Here are the trackers contained in Yelp's app according to Exodus:

  • Adjust (analytics)
  • Braze (formerly Appboy) (analytics advertisement location)
  • Brightcove
  • Bugsnag (crash reporting)
  • ComScore (analytics advertisement)
  • Facebook Analytics (analytics)
  • Facebook Login (identification)
  • Google AdMob (advertisement)
  • Google Firebase Analytics (analytics)
  • Snowplow (analytics)

That's a lot. They make money off of people having their app running on their phone. That's why they push their app.

It was exactly the reason I was thinking

I'm talking about the 2005 game.

I've stopped buying EA games when they turned Battlefield 2 into a pay-to-win game back in the mid-2000's. But I remember distinctly how bad EA was with those stupid unskippable splash screens. My guess is that they've never improved, from what I can see. What's the point of those anyway, other than annoy your players and make them hate your company?

This. This is how you tell that letting the job market "self-regulate" does NOT work.

The shooting the lock thing is dependent on how much energy the bullet has. A pistol? It will probably not work. A rifle? It will likely destroy it.

In the design committee:

Overpaid Corporate idiot: "make it AI!"

Engineer: "uuh.. do you even know what that means?"

Overpaid Corporate idiot: "investors love AI, just do it!"

Engineer: "Ok, sure."

Aptera is actually betting it all on efficiency. Not only it reduces the battery size required, but it also makes regarding faster and solar recharging more viable. If you only use it for short commuting, you don't even need to plug it in anymore. Just leave it parked outside in the sun.

Meanwhile the rest of the EV industry is sitting in the corner eating glue with their stupidly huge, heavy and inefficient SUVs and trucks that waste resources to make batteries. Elon being the worst with his moronic cybertruck.

Projection once again. Only one of them actually vowed to be a dictator on day one. And it ain't Kamala.

I guess that's one way to distract away from the fact that you can't afford to repair your fender bender.

NGL, I've spent a decade wondering why I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't concentrate all day, only to finally realize I was constantly low on electrolytes because of my intense exercise routine.

And if anyone is wondering, sports drinks are worthless sugary drinks shrouded in "sporty" marketing. Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium is what helped me (and are far more cost efficient than sports drinks). Consult a doctor.

With a +10 ring of Arcana, stepping on grass grants you 32.5 turns of invisibility.

Attacking with the blooming scythe spawns a ton of grass as well.

And as the assassin, spending 9 turns while invisible provides a guaranteed one shot kill.

Deadly combo.

Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.

How do you use the crossbow? Every attempt I've made to use it results in it being used as a melee weapon.

One of the most overpowered builds I've ever encountered without using a Ring of Wealth. You spend most of your time being invisible and surprise attack enemies before retreating to the forest you created by attacking them with your Blooming bow or your wand of Regrowth, making you invisible again. No vegetation around? Just use the blindweed-infused greaves of nature to disappear.

Seed: VGB-RKB-RJM. Contains an early +1 ring of haste, ring of sharpshooting and a +2 greataxe later on. Plenty more high level wands as well along the way.

I am running multiple screens from different brands. Because they are not the same, they must be set to different brightness values to look the same.

The problem is that whenever I boot up, the Plasma brightness setting is changed, or Night Light kicks in, Plasma sets all my screens to the same value. This results in one screen being too bright and the other too dark. Every time this happens I must change the value back manually in my screen's built-in menu, which is annoying.

In the Gamma settings panel there appears to be an upcoming feature where different screens can be set to different values but it is grayed out for the moment (running Plasma 6.0.4 on Tumbleweed).

How do I disable this feature while I'm waiting for the ability to set individual brightness values to individual screens to come around?

I have had a three strange bugs and glitches happen to me on my GrapheneOS Pixel 7 today. First my e-mail account (FairEmail) stopped working properly and required a device reboot to fix. Then later in the day my home WIFI accounts set themselves to 'disabled' without my input, something that never happened before. And just now my cameras wouldn't work in both of the camera apps I am running and I had to reboot once again to fix it. This is very weird because I've never had problems like that before and now I've gotten 3 in the same day.

I'm hoping that it's not a hardware issue. I've had this phone for only 1 year. Anyone else started experiencing strange issues like this recently?
