If it were only Apple's restrictions preventing this, why wouldn't Facebook release such a browser on Android?

Kinda nitpicky. Sure ADTs are a pattern in Typescript rather than a first-class entity, but they're an extremely well-supported pattern, exhaustiveness checking and all. type ADT = | { case : 'a', a : Number }

The two approaches can be combined! You can use AES to generate and store the ExternalId column. As you pointed out, this saves you from having to encrypt/decrypt it on the fly every time, at the cost of an extra lookup and some storag

Didn't Samsung use to sell a docking station for phones? Whatever happened to it? With so much applications moving to the web (eg. gitpod), even an Android phone would make for a suitable desktop.

+1 for Swarm. It's not for hyperscalers and it's got a limited feature set compared to k8s, but it's simple enough that you can really learn how it works and how to make it do what you want even if it's only a small part

Same boat as you - only buying notch-free, de-googlable phones. I'm still happy with my POCO F2 Pro, but if I were to lose it right now I think I would import a Mi Mix 4. Under-display selfie camera is a little downgrade from the pop-u

Odd that the Flip version isn't supported. I thought it was very similar.

So it's more compact in your pocket, which is where space is most at a premium. Tallness doesn't make phones uncomfortable to hold (width does), it just makes them poke out of your pockets.

I was inaccurate, sorry. My devices only run either Linux or rooted LineageOS, but I do run some hostile Big Tech apps on them like WhatsApp or Tinder. However, I use tools like TrackerControl and Insular to prevent them from calling hosts

I imagine the GNU answer would be that you shouldn't run hostile / nonfree software on your machines, and you should simply be able to tell your software not to contact undesired servers (via configuration or, worst case scenario,

How does the EU force an American company to break up? (Not a rhetorical question) Perhaps they might pull a China and require them to open a 51% EU-owned subsidiary to do business here, which would then be subject to all sort of restrictio
