Well for this particular functionality whatever you use (website, app, etc) must have a valid apple developer certificate, so either the website must be up, the app's backend server must be up, or an offline app's bundled certificate must still be valid. All of these things will eventually stop being true regardless of the form the app/website takes.

Tower is also very good. Probably just due to having used it more, I prefer it over Fork, but I can get by if I have to use a computer not licensed for Tower.

I find both Fork and Tower to be much better than SourceTree, have you only tried free tools?

I can't live without Fork. It's the one thing I miss on Linux. I have it in Wine, but it's running terribly there unfortunately.

I’ve used SourceTree for a decade, Fork is the only one I’ve switched to partially (at work).

I probably will switch back to ST even at work because I dislike:

- I want the split view of ST where I can simply see the changes and not lose the commit log.

- “see only current branch” is super useful in ST to see only the current branch’s commit log.

(Partially writing this in hopes of someone pointing out ways to do this in Fork)

You can do "see only current branch" with the little filter icon when you hover next to a branch. Although I do find myself getting lost amongst branches more easily compared to Sourcetree, I think there's some difference in how filters are combined that isn't ideal (but I can't remember specifics)

You can also go to View in the menu and click "Filter by active branch" (Ctrl+Shift+A).

Also if you, like me, wanted to blame or view history for specific files there does not seem to be a way by clicking in the GUI to achieve it. But by using Ctrl+P you get the command search and can search for "Blame" or "File history".

I use file history aaaall the time. My favourite feature in Fork.

Thank you!

Another vote for Fork here. Used to use many different UI clients, including ST and Tower but left Tower for Fork. I still add P4 Merge as my external merge tool though. It seems to have the best algorithm and often solves conflicts automatically.

SourceGit comes pretty close to it for me (same situation)

I love Tower and have paid for it for years. I can’t imagine using the git CLI now. GUIs were invented for a reason and the git CLI has terrible ergonomics and many ways to make costly mistakes.

I have dabbled in those tools. Still did not change my opinion.

I think that ship has sailed. They already make iPads (the pro line) with M-class processors just like the laptops that run full-featured macOS. This change is to add laptops that run A-class processors like run the iPhone. If all Apple cared about with regards to what capabilities they expose in an OS was what processor was in a device then the iPad Pros would be able to run macOS, but they don’t view their products that way.

> If all Apple cared about with regards to what capabilities they expose in an OS was what processor was in a device then the iPad Pros would be able to run macOS

That's my point, and I think this hybrid Mac with iPhone chip will make this even more blatant. You are effectively paying more for less features just because they know what's best for you.

Maybe the blink or marquee tags? I’m pretty sure those don’t work anymore...

<marquee> still works fine. Better than it used to, honestly, as at least Firefox and Chromium removed the deliberate low frame rate at some point in the last decade.

<blink> was never universal, contrary to popular impression: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_element#:~:text=The%20bl...>, it was only ever supported by Netscape/Gecko/Presto, never Trident/WebKit. Part of the joke of Blink is that it never supported <blink>.

> Netscape only agreed to remove the blink tag from their browser if Microsoft agreed to get rid of the marquee tag in theirs during an HTML ERB meeting in February 1996.

Fun times. Both essentially accusing the other of having a dumb tag.

marquee is used religiously by some official Indian websites [1]. It's the primary mechanism they use to deliver news or updates on the websites.

[1] For example: https://www.nagpuruniversity.ac.in/

Extremely popular in Indian government websites, often implemented with <marquee>, but also often implemented by a different mechanism so that it can stop scrolling on mouseover.

Indian Rail <https://www.indianrail.gov.in/> has one containing the chart from a mid-2024 train accident, an invitation to contribute a recording of the national anthem from 2021, and a link to parcel booking. Oh, and “NEW!” animated GIFs between the three items.

>Oh, and “NEW!” animated GIFs between the three items.

That's gotta be the second most popular web design quirk. Haha

I’ve never enabled iCloud backups and it has never pestered me about it after the initial iPhone setup process (the modern version of which doesn't even pester me then since it copies the setting from my last iPhone). I backup locally to my mac, which admittedly they made require a password each time now, which is a bit annoying, but it’s not asking me to enable icloud backups regardless.

They have always required a password for encrypted backups, do they now require for all local backups? Or is unencrypted not an option anymore?

You have to understand how ridiculous this answer sounds.

This is a technical forum. There is an expectation of how things are shared. Images and relying on built in OCR is not anywhere in line with that expectation.

Still it would be nice if the author used the right format for the job.

In my experience, no they won’t help with gdpr takedowns. The only way to make things unavailable is actually to file a dmca notice against any url that you want hidden. This was actually the recommended approach from GitHub when I asked them about this. Absurd.

> The only way to make things unavailable is actually to file a dmca notice

Is it costly to do?

> In my experience, no they won’t help with gdpr takedowns

I would have expected that I could say "This is my code, hence this is my data, and I want you to remove my data from your website". I wonder how hard it is to file a complaint to the EU and see what happens.

If it isn’t too much trouble it would be nice to be able to disable the sounds, or have it respect the system mute state.

Sure can look into that.

I think you mean second most populous country? The second largest country is Canada and we definitely have Google Play Services, for what it’s worth.
