Yes it does

Can’t as there’s no 32bit version and I’m bitter about it every day.

(Yes, I know about Mull.)

I use it, it’s my favourite messenger as it doesn’t need a phone number or email or any signup. It works well, occasionally there are delays or bugs but nothing too serious.

People who run the onion nodes can also do some crypto stuff with them, which in my book is fine as it gives people an incentive to run nodes.

By Trek’s logic, Tuvix’s identical copy lives in an alternative universe of some sort. And that’s really the only way to justify all this.

Ed: Also the “Oh wait, they can’t speak so someone has to speak for them” has some interesting implications, doesn’t it.

Don’t see why not. You can download a database of hashes and compare that locally. Granted, those hashes aren’t “free”, but that’s due to the legal status of such material. The principle itself - comparing hashes - can be foss.

Yea people can look into the algorithms to see how they work and circumvent etc., but that’s no different than with… Anything else. If someone is motivated enough to distribute the material, they’ll make their own network. Foss doesn’t make any difference here.

I use Session Messenger, on the Oxen network. Love it on principle even tho the implementation is a bit lacking in places.

And there’s Tor… Which is what it is.

I think it’s the transporter accident from ST:TMP. I didn’t know they can procreate.

Yea it’s not full-blown Photoshop layers in this regard. Still, with the amount of other stuff it has and for the price (or with just small ads and no fullscreen video ads or other crap), I really can’t complain. I’ve replaced amost every other app with a foss one, but there’s no good foss image editor. Pocket Paint and Litrato can do a few things here and there but not much and both seem abandoned.

Ed: Ok so PP isn’t abandoned and is quite nice in its own way but just doesn’t have the practicality for photo editing or meme making.

There’s a girl on YT who has one arm and said exactly that - “I don’t know how you people with two arms sleep” I think.

I sometimes use online apps when I need something specific and Christ that’s like the 6th level of hell on my old slow phone… Tho honestly I can’t imagine how an online app can ever be equal to a local one

SF: Europa Report

You can have an IR blaster as an accessory for the headphone jack.

Getting a 404 on that.

Make it open source on F-Droid, compatible with the Fediverse, and maybe you’ll even get 500 installs.

Sony, except the battery, but that is coming with new EU regulation.

Actually cheap phones often have more of these things, although it’s getting rarer.

I’d guess different setups both of the phones and accounts. For example if one has enabled Google location in settings, and stuff like location sharing isn’t disabled, the phone will be pinged much more often. Same if you have office documents on cloud, synchronisation with phone book and stuff like that.

And yea it makes sense that an account that’s more active is of more interest to ping more regularly. Maybe also for security too. Tho I don’t know if it has to be an actual conscious decision by the designers of the systems or just some AI algorithms doing it.

I wouldn’t be so stoked about it. Retail chains use alp kinds of dirty tactics to get products cheaper, this is probably one of them.

The energy wouldn’t be lost, most of it would be used to heat the inside of the oven itself; and the air inside it, some of which can escape I guess, but that won’t make much difference whether there’s a pan or not.

However the pan itself needs to be heated up as well - or maybe not “needs to”, but will regardless, and that’s energy that will go into the pan instead of the rest of the oven.

So if anything, the whole thing will heat up slower because there’s more cold metal. It will also cool down slower after the heat is turned off, because there’s more hot metal.

If you’re not sure, take the question to an extreme: an empty oven vs. one with a huge 100kg block of metal inside it. Which one will heat up faster?
