Yep

All green energy has done is allow us to use more power.

The app, hosted on a third-party site and not the official Google Play Store,

Fuck off. Google Play != Android

I’d do the original Bitcoin faucet a few times for several reasons.

1. I wasn’t alive much less 18 or older in 1986, and thus selling millions of dollars of stock would raise some eyebrows at the FTC or whatever.
2. What company would hold it? How would I trust them not to say “Anandoned account. Our money now 😏”
3. Bitcoin is less tracable either way. The problem specifically said without changing the timeline, meaning that you and your tax documents would be completely oblivious to the stock until you get back.
4. The faucet used to give out five whole Bitcoins. So like 500k each time. Do multiple addresses and you could easily have a hundred million dollars. I don’t know how you’d keep track of those addresses. Maybe generate them before you go back and store a piece of paper on your body containing the addresses? Make sure they’re the old 1B addresses, not the new ones.

They’re provably looking for historical oil rig explosions, or the likelyhood, or something. Not “how to blow up an oil rig”

The clock is not reset like Russia.

I had an older phone and only a couple apps that would need it. I think it intentionally didn’t schedule anything to save power because the phone “can’t handle it” anymore.

Yup

Except the API non-neutrality.

Only Apple applications are allowed to operate in the background. Element (Matrix chat application) actually had to disable its app showing up in the share context menu because the encryption method breaks when it was used.

I don’t know what features Apple photos or files have, but other apps wouldn’t be able to do background downloads (downloading files added to a folder by another device,) on-device photo digestion (apple photos classifies what is in your photos and what text is in them in the background for privacy reasons,) and similar things.

Edit: and yes I know that there’s a background refresh toggle, but it doesn’t work. It just straight up doesn’t work. That feature is entirely up to the OS when it wants to schedule that “background refresh”. In my experience it never does so.

Excellent article.

1. Why is “executed”/ censored.
2. Second tweet is just “wow that’s so wacky and hilarious”

No. It’s a thing due to its liberal legal system.

Hey FYI in the US it has to be this way. In certain states they have an opt-out on drivers license forms, but that’s still technically an opt-in. Being a body-donor can’t benifit you, so thus your direct consent is needed for it.

QUIC? Yeah I know. Interesting system.

Apple products are bad.

Good point.

Personally I belive that even absent of people like this, corporations would be assholes.

That makes me like him more.

Right.

FaceTime is a thing on the OS. Clicking the link caused something that isn’t dependent on the browser/webpage. It just openend another application.

HTTP is TCP. And I’m pretty sure Minecraft uses UDP?

Is it just that https is on port 443 and minecraft is on port 25565?

Yes

Ahh… typical Apple anti-user-experience.

I’m so glad I’m out if the apple ecosystem. It’s nice I guess, but there’s just so many weird unforgivable choices they make. Like the inability to turn off opening links in an application. I was so thankful that Firefox Focus didn’t respect them. It got to a point where I just deleted apps that suddenly got opened because I clicked on a link in Safari or whatever. I think I remember it happening in private mode too. And on other applications. Does Apple think all of our accounts are tied to our real name or something? I thought they were good at this privacy stuff.

On Android it asks me nearly all the time. Not site about the mechanism but its much better either way.
