Huh? That's not even remotely true, go read it again (and not just one of the table images this time). All it requires of sleep mode is that it be configured to go to ACPI S3 within 30 minutes of inactivity. If it does not go to S3,

> The poorer the insulation (southern homes' insulation is crap compared to northern) the more you need to pump the aircon. Insulation can only do so much when the outdoor temperature doesn't drop below 80F for weeks at a time.

Yeah, you're not wrong, but that's also caused (at least partially) by poor situational eyesight.

I don't know about "all of your data", but yes, it is certainly abundantly clear that you are making your location and other information which appears on your - and everyone else's - profile public.

Eh? Guess you aren't in the US.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but nowhere on whitepages.com is there a phonebook-esque listing of names and numbers. (Not for free, anyway.) I never said that it wasn't possible now. All I said was that it was just as possible the

If you really think the encryption will never ("eternally") be broken, I have sad news for you: it will.

Encryption can be (and in fact certainly will be, given enough time) broken.

No, you could not "opt out" of being listed in the phone book. You could pay to be removed. Furthermore, usefulness does not equal consent.

What do you think makes it impossible today?

It is abundantly clear that you are making certain info public when you use Grindr.

It's why deer-vehicle crashes are so common. Deer are pretty fast, and don't have any reason to stand in a road (there's nothing for them to graze, after all). But if they're crossing the road when you come along and you

They wouldn't read my email until after they reported it... so then I'd get two emails from each person: one saying there's an issue, and another saying "oh sorry just read your email that you already know about it"

If YOU don't want it, you can turn it off. That's the beauty of open-source. You are clearly trying to argue that they should not include any sort of telemetry - that everyone shares your expectations.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Do you think that most not-hobby FOSS projects are somehow 'profiteered' by freeloading companies who own them but don't invest any time or labor into them?

It's amazing how much better an old, fuzzy copper landline was than my phone with VoLTE/VoIP turned off. (Or to someone else on a cell phone without either...)

You also pay more for Google's consumer storage than for Google's "Cloud Storage".

Google already has a lot of the infrastructure and labor needed.

That is clearly referring to a buyer of their company and clearly indicates that your data still can't be sold.

It already doesn't require root, nor does it necessarily break your environment variables.

That's easy, since you have control over trusted CAs. And also, not true; it could be done in the TLS library.

I mean, you can easily see what the DSN is in any distributed version. This isn't a SaaS. And by the way, it's not a key; it's not even remotely secret.

Good luck; Sentry doesn't document significant parts of their API.
