Isn't a snapshot of the db a bad idea? At least you won't always be able to restore from that. You'll need a dump for that to work.
But as IRC has a social network component, it's more of a social thing than anything inherent to IRC.

Please formulate your posts yourself and don’t use AI for it. What you are saying is true, but that way of writing takes away from it.
Juxtaposition: “…is not the method. It is the motive. …”
Don’t know what to call it, but it is also typical: “… He said so, publicly. \n On television.”

Is that true? Many other comments in this thread are saying Apple Silicon has something like 30% better efficiency/battery life.

Unfortunately, it's still bad. It's a bit better than dragging the handles of the selected area, but if I go to far and want to reduce the selected area, it doesn't work anymore.
Re:KDE is now my favorite desktop

I can agree to that, KDE is very good. Sadly my hardware has some persistent issues on Linux.
Also, while ScreenTime on MacOS is very unpolished, at least it exists. I do not think something similar exists for Linux or KDE.

Apple actually finally managed to allow 0 minutes as a time limit. Screen Time really needs to be finished by Apple, with a few more features, like more allowing certain apps at certain times (not just disallowing one set of apps at a certain time).

What he probably meant is that Command+C is copy, etc.
You can’t easily do that because every Linux program expects different things. The hack to make it work is to switch keyboard configs when you switch the application, I think. It’s far from ideal.

The author still seems to be on an Apple Watch 4, if I read correctly. So this seems like a case of Apple shipping a bad update to an older device and not caring. Or OP has a bad device.

Open health app and press on your profile picture in the upper right corner (scroll to the top). Then scroll down and press export all health data. Also OP mentioned the exported XML has some errors in iOS 16, so beware of that.

In iOS 16 it’s tap on the workout, then anywhere under Workout details and scroll a bit. That is really no discoverability issue, because there is even a show more button next to it, that has the same function.
But maybe it changed on iOS 16?
