Is Memories working for you after the 34 update? I remember it took a long time for the community to update Memories to work with 33, and that experience has me holding off on updating to 34 with the hope that app updates come quickly.

Getting HTML email signatures to work in iOS Mail is a trial and error nightmare, and it requires a second device.

Create an HTML email signature in TextEdit or some other rich text editor on macOS, copy it and paste it on iOS using Continuity Clipboard into the signature text field in iOS’ Settings -> Apps -> Mail -> Signature text field, and pray that it works.

When it does work, it ignores text size. Want your email signature to be in a smaller font size? Too bad.

The only workaround I’ve found is to copy an email signature from another email account that miraculously did copy over successfully, copy it on iOS and paste that in to another’s email signature field, and manually rewrite the whole thing.

Of course, the HTML links aren’t editable, and the Signature text fields don’t enable the “Add Link” item to the hover tools menu when selecting text.

Worst of all, even when the email signature is finally perfect, the Signature text field doesn’t preview it properly. If text is pasted in at a smaller text size, the preview still shows it at the default size. The only way to accurately preview an email signature is to draft a new email and hope the email signature displays like it did originally in TextEdit.

In short, never create a new HTML email signature on iOS. Create in on a Mac (source), copy it over the network with Continuity Clipboard, hope it works, and treat the iOS email signature fields (destination) as a never- or rarely-editable workspace.

That does sound annoying.

I have a dozen regularly typed words that I have had to set up string replacements for (in General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement) to work around recorrect the autocorrect.

It used to be possible to tell autocorrect to ignore certain words and add them to the system dictionary (by typing the word, having jt autocorrected, hutting backspace and fixing the autocorrected word, and repeating the process 2 or 3 times), but that inexplicably stopped working for me a few years ago.

In the shutdown / restart confirmation dialog there’s a checkbox to reopen apps at login. If there’s a bug with it I haven’t noticed it. You can also run

defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowLaunchesRelaunchApps -bool false

Great point about emulation! I thought of a few Retro Games Corps videos I’ve seen when I saw your comment. Is that you?

Wikipedia, yes. Without attribution no. It says they use Wikipedia on the ‘about’ page, where they also say they donate half their profits to the Wikipedia Foundation.

I’m not associated with factsasnews at all; I just took a minute and clicked on the ‘about’ page.

Would this be called “lock in”?

“One worrying trend I’ve observed among my male investor friends is that they’re much more wary of giving candid advice to women founders than they used to be. They are afraid of saying anything that a female founder might misinterpret as sexism. So, when giving feedback to a woman they don’t know well enough to trust, they talk with less candor than they would with a male founder.¹ When this happens, women are missing out on potentially valuable advice.”

Oh. My. God. Just ask the person if they want your advice.

It’s the same in the (presumably male-dominated) workplace as it is in anywhere, such as giving unsolicited advice to someone at the (usually male-dominated) rock gym.

Surprising for me. I just shared the link with my COVID pod, and I’m giddy for the mayhem to begin. Thanks for the link!

Great call to action. With other nonprofits I would immediately agree, matching is important. Is Signal in more need than other nonprofits, though? I imagine they’re still sitting on some of the $40 million the Signal Foundation got from Brian Acton, former WhatApp CEO.
