  • I see some apps there that are also in F-Droid

    Is there a big benefit to Obtanium for apps that are also released there? My understanding is that Obtanium doesn't do any key verification of APKs, so I've only used it as a last resort

  • The iPhone 3g would be the first modern "smartphone" from Apple; before that it didn't allow adding more applications, same as the "dumb phones" before it. It just had a capacitive touchscreen and a better web browser

    Even then, the batteries weren't glued in and it was significantly easier to replace

  • Apple got in trouble because they made the processor in the phone get slower as the battery got older, not for any of these 80% battery optimization things (which they also support now, but it was added after their scandal of slowing the processors down)

    They also didn't inform the user, so there was no way an average user could know they could restore their device's old performance with a simple battery replacement

  • In the context of I'm not available and you need to know when to call, sure

    In the context of we're currently talking and trying to plan when we'll talk again, UTC is infinitely easier once you have 5 different people talking

  • The conversation is easier because we have a shared understanding of the time.

    When you ask me can you call me at 13:00, I currently need to google what your timezone is and convert it to my timezone to know whether my sun is up.

    If instead I just know when my sun comes up and goes down in UTC, I can immediately answer if I'm available at 13:00

    Relativity does make space more difficult, but we'll ultimately have to make some shared reference point there, too, as you've pointed out

  • For what it's worth, it seems like it's this "journalist" trying to make a sensational headline

    The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality

    "We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,"

  • -O2 vs -O3 adds -fgcse-after-reload -fipa-cp-clone -floop-interchange -floop-unroll-and-jam -fpeel-loops -fpredictive-commoning -fsplit-loops -fsplit-paths -ftree-loop-distribution -ftree-partial-pre -funswitch-loops -fvect-cost-model=dynamic -fversion-loops-for-strides

    I don't think any of these optimizations require more modern hardware?

  • I've used Matrix since the app was called Riot.im and there was no encryption

    I didn't realize once encryption was added, that there were still metadata leaks as compared to Signal

    Could you give me some information on what metadata is unencrypted, or point me towards documentation about that?
