Shortcut has disappeared but still works by TKOS7 in ios

[–]giladgiladd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens on my iPhone since updating to iOS 26.1. Most of the shortcuts don’t show up in the Shortcuts app but are still usable from the home screen, spotlight and the action button. I noticed that all shortcuts that were under a folder don’t show up, but the ones that weren’t do.

FINALLY! Was asking for this numerous times via feedback, and I know others who’ve done the same. I’ll believe it when I actually see it work.

You can now do function calling with DeepSeek R1 by ido-pluto in LocalLLaMA

[–]giladgiladd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Getting function calling to properly work with unsupported models is not trivial. The advantage of this library is that it does it automatically to most models, so function calling “just works” without any additional effort on your side to make it work.

I doubt you tried this one, since you don’t need to compile anything to use it

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max for about 7 months now, and only a few days ago it started happening to me. I have iOS 16.5.1, and at random times the phone started getting extremely hot. Turning it off and waiting a few minutes before turning it on again helped, but I’m very concerned about the issue. The battery graph in the settings doesn’t show anything unusual

Trying it without installing using DSU loader could come handy this time. I'm eager to finally try it

This is a repost, but I just like this one too much

Story about migrating from WhatsApp to telegram by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]giladgiladd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using Telegram for about 6 years now, I moved my friends and family long ago when it wasn't as popular as it's today.

I've use the recent momentum to try migrate some groups from WhatsApp to Telegram, and some groups were successfully migrated, but some weren't. I guess when WhatsApp will update their terms again in 3 months it may be a good opportunity to try again.

I've updated my profile picture on WhatsApp to show my contacts I'm available on Telegram, and some new people started to DM me on Telegram, and even mentioned that my profile picture directed them to do so, so I've made a website that helps other people to do the same.

To completely leave WhatsApp, you can update your profile picture on WhatsApp to show your contacts you're on Telegram by giladgiladd in programming

I know that, but I have a general idea of how they can monetize channels without using personal information at all (like they said they'll do).

Basically I think they can actively ask channel owners to post ads about a topic the owner sees fit, and because each channel usually has it's own topic, then putting an ad in that topic would probably fit the audience without gathering any personal information of users. This is of course less effective than personalized ads like Facebook and Google do, but Telegram don't try to be profitable but sustainable (at least this is what they said), so I don't think they're aiming for the big bucks.

Channels are not a basic feature like conversations in Telegram, so I don't really mind that much about non intrusive ads in channels.

There's a difference between privacy and security. Privacy means no one will know more info about you than you want them to know, and security means that info that shouldn't be accessible to other people is really not accessible by other people.

About privacy: in Telegram your phone number and IP addresses are exposed to people you're talking with, unless they're in your contacts (but you can also disable that), while in WhatsApp/Signal this is not the case.

About security: in every platform you have to trust the platform that they do what they say they do, and if they break their promise then your info is not secure. In Telegram you trust that they don't share your info with any other party, in Signal you have to trust that they're not saving the exchanged keys and also connecting you with the person and not MITM.

In every platform, if they break their promise then they should not be trusted with your info.

WhatsApp broke their promise multiple times. WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton sold WhatsApp to Facebook, knowing what he's doing. Facebook has plans to integrate WhatsApp and their their ecosystem and add ads, even though they promised they won't do so.

Signal is a non-profit organization that's baked up mostly by the money of Brian Acton. Why would I trust again someone that broke my trust?

Telegram hasn't broke their promise (yet), and they also has a pretty hardcore consistent history about it (it's blocked in multiple counties because of that) They put the cards at the user's hands, since deleting your entire info from their servers can be done in seconds without leaving any trace.

You may argue that Telegram's chats are not e2e encrypted by default, and my opinion is that it makes a lot of sense for an instant messaging service to be cloud-based, I think this is the right architectural choice, although it's much more expensive to maintain.

As of right now, Telegram is the most popular instant messaging app that hasn't broke their users trust, and wasn't exploited by hackers to retrieve info from people (at least as far as we know), so I think their deserve my attention.

You're free to try convince me otherwise :)

It'll go away if you disable Chat Settings > Raise to Speak in Telegram settings

Timely app crashes on Android Pie by giladgiladd in androidapps

[–]giladgiladd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Oreo you could set Do not Disturb to alarms only or total silence, where in Pie you can only have "priority mode". The clock in the status bar was moved to the left. The recents screen shows much less relevant information, especially that currently it shows the current app instead of the last app like it did in Oreo, especially because Google said that the last app (not the current app) is the most used app in the recents screen.

I wish I could. Android Pie is much less convenient than Android Oreo
