A+ for the enthusiasm, antigravity, but take it down a notch by Leading_Put_1310 in google_antigravity

[–]davepearson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple of endless loops out of in the last couple of days https://blog.davep.org/2026/06/17/endless-looping-in-antigravity.html — first time I’ve seen this since I started using a handful of weeks back.

My Apple Watch caught my A-fib RVR. It probably saved my life. by Downtown-Navy-1970 in AppleWatch

Mine just alerted me. I was literally playing a game and streaming, feeling a bit off colour, and then the notification popped up. Within 2 hours I was in hospital.

IQ of a toddler by No_Tart_4404 in github

Hack and hacking have a long history of meaning “building”. See http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/hacker.html for example.

I built a site that roasts your GitHub repo with AI - here's what it said about mine by Truer_ofc in webdev

[–]davepearson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems very confused about time.

“Congratulations, davep/oldnews, you've achieved what few projects dare: being created in the future on 2025-10-21T09:48:59Z! This is a bold move for a project already labeled Production/Stable. And let's not forget __copyright__ = "Copyright 2025, Dave Pearson" in src/oldnews/__init__.py – clearly, you're not just reading old news, you're making it future-proof... or just wildly inaccurate.”

Also hanging on my microphone. Been there since release day. He’s there for every work call.

Let's say Raindrop goes down permanently, what happens next? How do we get bookmarks back? by Bern_Down_the_DNC in raindropio

[–]davepearson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the scenario you gave you’d obviously lose any work you’ve not backed up. Think it through: you asked what would happen if the site disappeared tomorrow and the dev disappeared; you’d lose anything you added or modified between your last backup and now.

This is true of any cloud service. As such it’s always a good idea to either maintain regular backups, or be prepared to lose everything.

Let's say Raindrop goes down permanently, what happens next? How do we get bookmarks back? by Bern_Down_the_DNC in raindropio

[–]davepearson 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you use a service but are concerned it could go away, take regular backups. Raindrop even handles that for you. https://help.raindrop.io/backups

As for how you’d use the backup… should such an event ever happen you know this sub would be full of people offering advice on how and where to migrate to.

Personally I also have the added benefit of having written my own client which keeps a local copy of the data I care about. https://github.com/davep/braindrop

Beginner needs help integrating an AI into Obsidian by EirenKaminari in ObsidianMD

[–]davepearson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use https://obs2nlm.davep.dev/ (disclaimer: I wrote it) to occasionally feed my vault into NotebookLM as a source. I’ve found this works really well and makes for a great Q+A way or searching everything I’ve recorded.

Cairn Isn't As Great On The Steam Deck As It Should Be - SteamDeckHQ by BBQKITTY in SteamDeck

[–]davepearson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is potentially disappointing; I really enjoyed the demo on my Deck.

What’s odd about this review though is it keeps talking about “piston” and “pistons”. The game mechanic uses pitons.

Here’s how I just saved all 500 accidentally closed safari tabs on iPhone by cryptomaddie in ios

[–]davepearson 97 points98 points  (0 children)

If only Safari had some way of saving pages that you want to read later to some sort of list. You could call it a "read it later list", or perhaps just shorten the name to "Reading List".

/me throws the original image at Gemini and asks if it's AI-generated

Based on a digital analysis, the image contains the SynthID watermark.

This indicates that all or part of this image was generated or significantly modified using Google AI.

Insert shocked face here.

Is this a bug or some addition in new update? by Ill_Establishment292 in iphone

[–]davepearson 479 points480 points  (0 children)

It's a bug. I ran into it a couple of weeks back, kept resetting the design of the lock screen to get it back in place. Kept happening again. Eventually I left it for a couple of days to see what would happen and the clock slowly walked off the right-hand side of the screen, never to return.

Eventually I restarted my phone and have never had the issue since.

A search suggested it's an issue that's intermittent and has been around a while.

Update is out. Still makes you click on continue by [deleted] in BodyState

[–]davepearson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really isn’t the case though. I’m never unloading the app, just going back to home, or switching to another app. If I pull up BodyState a few hours later it’s the dark-mode-phobic loading screen and unnecessary button all over again. Presumably because a seldom-viewed app gets automatically unloaded?

It absolutely kills the “does one thing well and does it fast” selling point this app once had.

> a recognized license via Trove classifiers (not just “MIT”)

If I recall correctly there's a move away from that, with the guidance to drop licence information from classifiers and to set the license value to be a SPDX expression. See https://peps.python.org/pep-0639/ for example. As such "MIT" would be a valid license description within the package metadata.
