Real programmers test in production.

Manage Technical Debt: Focus on minimizing immediate blockers and plan for potential future issues.

This is a tough one the bigger the project gets. Might be the toughest one.

A single play session isn’t actually all that long, as others have said. It’s about 25-50 minutes depending on how familiar you are with the monster. You also don’t have to interact with all the systems at once initially, pick one thing and try it out. There’s no real penalty for failing besides having to re-do the mission that you failed.

Java isn’t as verbose as Appkit/UIKit, I think. Take a look: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/nstextselectiondatasource https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nstextinputclient

Can we do this for everything that collects data without user consent?

The C in Cmake maybe stands for cat. It would make sense.

Oh, shit. Step on it! Quick!

Cats really are liquid.

Consuming sucrose or fructose also results in fat being generated in the liver. It’s like alcohol and less than ideal.

I tried for a while to think of their place but there’s nothing I would say is absolutely necessary. What is their place?

It’s more nuanced than that. In the case of sugary drinks however, since they are really easy to make, you won’t even need a black market.

These are all strategies that have already been adopted in China, they will block it like everything else.

Why not use the English word for an entity that resides in the USA: American?

That is some fantastic sleuthing, well done.

If it’s a small but loud group of unpleasant people on the internet, can’t we just do what we’ve always done and ignore them?

The picture says “No Smartphones Allowed.” Doesn’t seem entirely right…

De-googling inherently causes functionality loss on Android because Google provides a lot of basic services via things like the Google Services Framework. It might be best for you to buy something cheap (secondhand Pixel?), install LineageOS, and then see how you like that before committing to something costly like an Xperia, especially since you’re coming from iOS.

Premium phones make little sense, based on what I’ve seen everyone puts them in cases anyway. “Premium materials” are slippery and “premium thinness” results in insufficient battery capacity so accessories like phone rings get put on them, and people carry around external battery packs.

Why not just make a grippy, practical phone that I can use as a tool, with removable batteries, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and expandable memory?

It really does not. I use an external device connected via Bluetooth to achieve this on GrapheneOS, and others use home automation.

Edit: that thread isn’t what I’m referring to. There was a larger one, perhaps on their github, with a link to a blogpost about why charge limiting “isn’t necessary” being cited as the justification for why the rom doesn’t have the feature. Either way, it’s frustrating to read and best ignored.
