Readit NewsNot my personal opinion... but wonder how much of a factor this is :)
that's because VPNs don't change your phone's geolocation, which is determined by GPS/wifi signals. It's not a "VPN bypass" in any meaningful sense, any more than amazon knowing where you live because you filled out your address isn't a "VPN bypass".
>Meaning, almost certainly true? If I gave Facebook microphone access, I would 100% expect it to be using my microphone for analytics. If you read their privacy policy, this is definitely allowed.
Both iOS and Android has microphone indicators, so the idea that it's surreptitiously listening to you behind your back is doubtful, or requires some sort of conspiracy between it and Google/Apple. That's not impossible, but should be considered a crank theory until proven otherwise.
>[...] and there's no consequences, and it's allowed... why wouldn't you?
Strongly disagree. Google has been sued and lost for much lesser privacy infringements, like tracking users while in incognito, which if you read the suit is pretty absurd. Evidence that any big tech company was intentionally eavesdropping on users (ie. excluding something like voice assistants being accidentally triggered) would be a bombshell.
But those suits dont matter:
- the penalty they have to pay is laughably small
- consumers by and large dont know or dont care enough to switch away from Chrome.
It's a genuine question because I'm puzzled here.
A very small number of users have this bug (and tbf, it's a really bad bug), and are unable to consistently reproduce it and it seems none of the developers have been able to (the seemingly random nature of the bug occurring is not helping). How is it supposed to be fixed?
You strangle it from the edges.
The problem likely is an obsession with any of the following:
Trying to keep your notes accurate.
Trying to have a "good" organizational scheme (categories? folders? tags?)
Trying not to have your notes on a topic fragmented. (Didn't I write about this before? Let me find my earlier note and add to it. Oh, and let me find the appropriate places within a note to add the new info).
I've suffered from all of the above. Late last year I decided to start afresh. I use org mode + capture. All notes go in one org file. I don't try to find a prior note on the same topic. I just tag the new note (hopefully with the same tag as before), and start writing. I don't check if I've written some thought before.
I then have a function that takes a tag as an input, and creates a new (temporary) org file with only the entries from that note. It's in the same format as my blog's publishing SW, so if I want, I can output to HTML and view it in the browser - with each note being a blog post.
6 months in, though, I've never needed that function.
What I like about this:
I enter freely without worrying about how it should be organized - I tag it with whatever comes to mind at the moment.
I rely on basic search when looking for something. It's not great, but I'll live with it.
If I ever do work on a long term project where I can work only very sporadically, that export function will be handy.
I never randomly browse. The fact that the file has X notes not acted on - doesn't bother me. That it's all in one file - is surprisingly nice. Since it's in Org mode, I can always do queries on it (but haven't so far).
> Write fragmentarily and read collectively.
I felt a lot lighter just writing things without thinking about organization too heavily and howm gave nice tools to find/see what I needed.
Sad to see it's still so far from vscode. Is there really no way to make emacs magically work like vscode without modifying packages
Idk maybe invent something like jit-compilation but for remote/local code. Profile rtt latency then somehow dynamically calculate optimal local-remote code split and transfer remote part to remote machine
The tramp model does have the advantage of little to no resource usage, but these days most aren't concerned about that.
