Very good. I was going for The Woman with Half Her Leg Missing but Footloose is fantastic. I salute you.

I think the problem with every survey I’ve seen is that it does something like

<20 20-30 30-45 45+

Photons are massless and along with other massless particles are known as Luxons because they always travel at the speed of light. But notice that the speed of light varies depending on the medium that light is crossing. (Eg 300,000 m/s in a vacuum . 200,000 m/s in glass)

So you could certainly transmit data faster than light through glass by simply transmitting it in a vacuum. But there’s little practical use except perhaps gravity wave detectors.

There are a class of particles that always travel slower than light (unless you accelerate them with infinite energy) and also a theoretical and controversial class of particles that travel at infinite speed and would require infinite energy to slow them to light speed. (If they did exist no means has ever been postulated to detect them)

I think the count is removed in Lemmy 0.19, so apps are dropping it as they update?

I’d like to see the long promised redo of Control Centre and Notification Centre.

Actually it’s not compatible with the new authentication method in Lemmy 0.19 so as soon as that rolls out to your instance you’ll not be able to log in and there will be missing posts and problems with the list of communities.

Some instances have already upgraded.

I hadn’t noticed them before, but if you take a screenshot and zoom in a little you can see them. Once you’ve seen them you can’t avoid them. I’m not sure I would say they are jagged more like extra pixels. (iPhone 12)

This is true. When I checked on this about five years ago (in the UK), the cost per message was about £0.00001

With the reduction in the number of SMS sent, it now costs more to bill them. In the UK, even the cheapest monthly contract has unlimited calls and texts. There a pre-pay tariffs as low as £3 a month with calls, texts and some data.

I think the situation is:

Lemmy V0.19 uses a different authentication method to 0.18 and earlier.

It isn’t possible for a web app to know the Lemmy version initially.

So a web app can be compatible either with 0.18 or 0.19.

When most instances have updated to 0.19 or higher then the web app will switch to 0.19 only

Native apps aren’t affected

An app can only do anything with the data you give it access to. It can’t collect new data while it’s closed.

If it’s running in the background it can collect data but only if you’ve given it permission. For example you might give an execrable app permission to record your heart rate, number of steps etc.

It’s not drying that causes leaves to go brown. The plant actively pumps its waste products into leaves which turns them brown. Also some leaves can oxidise when damaged.

Slightly off topic, but the number of bits doesn’t necessarily describe the size of memory. For example most eight bit processors had 16bit data busses and address registers.

Some processors that were 32 bits internally have 24bit memory addressing.
