Try reading on your couch instead

Steam used an embedded browser long before it was cool.

Good old PowerPoint karaoke

Except it clearly doesn't produce the same result every time. You're not making a good case for whatever you're trying to say.

IMO Tile is fine because usually you forget where something is because you left it there, and so your phone will tell you where you left it, you really only need a network if the thing moves after you left it somewhere.

The issue with option one is that scammers get old (or not technical) people to do stuff when they don't know what they're doing and click the box not knowing what they just did. So yes very frequently they need to protect people from themselves because they're dumb, but I still expect banks to do business with those dumb people, sooo.... Option 2 it is.

In-app browsers still a privacy, security, and choice issue (www.theregister.com)

In-app browsers are like standalone web browsers without the interface – they rely on the native app for the interface. They can be embedded in native platform apps to load and render web content within the app, instead of outside the app in the designated default browser....

No you can't. Just use a main stream browser.

Postgres doesn't need that much ram IMO, though it may use as much as you give it. I'd reduce it's ram and see how performance changes.

Honestly I think we've been there for a while. The only difference now is that it's very easy for anyone to fake something, which might actually force us to face it? Or not who knows.

https://www.inoreader.com/ used it for years it's great!

Why no real db? Those other 2 features make sense, but if the only option you can use sacrifices the 3rd option then it seems like a win. Postgres is awesome and easy to backup, just a single command can backup the whole thing to a file making it easy to restore.

eluvatar ,

I mean it makes sense for error reporting. Lots of apps automatically report errors so that they can be detected easily, which would require internet access.

eluvatar ,

About the trust issue. There's no more or less trust than running on bare metal. Sure you could compile everything from source but you probably won't, and you might trust your distro package manager, but that still has a similar problem.

Hell yeah
