That’s for Apple services specifically. If I build an iOS app, I can get geo coordinates.

That may be true for things like contacts, but here they have your location, and they use the network. Thus they could hoover that up and store it, even mapping everywhere you go over time in their DB.

Don’t apps self-report this stuff? You presumably need to make a DB query from their backend to see any reportings in a 5mi radius, so at minimum they have your GPS coordinates and IP address (which when combined would uniquely identify you)

I avoid meat/dairy to help the environment, prevent animal cruelty, and improve my health (specifically cholesterol).

I suspect lab-grown meat helps the environment and prevents animal cruelty, but it’s still really dangerous for me to eat, so I still wouldn’t touch it. Seems like a net positive for the world, though.

Man, Beyoncé really let herself go.

It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.

In Japan, in order to register your car you need to prove you have a sufficient parking spot for it (they literally send an inspector to measure the space), or you can drive a tiny Kei car. Maybe we could learn a thing from Japan here.

Farmer’s market tomatoes. I went through my whole life thinking I hated tomatoes. Turns out, I hate grainy tomatoes that taste like nothing, and real tomatoes grown nearby and picked ripe are wonderful.

Costco sells real Canadian maple syrup at a fair price (cost plus a few percent).

I would so much rather buy games from GOG but their Linux integration is just so much worse than Steam Big Picture, and I only play games using Linux from a couch with a controller.

Yes, it works, and I can and have done it for some titles, but it’s nowhere near ideal.

I’m 2 today.

Training won’t change anything. Consequences for shooting a journalist, like a felony conviction and being barred from all law enforcement for the rest of your life, seems like a good and reasonable first step.

No, you still need a phone number to sign up. You can now optionally have a username as well, but a phone number remains a hard requirement.

Make them arrest hundreds of people then. Good luck.

Leave your phone at home! They can remotely track you EVEN WHEN IT’S OFF.

I just want to ride a bike without constant fear of death. LA is statistically one of the most dangerous cities to ride a bike. I don’t care if it’s far—10 miles of sunshine and exercise and not dealing with bumper to bumper traffic sounds great to me, if I’m likely to arrive with my skull still in tact.

That’s the dumbest comment section I’ve ever read.

The Russian trolls are working overtime to justify military action against American people at the objection of the governor and mayor.
