wronrohn··on FBI using push notification tokens to identify anonymous users
Snapchat is an app I found quite nefarious with push notifications. They have 'screen on' as the default notification mode for all their messages.

I currently use two phones with notifications turned off for Snapchat. However, the notification settings get reset if I use it on my other device. I don't use Snapchat altogether, but the other day, they sent me an SMS mentioning that I have a few unread messages. So scummy and so stupid!

I am not sure if this is a direct/ indirect response to Youtube adblock ban. But I think more public media should move their content to their own services (as a way to make a statement)and keep it free. Perhaps a video broadcasting website for public domain content; a more popular archive.org
wronrohn··on Adapting Google Maps to India's Lack of Street Names: A 15-Year Journey
Great article. I noticed how bad google maps were back in India. I am very excited to try out the latest iteration when I get back!!

I wonder how Waze compares to google maps now.
