it doesn't need to be tight. I have it similar tightness to a watch. I don't really notice it. it is supposed to be waterproof, but I haven't really put that to the test.
No, the Internet Archive is an organization that runs a web archive at archive.org while archive.is is an alternative domain for archive.today, a competing web archive run by an individual.
I must admit, one of my favorite recent-ish Android[1] features is that all text is made selectable in the app switcher using on-device OCR. Regardless of the app[2], you can just swipe up and start selecting text.
[1] ...at least on the Google Pixel.
[2] ...unless it's a banking app and it blocks permissions for screenshots and similar things.
Blocking screenshots for certain apps has been like "someone drowned in a lake -> block access to the lake".
The only thing it helps in is helping banks close the tickets when you inform them of a bug and they ask for screenshots and you tell them you can't because their app doesn't allow it, so "… closing this ticket since we received no further input from the customer. Please feel free to reply if you need anything else."
They never tell me to take a photo from another app and I never volunteer to do that because if they reply like this I know they are not going to work on the bug.
It's another case of "I am the legitimate owner of this phone and authenticated into this app, and yet you still want to block me from using it?" modern problem.
On iOS you can create a shortcut to push a screenshot through the built in OCR and copy to clipboard. You need to crop beforehand if you don’t want all the text on the screen.
On recent iOS versions it just happens. You try to click on an image in the browser to save it and whoops! you're clicking on text in the image that iOS already OCRed for you. And the Photos app will let you search for OCRed text, and it OCRs _all_ the text without you having to lift a finger.
Yes, I just wanted to reply the same thing. It's a great feature for these use cases (albeit, I too would like to see more universal or friendlier approach to text-selectability in apps).
Additionally, the text copied in this manner can be instantly opened in Clipboard editor (at least on Google Pixel), and when selected again there, it offers even more contextual options, such as translate in one of your installed apps (like Deepl).
That way, you can translate the "non-selectable" text in a very few short taps.

Yeah those can fuck all the way off. I'm lucky I have two phones so I can take a photo of my screen and use it for OCR or whatever, but it's ridiculous I have to do that.
I understand that for security purposes they don't want to let you take a screenshot in case of a man in the middle or whatever, but let me risk it. Warn me or something, but let me do it.
Absolutely in the same boat except some crappy apps won't run on rooted devices anymore (to the point I have a special garbage phone that's stock and it has revolut and k&h so far) so there's literally no escape.
Revolut works fine as long as you're happy to follow the cat-and-mouse game. Use the Hide My Apps LSPosed module along with TrickyStore and a valid keybox and you're gucci. Problem is, this setup needs almost constant maintenance.
OR, if you want to partake in shady shenanigans, there's always the official LSPosed internal testing. Forgive me for this Telegram link but it's the best option to share this: https://t.me/RootDetected/138/510
This is also my new favorite Android feature. It also enables translation. It even works for non-left-to-right languages, e.g. vertically written Japanese. The only downside is its tendency to immediately search for whatever you've selected, dumping all sorts of nonsense into my search history.
I do like when an accessibility feature is a hammer one can use against web designers who've disabled other features. The next one I want is "zoom non-zoomable web pages and apps".
Same for iOS, just not immediately possible. In iOS the new screenshot UI makes it a little easier, before it would need at least 3 taps and a couple of seconds to make it selectable
Agree, I’m constantly taking screenshots of crazy URLs in Zoom meetings. Just a quick screenshot, and click.
Furthermore, the number of apps that make text unelectable is mind-boggling. It’s crazy to me that my common workflow now for selecting text out of an app is just a screenshot it and select right out of the image. It just always works, perfectly.
This includes not just images, but text which is part of the app's UI, and not otherwise selectable, right? If so, that is pretty funny. Running advanced machine learning models to extract the data that we already have (but won't let the user access normally).
Have you tried Google's Gemma-3n-E4B-IT in their AI Edge Gallery app? It's the first local model that's really blown me away with its power-to-speed ratio on a mobile device.
Host an event! My friends and I host a "project night" every Thursday where we invite people to bring whatever personal projects[1] they're working on, and we strongly encourage plus-ones. As long as you have a venue (we started in a bar about 45 minutes west of Boston) and know at least one or two other people who are willing to consistently show up every week and you all put the work into inviting new people that you like and encouraging the people you like to invite new people that they like, the momentum will build on itself such that you'll inevitably find yourself with a thriving community, undoubtedly meeting at least one or two totally new people (on average) every week!
[1] Projects have included: crocheting a bunch of adorable little stuffed cows, developing a privacy-first webapp for visualizing social graphs, painting the cosmos with oil on a wall-sized canvas, engineering the control system for a human-scale vending machine, building an automatic water turret which uses image recognition to shoot squirrels with water when they climb on a bird feeder, planning and beta testing LARPs, board games, social experiments, and so on and so forth.
For what it's worth, I think Kimi's modified MIT license still meets the OSI definition of "open source." For example, the explicitly OSI-approved "Attribute Assurance License"[1] contains similar wording:
> each time the resulting executable program or a program dependent thereon is launched, a prominent display (e.g., splash screen or banner text) of the Author’s attribution information
Oh man, Brut's HIPPOCRATIC LICENSE[1] is interesting! Just excerpting bits of Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 for example:

People who try to enforce this stuff via license fundamentally misunderstand the nature of copyright law.
Do you plan to sue people to enforce your license? Do you think people who are committing war crimes / crimes against humanity are going to not violate your license alongside all their other crimes?
The only thing this license accomplishes is ensuring no even semi-serious business will touch this with a 10' pole because it's a completely bespoke license with no prior understanding by their legal counsel. But you can already basically do that via the AGPL, except that some companies who are well-meaning may actually still use it.
I didn't want the code to be All Rights Reserved, so I chose the best license I could find that communicates my desires - I assume that's what most people do when choosing a license?
I'm OK if a "semi serious business" don't want to use my software.
All lovely ideals, but sadly means the project is not actually open source (by the official definition). And not compatible with the GPL and similar copyleft.
You can certainly take notes on all that anecdata and use them to design some proper experiments! But until someone gets the resources and willpower together to do all of that, the anecdata is all the evidence we have.
When a male takes estrogen it doesn't undo a lifetime of male sex development and existing as a male, nor does it give him a female reproductive system. So how could taking estrogen grant him an understanding of what it feels like to be the opposite sex?
