Countdown to JD Vance posting the first pic as a "Springfield rotisserie"

Keep a stock message on your phone to cut and paste whenever an iPhone user sends you a potato-quality video. This is mine:

Please don't send video to me via iMessage from your iPhone. In fact, you really shouldn't send video via iMessage at all. Video sent by Apple looks terrible on non-iOS phones. This is not a shortcoming of other phones, this is entirely Apple's fault and is their explicit intention. If you want to send a video from your iPhone, you can open the Photos app, tap the share button, and select "share as an iCloud link". That will enable All users to view your glorious video of your cat/kids/dinner/vacation/rant/whatever in the high resolution that your overpriced phone is capable of. Another option is to send the video using a messaging app such as Signal or WhatsApp. Alternate messaging apps are what most of the world use in lieu of text messaging.

This is a form letter response and you will get it every time you send me video from your iPhone via iMessage.

P.S. I love you

I do the same and use simple login as a service to manage the emails. They all get forwarded to a single mailbox, but I can easily activate/deactivate individual addresses. Also, I have all incoming addresses blacklisted by default, unless they match a particular regex. That way, I can create new email addresses as needed without needing to pull any levers, but im still protected against someone spamming my domain (unless they figure out my regex)

Not if you have a library card!

Unfortunately, this is only true for a (substantial) subset of state parks. I wish they were all participating, but they're not.

I'm an able-bodied handcyclist. Not a wheelchair attachment, but a dedicated handcycle. I've been riding one for over 20 years now. I alternate riding it and riding a leg-powered bicycle. Cycling and hiking are the only exercises I will religiously stick to. I realized that my upper body was being neglected and gave a handcycle a shot.

They are super fun and a great workout. I prefer my handcycle rides tremendously over my to eg-poweted bicycle rides (but I can't skip leg day). I highly recommend trying out a handcycle to anybody who thinks they may be interested.

If you're in the Los Angeles area, and are interested in trying one out, message me. I love introducing folks to handcycles and live down the block from a bike path. I even have a couple for sale that I'd let go at a very reasonable price if anyone wants one. I just don't want to ship them.

They've moved on to specific platforms, not open standards. Ultimately, that's not a good thing. Like when Twitter effectively replaced RSS for a lot of use cases.

 

I have quite a few old Android phones sitting around. From Samsung S3s to a OnePlus 6. I'm interested in using one offline in my car for GPS, to avoid Google tracking. Anyone have good recommendations for a GPS app with directions that I can use offline. I'd like to be able to download the data for the entire U.S., that I would periodically update over wifi, so I'd like this process not to be too onerous. Anyone else doing this?
