I can “enter a phone number to start a new chat” on iOS, with a big warning about contacts on top.

Makes sense, thanks.

I would have settled for something like the Instagram “iPad app”: a phone-sized rectangle in the middle of a black background. Alas, they don’t even allow that, hence all the fake crap you can easily download by mistake. And the web app is

What are some example sites where this is both necessary and sufficient? In my experience sites with serious anti-bot protection basically always have JavaScript-based browser detection, and some are capable of defeating puppeteer-extra-plu

No one's talking about "anonymous usage data". The topic at question is primary data available to first party apps (even if they remain on device), often synced to iCloud and available to say, Siri. I'm sure I accepted a

I had to contact someone in Europe so I started using WhatsApp. It does work without granting access to contacts, but it seems I can't even assign a name to a number without the contacts permission, so thousands of messages later the c

They certainly don’t. We’re talking about apps like Phone, Messages, Photos, Files and system stuff like app tracking (Screen Time etc.).

I only settled on Alacritty after giving all the new and supposedly fast terminal emulators a spin (at least a day for various tasks).

You wouldn’t realize because 24-bit colors are silently dropped. You don’t get the full experience but you also won’t “run into any issues”, unless you start using something that relies on 24-bit color coding for core functionality, like my

Do you have a lot of triggers set up in iTerm 2? IMO that’s what kills performance. I can understand being frustrated about latency on older Macs — I used to run Alacritty for certain tasks on my Intel Macs for that reason. But on newer Mac

I know there are some open source Mac apps sold for a couple bucks but you can also build for yourself. That said, I assumed it’s fairly well-trodden mostly because FSF for as long as I can remember approved/recommended something along

Okay yeah appears to be heavily geolocked. Still a lot of information otherwise.

Yeah I know this is a fairly well-trodden model recommended by FSF (okay, maybe I shouldn’t have called it kinda strange). I’m not confident it works out in most cases, though. So I’m wondering if it’s intentional in this case.

The code is indeed entirely AGPL, I looked at license headers in the specific files implementing paid features. I wonder if it’s an oversight. See my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42514304 for details.

The licensing is kind of strange. Self-hosted syncing is supposedly a paid feature, and there are indeed license checks in the code, but unlike your typical open core product with a separately licensed ee/ directory, this one including
