Chips and beer have gotten me through many events.

My bonus just came in today. Was planning to order one of these this week. Not sure of I'll wait to see what's happening at PAX. All they've said so far is that Steam will be there.

I bet O'Brien is a Giliac.

Probably don't need to scrape it. Just query WikiData for it

When I migrated emails last time, I setup my old email to automatically forward to the new email. Then on my new email, I setup an automatic label for any email that was addressed to the old address. Every week or two I'd review what was sent to it and either update the email address used or unsubscribe. Eventually it got to a level where I wasn't getting much at the old email anymore and finally deleted it.

Ah, so it isn't just me. I had noticed this myself recently.

I believe Steve has said that he hates the title/thumbnails too. But Google's algorithms heavily incentives them, so he reluctantly uses them while maintaining the good quality content.

Apple did say that. This app was a copied from an open source GBA emulator loaded up with ads and user tracking. I'm guessing that's the reason they removed it.

The issue lies with Google's FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) system, so it's not something GrapheneOS can really fix. As far as I know FCM doesn't offer a way to encrypt notification content. Some apps like Signal work around this by instead of sending the message content, they send a little "wake up" notification. This tells Signal on your phone to wake up and it goes and retrieves the new message.

If you don't install Google Play Services, you won't be impacted. But you'll also not get notifications for most applications. There is an alternative push notification system called UnifiedPush which allows you to choose any server to handle your notifications (and even self host it). But it does require both the service and the app to support it, so it's not very wide spread yet.

That's not entirely true. It's only very recently that browsers have started using a new system called Encrypted Client Hello which hides the domain of the request. Prior to this all requests needed too have the Host field unencrypted so the receiving server knows which certified to respond with. I imagine there's still quite a few servers which don't support the new setup still.

1. We get paid $70 per weekday and $105 per weekend. I think it's $140 for public holidays.
2. Eh, it can be a bit annoying at times. It's pretty easy to swap with people as needed. I believe we're allowed to opt out of it too, some of the other devs have. Since we've started it we've tuned our monitoring scripts that false alarms are pretty rare.
3. Any time spent on incidents is rounded up to 15m. Which can make it feel quite unworth it if you get an alert in the middle of the night. Unsurprisingly since they reduced down from an hour it's taken at least 16m to investigate any alert.
4. We've got a decent number of people on rotation that I'm only on call about three weeks a year.
5. Australia

I second this. Especially useful as you could be following an exact or similarly named community and not notice it's on a different instance.
