Is that Android only? I can't find it on iOS
I'm using it on Android. Possibly it doesn't have an iOS version.

I've noticed lately that several interesting apps are only on Android. It's a reversal from the previous decade when developers focused on iOS first. Of course that works for me. :D

Re: War between Hamas and Israel

I have to question how dire the hunger situation in Gaza really is if Palenstinian activists are mocking the MREs that the United States has been airdropping. As was recently mentioned in another thread, MREs may not be the most palatable meals, but they are indeed what U.S. servicemembers survive ...

Re: World News Thread

I initially thought back to 1999, when Putin blew up Moscow apartment buildings and blamed Chechens to drum up support for the war in Chechnya. But times have changed, he doesn't care if the population supports his war. Currently, Russia blames Islamic militants from Ingushetia. Although Medvedev we...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

Just about the only puzzle game I play these days is nonograms on the Katana app. Most nonogram apps have a limited number of puzzles, but Katana allows users to upload content so it's pretty much limitless. And just as I was hitting the limit of my interest, I noticed it has an Adventurers Guild, w...

That's an amazing photo, narya! I only ever saw a fox once, when one crossed my trail. I did see one yesterday, at the San Francisco Zoo. It seems a new trend to showcase local animals and not just focus on the exotics. For example, here are two grizzlies lining up expectantly. A minute later, the k...

Re: AI! AI! A ChatGPT is come!

What Dave said. ChatGPT is a text generator. The text doesn't have to be correct. It should only be used if you already know the answer but don't want the bother of typing it. However. Both Microsoft and Google now have LLM built into their search engines, and that can get you much better results, b...

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues hitting Russian refineries. Ironically, they do it in large part because of the US stalling at providing aid. US weapons come with the stipulation that they can't be used on the territory of Russia itself, but there are no such restrictions on the Ukrainian drones. At ea...

Meanwhile in Russia, a 3-day event is under way in which Russians, in a free and clear election, will elect Vladimir Putin for another 6-year term. Despite there being no serious opposition, Putin isn't taking any chances. In Kursk, there were reports that government-provided pens had vanishing ink,...

Re: Gender and threats to "Normality" (spilit from "The challenges ahead")

If she self-identifies as a bimbo (a dumb, sexy, and probably promiscuous female), that's her business. I don't see why she can't have that name.

In the course of business, I see a lot of names, and some of them are... a lot, so Bimbo as a name doesn't phase me.
