wakeup in /proc/acpi/wakeup - see (1). When I used a Surface Go 2, this was how I prevented the keyboard case from waking it up a

There's matrix-docker-ansible-deploy (1), an Ansible Playbook that makes setting up a Matrix homeserver and bridges easier. But it's still a pain, like you said. I ran one for a while (with bridges for Skype, Instagram DM, etc), b

I used a Nokia 2720 running KaiOS. It has a Google Maps webapp installed that works well enough - it's not blazing fast, but lets you search with voice or T9 input. It was enough for me. No Signal or Spotify, but you can transfer songs

To tag on, based on my experience in Eastern Europe, users that do need dual-language key caps will buy a set of stickers for their keyboard. Or as you said, they don’t need to see the keys - I type in Russian and Ukrainian and don’t need t

This looks great. I left my Pixel 2 for a Nokia flip phone running KaiOS for half of 2021, but the OS was underwhelming, with broken WebDav syncing that required me to manually import contacts and forgo my calendar. I then upgraded to an iP

Siri is great for setting timers, making calls, and changing the volume when my hands are busy. The biggest “WTF” moment was when I was using Siri in Russian, and told it to “lower the volume” (as I’d done hundreds of times in English). It
