What’s the actual use case for this that’s not malicious? When would someone want to generate a fake satellite image of a selectable area? Is it for architects that want to visuali…

You don’t need internet to run JS though. And the JS seems to be pretty sandboxed in normal viewers too, so a pdf file shouldn’t make network requests on its own. As long as there …

Even when drunk? I’m not saying it’s a real danger (people willing to do that could already do a lot of other stuff) but I wouldn’t be so sure that you couldn’t do it either.

It would have helped to write that when talking about the review.

Do you seriously not see how this misunderstanding is coming about though? If you write a blog post over a negative review accusing you of nagging, I would expect you to say “actua…

> My opinion is low of them all. Sounds like a you problem, people like them and find them useful, so I doubt they’ll be going away. > One important difference is that Google does …

How is that baseless? If someone says “hey, this guy has a nag screen” and your response is “but everybody does it!”, it’s not baseless to think you have a bag screen without check…

> complaining that my app requested a rating… like the majority of other apps in the App Store! But your paid for app does request a rating when using it? That’s what people call a…

Why would you ever need that? I’m pretty sure you can already supply a custom explanation in the system permission modal to explain why you want the permission.

If I enter Madrid and Milan in Google Maps and select walking, it does show some footpaths to take, no? Those don’t look like major roads. Don’t know how to share the route without…

> Modern European pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago seem to do about 20 km/day [1] and it's considered tiring but accessible by average people, not serious hikers. Yeah, because t…

I don’t think the Roman street system way covered in dense bush, that was kind of the point

Are there no bike paths or foot paths close by? You don’t literally have to walk on the street the cars are using.

> On X, Orochi said they went undercover to investigate the love hotel and found the Famicombox installed in every single room except for one. I wonder if they really had info on t…

> The tool is called OmnesViae (Omnesviae.org (source in Spanish)) I’m pretty sure the page is in Latin for me

Isn’t assumption 1 (“It is possible for technology to simulate consciousness and human civilization at scale”) covered by outcome 1 (“Civilizations end before they can start simula…

Yeah, the correct position if you believe the argument in the article is agnosticism.

That doesn’t prove it doesn’t send data if it has the possibility. It could use the offline model only as a fallback.

A bit off topic but is there a reason why the Cyrillic letter in the example image is slightly different than the regular “a”? Did someone redraw it from scratch and it looks kind …
