Gotta add a portion for taking a leak after all the drinks, and another for leaking things via Signal.

I’ve had bad luck with Linux automatically using the dGPU even though I have to do this because I’m using a Tesla P4 which doesn’t have display output.

You’re right, it’s really “The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel”

Also has a Nobel Prize (something he downplays).

Decent substack too.

My first thought was how ears and noses look red when sunlight shines through them. If blood was blue, wouldn’t they be blue or purple?

That’s wild to me cos like… We didn’t need internet to tell us this was incorrect.

Ostensibly, that’s because the app wants Bluetooth and/or WiFi access so it can connect to the printer. Because you can use WiFi and Bluetooth to determine location (based on large crowd sourced databases of these data points that have been geolocated), the OS has to ask for location permission as well, even if you just need to see WiFi and Bluetooth.

That being said, once they have this permission, I have 0 doubt they log the actual location as well…

Mozilla used to run a free service for this, and collected that data in the background using mobile Firefox. A replacement is https://beacondb.net/, which is still building enough location data to become useful. Services like this aren’t nefarious, they’re actually really important in getting a quick GPS lock on mobile. Phone hardware actually have pretty poor GPS receivers, but if you can determine an approximate location prior, you get much better results, especially once supplemented with inertial measurements and snapping to mapped roads.
