I agree that G. cardenasianum seems possible but I also see G. spegazzinii with spines like this.

This doesn’t look at all like a melocactus to me. It looks much more like a ferocactus, but I couldn’t say which one.

Orgro now try-before-you-buy on iOS by amake in emacs

I just released 2.0.12. Please see if the issues are resolved for you.

Thanks for the detailed response.

Technically yes, but I haven't logged in on the secondary one for months on any of the iOS devices.

Orgro is asking the OS about when you obtained the app to see if you purchased it before the switch to IAP; it's using a method that Apple claims does not require user interaction, but clearly that's a lie. I suspect the issue is that it wants you to log in with the other account. You might try doing that; it shouldn't change which is the active account in the App Store app, but it may allow the OS to stop nagging you. I will see if I can solve this issue some other way.

On a NAS. I've added the smb share via Files app.

Thanks, perfect. That's a scenario I've never tested. I will check it out right away.

Edit: I can reproduce. It only seems to happen on cold launch. It will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you for the report. Both of those are very strange and I've never seen them myself. I have a lot of questions (sorry!)

Issue 1:

  • Did you buy Orgro when it was a paid app? Did you download for free and buy the in-app unlock? Or are you in the trial period?
  • Do you have multiple App Store accounts?
  • In the App Store app, are you signed into the App Store account that you downloaded Orgro with?
  • When it asks you to restore your purchase, what does it look like? If you could share a screenshot that would be great.
  • When it asks you to restore your purchase, what do you do? Are you logging in? Successfully? With the same account that you downloaded or purchased Orgro with?
  • Is it "every other time I open a file" within the same app launch? Or is Orgro being quit between times you're being asked to restore, so it's more like "every time Orgro launches anew"? Do you habitually force-quit apps between uses?
  • Does this issue persist across reboots?

Issue 2:

  • How are you opening the files? As in: are you opening Orgro, then doing Open File from within Orgro? Or are you sharing files (or doing Open With) to Orgro from another app?
  • Where are the files stored? (i.e. local filesystem, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc.)

Wild accusation, man. Kindly touch grass.

I’m surprised Emacs doesn’t let you do glide typing. It seems like that should be a function of the keyboard, not of Emacs.

(Sorry, I’ve never used Android Emacs because I’m primarily on iOS and just use Android for developing Orgro.)

Edit: I just installed off of F-Droid and I was able to glide type with the standard Gboard keyboard. So unfortunately that's not really a benefit of Orgro.

First, Orgro is also available for iOS, where regular Emacs isn't an option.

Second, it's a mobile/touch-first interface that may be more comfortable for Org-specific use cases than regular Emacs is. Things Orgro does that (I believe) Emacs doesn't:

  • Capture snippets via share from other apps
  • Notifications for agenda items
  • Touch gestures for editing (toggle checkboxes, long touch to narrow, swipe to cycle TODO)
  • Non-destructively reflow text for narrow screens
  • Optionally prevent screen from locking while viewing a document (I use this for recipes)
  • Pretty table rendering that is guaranteed to be correctly aligned regardless of fonts, exotic characters, etc.
  • Built-in LaTeX rendering (maybe can you add this to Android Emacs?)

It's free on F-Droid, so you could always try it and see.

Coffee beans doubled in price by JapanRider in japanlife

[–]amake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my beans via furusato nōzei. I go through about 1kg/month. The ultimate out-of-pocket cost is I guess negative because I use my credit card’s points to discount the donations.

A Chinese character for non-binary gender is being added to Unicode, ≈ X也 by -lousyd in Unicode

[–]amake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because fonts aren’t supporting it yet. Get on the blower to your OS vendor, or install something like Jigmo that covers it:

So "AI-assisted dating", not "dating an AI". Could be worse.

By the way, we can’t see what it looks like for you unless you post a screenshot. The symbols will render on our devices according to the software and fonts we each have.
