Installed Copilot for Xcode, github.com/github/CopilotForXc, and will see if I now get the feature request fullfilled for Highkara news reader. A bit confusing as it's not integrated to Xcode like OpenAI or Anthropic.

Long time since last update to imgur app for @Jolla @SailfishOS. Thanks to PR it is now a bit better. After QA gets to it. It was a bit harder to test the PR as I don't have modern device and SDK doesn't support Apple Silicon.

@aegg You need Virtualbox (or Docker) to run the SDK emulator so running inside VM wouldn't work. It's not just Apple Silicon but also other Arm-based OS.

Trying to figure out what to do with the PR I got to Sailimgur app. Found out that the SDK supports onlyIntel CPUs and Apple silicon is not supported :( Merge without testing or setup old x86 MBP for just this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I doubt that spends any development time for supporting Apple Silicon in the near future as this same issue was raised 3 years ago.

After checking about:config, "Hide weather on New Tab" sets the config value "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.showWeather" to "false", but leaves "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.weatherfeed" as the default of "true". So, my suspicion was correct, #Firefox is still sending your location off every 30 minutes to get the weather in the background by default even if you disable this new widget: searchfox.org/mozilla-central/ #infosec #privacy

a screenshot of Firefox's about:config after hiding the weather widget, showing weatherfeed unmodified as true and showWeather modified to false.

Playwright “enables reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps” and it has good documentation also for Best Practices which helps you to make sure you are writing tests that are more resilient. I wrote a blog post with my notes of Playwright Best Practices documentation with some additions: ruleoftech.com/2024/notes-of-b.

That feeling when you set up new laptop and the app you've used isn't available anymore as binary 🤷 (not maintained)

Fortunately github.com/webponize/webponize is available in GitHub. The problem is that before building 1. fork repo 2. migrate dependency 3. fork submodule (not maintained) 4. fix bug in submodule 5. update submodule 🥵 6. fix rest of issues.

Now I've a working app 🫠 (and learned to use SwiftPM)
