  • Really has virtually no battery life impact (this from 15 years of testing many phones and configurations). Perhaps 1% in 24 hours, I’d have to look at my stats.

    May have a slight privacy impact, but given the overall data collection out there, probably unmeasurable. That said, I do turn mine off a lot for the same reason, I just don’t believe it really makes a difference



  • Which “white people” are you talking about?

    Irish? Scottish? Italians? How about Sicilian? Are Roma white to you? Greek?

    See, that’s the problem with pre-judging someone just on immutable characteristics that you believe mean a certain thing.

    Throughout time groups of people have been biased against other groups, for all sorts of reasons, largely just “out group”.

    Assuming that only goes one way, and assuming based on skin color alone (again, exactly which color, is there a Pantone code for “white people”?) that everyone in that assumed group have the same experience is just nonsense. Or bias, prejudice, bigotry. Pick whichever you like.





  • I have a list of the OSS apps I use, on Linux, Windows and Android. Some already have some pay mechanism, but I like to donate once a year.

    It’s like I’m paying for a software license for stuff that I find indispensible, e.g. Syncthing-Fork, Ditto (windows clipboard utility), Advanced Renamer, Linkwarden, etc.
