You can still give constructive criticism of an open source project though, right?

Wouldn't this become pretty difficult to do at scale over time? Is there a way to compare the similarity in a database of responses without doing a search over every entry and comparing them? Because that would probably become pretty s

Technically you're still correct even when you would advocate for both. Every additional copy increases the risk that the data is accessed by someone else.

I don’t know if the building data is from OSM but some of the buildings in my area are not high enough at all and therefore only make a really small shadow. It’s off by a factor of 3 or so.

Right, but hydrodynamic drag is drag too.

Are you sure that this is not something every single device does? I’ve never heard of a device that continually switches between charging and discharging while powered if the battery is full.

What’s the actual use case for this that’s not malicious? When would someone want to generate a fake satellite image of a selectable area? Is it for architects that want to visualize projects?

You don’t need internet to run JS though. And the JS seems to be pretty sandboxed in normal viewers too, so a pdf file shouldn’t make network requests on its own. As long as there is no iframe-like content I don’t see how rendering a docume

Even when drunk? I’m not saying it’s a real danger (people willing to do that could already do a lot of other stuff) but I wouldn’t be so sure that you couldn’t do it either.

It would have helped to write that when talking about the review.

Do you seriously not see how this misunderstanding is coming about though? If you write a blog post over a negative review accusing you of nagging, I would expect you to say “actually I’m not really nagging, I just have a line saying to ple

How is that baseless? If someone says “hey, this guy has a nag screen” and your response is “but everybody does it!”, it’s not baseless to think you have a bag screen without checking your app. If you don’t, I would expect you to write “the

Why would you ever need that? I’m pretty sure you can already supply a custom explanation in the system permission modal to explain why you want the permission.

Kind of scary, imagine someone putting an ad in that and placing it on random people without them noticing. Obviously doesn’t really make sense because if it’s an ad you also know who did it but somehow that’s the first thing that came to m

If I enter Madrid and Milan in Google Maps and select walking, it does show some footpaths to take, no? Those don’t look like major roads. Don’t know how to share the route without doxxing myself but you can enter it yourself.

Yeah, the correct position if you believe the argument in the article is agnosticism.

That doesn’t prove it doesn’t send data if it has the possibility. It could use the offline model only as a fallback.

A bit off topic but is there a reason why the Cyrillic letter in the example image is slightly different than the regular “a”? Did someone redraw it from scratch and it looks kind of different or did someone actually take the “a” glyph and
