@jextxadore Ah, the password sharing prompt. Hmm. I bet disabling Bluetooth will stop them.
It worked. Vertically squished on Nice though - aspect was not preserved by the web app.
@jextxadore No image showed up. :\ Did you upload from iPhone to Nice.social? I think I had that fail for me once before. Edit: Just tested and it worked fine this time.
Edit2: Oh, upthread. Derp.

@variablepulserate It gets closer now that you’ve asked. I may have some time this weekend.
@JeremyCherfas Reverse engineering compiled desktop or mobile code can be a lot of fun, too. (And once you get how it works at that level, you get how the right input data can abuse it and twist it to your own ends.)

@lograh My sister had a school-issued laptop in high school. IT intentionally wiped them all before the start of a new school year. The kids were pros at picking up viruses and breaking things, so I expect that kept the support burden way lower.

@ed3d Yes, last published Dec 2018. But @larand is also right that Feedly first says it’s dormant, and then when you ask to show all including read, it says you’re all caught up. Hmm.
But using Pythonista:
>>> import requests
>>> import feedparser
>>> len(feedparser.parse(requests.get('https://jeremywsherman.com/index.xml').text).entries)
94So yes, still there.
@larand It sounds like you have something that works already, but if you wind up wanting a different tack, a fun workaround could be a custom keyboard with firmware. You teach it the expansions, then the keyboard firmware translates them to the full set of keystrokes, and the host machine is totally unaware of the awesome. (It’s how a lot of open source stenotype hardware works - translates the steno into QWERTY, basically.)
(Of course, IT can just say no to custom keyboards then, too. No winning.)
