Lungs are one of the most effective ways of distributing disease. You'd be shocked at how many people get sick and die because LUNGS! We should immediately do away with lungs!

I know almost nothing about trademark violation and agree it's likely a risk. I'm in the U.S. though.

We should be eagerly sacrificing bank apps anyway. If your bank treats you with hostility, time to get a new bank.

How did that work out for you? Safer? What was the experience switching, for you and for your kid?

Edit: I've just run across the antisemitic defacement in the "stumble" feature and it makes the timing of my post appear pretty unfortunate. It's especially sad because the ability to create articles through URL slugs is super cool and I'd hate to see it removed.

It's hard to vote with your dollar when market economics are such that only a handful of (massive) firms sell almost all of thing you're protesting. What leverage does one have in the age of oligopolistic enshittification?

How does someone break into that field. I have a buddy who used to announce pro sports ( he's sort of famous for it ) that wants this kind of work.

They no longer prohibit phones during the film. In fact, now they require one to place an order. This has just started and is rolling out to every market. It completely undermined their entire value proposition. Alamo Drafthouse is a walking corpse.

Alamo food and service have absolutely tanked over the last year. They no longer prohibit phones during the film. In fact, now they require one to order food. They have completely undermined their entire value proposition. Alamo Drafthouse is a walking corpse.

> Each SDK might be tattling on you, but unless you give them a key to match you across apps, each signal from each app is unique

Aren't there many examples of these? For example IMEI, IMSI, phone number, etc?

Even without "unique" signals, isn't it fairly trivial to identify a user with a handful of "not very unique" signals? User-agent, a few recent IP addresses, browser capabilities, list of installed apps, device operating system properties, etc?

Not in software though. Clear precedent has been established via EULAs. Software companies set the rules and if users don't like, they can piss off. I don't see why it would be any different for the government.

That is speculation. You might be correct but this statement could simply be a strong signal to the administration to back down. A hail Mary.
