This comment looks like it could be written about any OS and still sound true and accurate.

A price of $3 may be an impulse buy for some people, while a price of $9.99 may be a pause to evaluate that against other purchases.
Customers with higher disposable incomes can be targeted with additional content (DLC) or digital merchandise.
Serious questions follow. How and using what technology? Why are we still struggling to go to the moon or Mars by taking weeks or months?
I’m not writing an email as requested in the blog post because that entire post has not even one link to the main page of the service being talked about. Only those who click on one link to another blog post and then navigate to the main page may bother to email.
I think something is deeply missing in the way this blog post is written. And it’s likely that this is not the only post with such deficiencies.
In this context, middle eastern countries with Islam as the majority religion have the day off on Fridays.
Nitpick, but the password is submitted as-is by most client applications, and the server hashes the submitted password and compares it with the hash it has (of course, with salting).
Not sure what exactly you’re talking about, because deleting an email (from the mailbox list) is a long swipe to the left on iOS/iPadOS too, unless you have changed the settings for that to archive the mail instead of deleting. It has been this way for a very long time.
There’s the Messages app and the iMessage protocol — two different things. How would Apple allow messages from Android that are not SMS? That’s by adding RCS support, which is coming later this year. It still won’t have end to end encryption (like the iMessage protocol does) because Apple isn’t going to support (as of now) the proprietary and closed extensions Google has developed for RCS. Any Android message that comes over the data network will have to have some sort of encryption. Otherwise SMS is just fine, as it is today.
Not essential. There are people who manage it or even get into remission with high carb diets (high carb low fat) too. One common thread across all these diets is avoiding processed foods.
Hetzner also didn’t seem to support credits across all its services when I checked a few years ago.
AFAIK, Play Protect on Android already does this (or the checking and warning part) for side loaded apps. Apple already has Gatekeeper and app notarization on macOS, and both these are intended to check for malicious apps and unsigned apps. The same thing can be done with a little bit of on-devide computation combined with Apple’s services on its cloud.
Sadly (for me), this section only lists alternatives like Mastodon and Pleroma (for Twitter), Pixelfed for Instagram and PeerTube for YouTube. What I would like to see is something like Facebook Groups, which is topic/community focused, allows anyone to post (assuming admins allow), allows anyone in the group to respond or follow, etc. Even something like Reddit may be similar. Twitter and Instagram clones are good for following a few people and occasionally interacting with them, but to me they seem cumbersome with the "one to many" nature of their networks/graphs.
You can do a lot more to customize an icon with the “Studio” on this site as long as you’re using a desktop browser.
Pasting from the Studio page [1] (emphasis mine):
> The Studio is the set of tools displayed in the left column of each icon page when you browse the site on a large enough screen (sorry phone users).
> These various controls let you tweak the default icon to better suit your needs. Note that it's voluntarily quite rudimentary, and you should always rely on a complete editor like inkScape to do the heavy work.
At a fundamental level, the target is consumption and the aim is to reduce it. Inflation is when there’s more money but lesser availability of goods and services that people want. So you either have to increase the production of (or import of) goods and services or reduce the amount of money in circulation. Central banks can only do the latter. The former is the responsibility of the executive and legislature to do with policy measures (short term, medium term, long term) on local and well as the international trade fronts.
Coming back to unemployment, it will likely rise. It will have a spiraling effect on other things (people going broke, loans being defaulted, etc.).
If you’ve read about all the developed countries targeting high inflation, and in particular what the U.S. Fed has been doing, there’s been a lot of talk about a “smooth landing”, which implies that the interest rate hikes will gradually bring down inflation without causing a big decline in GDP growth and related effects. This is mostly a fantasy because in reality nobody has figured out how to get other people, i.e., an entire population, to do something in unison.
While interest rates control ease of access to money, central banks can control the amount of money available through various mechanisms (liquidity control in banks, reserve requirements, etc.). Interest rate increases require time to show up in their effects (several months or quarters). Other measures can have a quicker impact. Businesses, especially larger ones, will have access to bind their effective interest rate to lower values for longer. So these changes won’t show up uniformly everywhere.
All said and done, central banks are typically (IMO) powerless in handling inflation or deflation. Without other policy decisions and policy actions (local and international) by the government, there’s not a lot that central banks can do without inflicting too much damage and getting into a whiplash reaction when things spike out of control.
You can also press and release the power button five times consecutively for the same power down/SOS screen, and then the biometric lock gets disabled (requiring the device passcode).
I hope you’d rethink on this point. Nothing else matters in this context. Not Mattermost, not Rocket Chat, not the entire open source model.
Say I have two feeds from two different sites. The newsreader shows only the most recent (10 or 20 or whatever) articles for one feed whereas it shows all the articles from the time I subscribed to that feed for the second one. I know that the feed XML itself contains only a limited number of articles in both the cases whenever the reader requests for a refresh.
How can I make sure that the newsreader preserves (does not purge) the older articles in the first case above (I use NetNewsWire on macOS and Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows)?
The details are there in this post, but I can offer a few guesses. Users may be using multiple devices. And the service has to deliver to all the linked devices before ejecting the message from its storage. The time limit for storing and waiting for linked devices to come online is about a month. With tens of millions of users, this could add up.
May not be the best thread to say this in, but Signal isn’t as good as Telegram and WhatsApp on features. People can be persuaded to switch, but may have different expectations than what Signal can satisfy.
