This is fascinating as I didn’t even know about it for one, and for two it’s based on having legal standing as a customer of the product, not the developer of the GPL code. I’ll be interested to see where this goes.

Tracking can and is done with both by 3rd parties.

Not the best link, but Schiphol airport as a public example.

Not all care, but it still impacts them.

Rhythms at the bottom of the deep sea: Cyclic current flow changes and melatonin patterns in two species of demersal fish

Beyond this, the diurnal cycle does filter down into the disphotic zone and does influence species. It does weaken with depth.

Local send works well for me between android and iDevices in most cases. I will say it struggles with VPN’ed connections, which is by design of the network and some VPN will block local connections.

I know sharedrop.io uses a similar web based model as pairdrop and runs into the same VPN issue, but I’m curious if the room function might overcome that in pairdrop.

I’ve been working with this issue for along time. Trying to find something platform agnostic and works with vpns.

App wise, I suggest Localsend for files

Information wise, I suggest Saladroom although there are several alternatives as well like ToffeeShare and ShareDrop

I mostly use Signal though, as it’s the simplest at hand app which fairly reliably makes it accessible to my various devices… With the downside of storing it.

Trying to find independent analysis that I read, but can’t find it. This will likely have the most impact on swing voters in the 7 states, which are the most important voters in the US. Everyone else is much more likely to have already made their mind up. And remember about 50-66% of the registered voters in the US actually vote even in a presidential year, although the electoral college complicates the proportional representation of those voters.

From Washington post article

With 158 days until Election Day, he is fighting for a plurality of 30 million voters in seven battleground states — a far cry from the tens of thousands of Iowa party activists he courted a year ago. His advisers have long feared that a felony conviction could hurt Trump with independent voters, particularly skeptical suburban women. In places such as the Atlanta suburbs, those voters cost him the 2020 election.

Why yes, we even had a balrog…

The link sending is a bit convoluted, but once you figure it out it is a beautiful app.

As comment in thread points out, the subpoenaed info was essentially useless.
