Wow. The QR code changing every 15 minutes... that's like trying to get into a rock concert. Well done

I find dissonance between “I hate these products” and “I’m going to freeride by eg blocking their ads”

I know the effect is negligible but isn’t that just stealing

>However, I’m super aggressive about social media and feeds I don’t control. Any app that shows me a feed I can’t turn off, sort, or filter—I take that as psychological warfare against me.

Is it just me or are people getting too stuck in a Manichean mindset about this kind of thing? This reads like an alcoholic complaining about a work happy hour or something. Just, don't use the social media stuff.

>For the longest time, my LinkedIn bio was “I HATE LINKEDIN.”

OP kind of just seems insufferable. Touch grass.

This person has too much time on their hands.

The bigger issue is that to use this gym, you must own a smartphone and you must bring it with you and carry it around while you work out.

We're just counting down to being unable to exist without a smartphone on your person at all times. What a dystopia.

What's with all the negative comments here? I thought this was a reasonably interesting article about _actually hacking something_, whether this person needed to or not. You know, like in "HackerNews"?

This is the future of software with AI: everyone can have hyper-personalized software to solve very personally-specific problems.

Another solution could have been to run something like Tasker or Automate to launch app, take QR from current activity (this is the main part) and display just that and once you are done, dismiss the rest of the app.

Somewhat relatedly: did you know that the "RSA Authenticator (SecurID)" app only tries to detect Frida / ptrace hooks for the first few seconds of its runtime, after which it loads the symmetric OTP secret into memory? Now you do.

Does Android not have a "wallet" feature? My gym does the app-based QR code for entry, but on Apple, I just add that app to my wallet and the QR appears there, I only need to access the app proper to check class and pool schedules.

Just change your gym bro, not worth supporting this behaviour.

>it prompts you to post a story of your session

An excellent portal to accept a fictionalized ai slop version of "your" experience. Make it long, and maybe put a recipe at the bottom.
