As someone who uses your extension daily, I truly appreciate your strong will. It seems every day strong ethics become harder to maintain in our field.
If you enjoy supernatural, I highly recommend PowerBeatsVR. It's not nearly as polished as supernatural, but the workout configuration options are very effective, plus no subscription fees.
Just tried andisearch and am extremely impressed. It has so far handled all queries I have thrown at it better than brave search and DDG. Will continue to experiment, best of luck and awesome work!
Thank you! I really do sincerely appreciate that. If you'd like to, please reach out to us there because we'd love to chat more. It wasn't my intention to take the discussion off-topic here because this thread is so incredibly interesting, but at the same time it's super encouraging to see the unprompted feedback and questions, and we'll share what we're doing properly on HN soon so we can address questions properly.
I only know one guy who's written in depth about this, Tony Heller. Here's one example article but click through the titles at the top and there are others. At some point I downloaded the raw data tables from a NASA (or was it NOAA? I forget) FTP site and re-ran one of his analyses, which was valid, so that increased my confidence in the graphs he presents.
He shows the data has been heavily altered in various ways. Sometimes he shows it by finding and downloading "raw" data tables and graphing them over the top of the publicly released graphs. Sometimes by searching newspaper or web archives for old temperature graphs and showing that the historical data in modern graphs has been altered vs what was once being published.
Very occasionally other people notice this too. Retraction Watch is a blog that normally just writes about retracted scientific papers but here they noticed that July was reported as the hottest on record, but that the same government agency had previously reported another record breaking temperature that was higher than July's:
How is it possible for a temperature to "break records" when it is lower than previously reported temperatures? NOAA explains:
"NOAAGlobalTempv5 is a reconstructed dataset, meaning that the entire period of record is recalculated each month with new data. Based on those new calculations, the new historical data can bring about updates to previously reported values. These factors, together, mean that calculations from the past may be superseded by the most recent data and can affect the numbers reported in the monthly climate reports."
This is normal for climatology. When a new month's data is added they don't just append it to the prior data tables. They re-calculate every temperature in the dataset using the latest modelling software. Climatology, as a science, cannot actually tell us "how hot was it on this day 10 years ago" because there are many different answers.
This is already a terrible, terrible problem for their credibility. But the worst thing of all is that these adjustments are so large that they materially change the entire shape of the 20th century temperature history. Decades ago, global temperature graphs showed a long period of declines starting around WW2. Hence why global cooling was such a big topic in the 60s (incidentally, Heller's site shows ample archival evidence that this was indeed mainstream climatology back then). But if you look at modern temperature graphs, you cannot see any such decline. It's been erased from the historical record.
2048 truly is the epitome of mobile games for me. Simple, translates well to a touch screen and most importantly no ads or micro transactions. My one gripe is I can't compete with my wife's high score.
As someone who had an Evo with custom FW back in the day, I can attest the process is much simpler in recent years. If you do your research and ensure the device you are purchasing has official lineage support, the entire setup procsss takes less than an hour. Lineage includes built in update support as well, although to upgrade between major versions you still need to use a computer if I remember correctly.
I purchased my first iPhone since the 3G this year, and it is currently for sale on swappa. I am willing to compromise on a slightly less polished UI and subpar camera to get the UX of android back; at least for me, iOS was lacking many features I could consider essential.
This year I purchased my first iPhone since the 3G, after today I am starting to regret that decision. At this point, I can only hope Linux on mobile picks up steam.
My solution ended up being a mix of Backblaze B2 buckets, Nextcloud (linked to B2 using S3 Nextcloud features) and FileBrowser Pro on IOS (which is much faster than Nextcloud for photo upload, links directly to Backblaze). Costs me less than 10 cents a month at this point.
I just purchased FileBrowser Pro for my iPad, but after adding my Backblaze B2 bucket i just get an authorization error.
Recreated the keys, still not working…
