Well, if you don't trust this person you are downloading your app from, can you expect them to keep your messages private and secure? It already says when you would use such functionality("might be useful during internet shutdowns

The data would be in the server database not in memory hogged by state for each client's active connection. I seriously don't understand server-side rendering when toasters are more powerful than a mid tier pc i bought 15yrs ago.

No it isn't, even the govt apps in my country have ads in them. With firefox i can easily block them, for apps this becomes much harder, if dns blocking isn't sufficient.

I didn't realize compilers waste human time, but okay keep complaining about it all the time.

It is a interesting debate to have but this is unlikely to happen for consumer hardware, since no OEM wants you to have that kind of access(talking of those phone SoCs), they will just give you a slice of ccNUMA to protect their "IP&qu

Why do the content owners restrict to particular country? It makes no sense to me. Do they lose money by doing this?
