The reduction in metabolic rate is also negligible ;-) We are talking about ~200 kcal and for many people not even that. And yes there are exceptions. Hypothyroidism for example can yield a bigger reduction, but no more than 300-400 kcal. T

Having calories on food packages helps though, even if it is reductionist, because it's a good surrogate for foods high in energy, low in nutrients, the kind of food that's designed to be overeaten. For whole food, I agree that ca

Proponents of alt-truth theories misunderstand the claim ;-) Yes, we can talk about the thermic effect of food, about how absorption of food differs depending on quality of food, stress, gut health, etc, but on average the effect was measur

Such opinions show a lack of understanding for how science works. Yes, scientists come up with hypotheses all the time, with the only requirement being for them to be falsifiable. And the theories themselves can't be proven as true, si

On that same note Apple's auto-correction really sucks. On my iPhone I replaced the keyboard with SwiftKey b/c I kept making embarrassing mistakes with the default keyboard.

Mozilla cannot enable one provider by default. People already complained that Cloudflare was initially the only choice. Users at the moment are expected to choose their provider anyway. This deal is about Mozilla picking Comcast by default

You can also disable the collection of data completely, or delete the data automatically after 3 months. The later is what I now do. People freak out about what they see in the Google profile, but you have to give them credit for being tran

The web back then was also useless. I know because I was there trying to learn programming, or anything, from the web of 1996-2000 and it was a freaking pain, a garbage dump of poor content filled with banner ads and popups and searching on

When I was on Linux, back in the glory days of Skype, I can tell you that it never worked well — if it worked at all, since I only remember it having support for one or two Ubuntu LTS versions and so on other distributions it was a Hail Mar

Google payed Apple $12 billion in 2019 to remain the default search engine in Safari. I hear this line about their business model all the time, however it is bullshit. Given the opportunity all companies will take the money. And I fear that

The scenario you're speaking of hasn't happened on Android. As a famous example of a popular app that eventually caved into Google's demands is Fortnite [1] and children are tech savvy (or at least motivated) enough to instal

I use uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Firefox's tracking protections. I don't see why not all three. There's actually a lot that Firefox blocks in strict mode. On iOS for example it works like a poor man's ad blocker a

That's irrelevant. If a cookie isn't shared between websites then the analytics software can't easily track you between websites, which is what ITR helps with. Also the publisher has to willingly share that data for use by Ad

No you can't. It's just a web view.

That's not true, "Safari" for iOS Gmail means a shitty in-app web view, not sharing cookies, history or UI with actual Safari, Gmail itself acting as the "browser". This shady behavior (calling a web view "Safa

It's true, Apple products age very well. I don't like iOS much, I hate its restrictions, but this is the number one reason for why I like Apple's products. I'm a previous Android user, my iPhone 8 is almost 3 years old a

There are multiple things you can do with GA of course, like IP anonymization, setting a smaller expiration date for that cookie, etc, however trust in Google Analytics is low and that won't change. Also a lot of websites, especially p

No, that's not what happens on iOS. I'm writing this on a 5 year old device still getting updated. The iOS exploits that have historically allowed the device to be jailbroken have been zero-day vulnerabilities. And I'm assumi

OK, let me put it another way ... iOS too ships with Google as the default search engine and just like on iOS, you can pick a different default on Android too. In fact Android has always allowed for changing all meaningful defaults, not som
