- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 1 week ago:
I’m not the developer, but I do also write app backends for a living so I know there is some nuance that you’re skipping over in your response. But if you have a way to do this completely anonymous on android I’d suggest offering help to the developer who made this.
Something that… links it to the device? Like, a unique ID that Apple can identify?
APNS tokens are linked to the app install and renew on a certain timeline. Already making them not exactly the same as a device identifier.

Edited for further clarification. It’s not about Google, it’s about what Android needs to receive notifications: www.iceblock.app/android
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 1 week ago:
Apple notification identifiers are unique to an app install and regularly change though, so it’s hardly a device identifier.
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 1 week ago:
And the developer needs a device ID for that. Which is their objection: www.iceblock.app/android
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 1 week ago:
Thanks, but I’m not the developer of the app so that’s not really relevant for me.

This is IOS only owing to Android play store collecting a device identifier; the creator wanted complete anonymity
Quote from some other place people were discussing it. Unfortunately no source on it.
- Comment on [JS Required] How Performant are LLM Agents(AI Chatbots) on Real World Work Tasks? They Fail 70% or More of The Time. 2 weeks ago:
We clearly read very different stories, in mine the computers are usually more competent than a 30% success rate.
Imagine if the internet at its inception failed to connect you 70% of the time. It’s not as impressive as most other inventions.
- Comment on How not to lose your job to AI 3 weeks ago:
It can complete coding tasks. But that’s not the same as replacing a developer. In the same way that cutting wood doesn’t make me a carpenter and soldering a wire doesn’t make me an electrician. I wish the AI crowd understood that.

I’m pretty sure the users risked a lot too for this one

Looks like docs.numerique.gouv.fr/home/ except that one is backed by two governments.

Are you looking for docs.docker.com/build/metadata/attestations/?

With the current FAA problems, do y’all really want more things taking off?
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 1 month ago:
Various government and educational entities are using Nextcloud. I guess that severely limits who they can hire.
- Comment on New Meta XR glasses again tipped to land later this year – well ahead of Apple's rumored AR glasses with Apple Intelligence 2 months ago:
This is much more innovative than Google Glass, it’s now in the bottom right corner. That’s what 13 years of innovation looks like. /s
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
What about combining sources? Because in plex I can search all libraries. Mine or external.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
I saw those two when I just searched for them. store.steampowered.com/app/…/Heroes_of_Valor/ might be easier to deal with though.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 2 months ago:
Really loved Battlefield Heroes as a kid. I’d love to play it again

- Comment on Customer is mistakenly accused of text spamming for repeatedly replying STOP to political texts 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure the US has a law that requires people to stop texting you after you send STOP. Additionally, service providers like Amazon will just remove subscriptions if they receive a STOP.
- Comment on Why it's so hard to build a jet engine - by Brian Potter 4 months ago:
It does say “with reusable rockets”, which is technically correct because as far as I know nobody else has reused theirs.
- Comment on Big-tech is evil but could Fediverse benefit from more small/medium for-profit companies? 4 months ago:
FIFA is a non-profit. Doesn’t exactly make them a good organisation.
- Comment on Arc Browser - Changing focus when the main product isn't even finished? 8 months ago:
What I’m reading here is that it is new for a browser to offer all those features. You’d need to do a bunch of customisation to reach a similar result otherwise. It’s fine that people don’t care about it, but that doesn’t make it less new.
- Comment on Arc Browser - Changing focus when the main product isn't even finished? 8 months ago:
I really like the vertical tabs, the split profiles, the quick notes and the mini windows for links from other applications. If there is a prior product with all these features I’d love to try it. Please send a link.
