Why are there so few open source weather apps for iOS, compared to the very many that are on Android?
  • haha not at all, it's moreso that it seems like the open source weather app category has a particularly large gap in options on iOS vs Android compared to other categories, which I found strange. But I can see why the usual factors are causing it, as other commenters mentioned.

  • Yeah but with blocking, the user is made aware that they were blocked and can then try to circumvent it by making another account and whatnot. With mute aka "personal shadowban", the user isn't aware they were muted and will just keep using that same account to harass, not realizing that their target isn't seeing their crap.

  • To be fair, Musk said you’d still be able to mute users, which means you wouldn’t see any of their posts or replies, but they can see your posts.

    It’s like you’re shadow banning them from your own app experience lol

    How Canada poached 10,000 tech workers from the U.S. — in just 48 hours
  • Giving more options to H1B visa tech workers is great! In order for Canada to compete for all tech talent in the US though (including US citizens), Canadian tech companies will need to have much better salaries.

    Top physicist says chatbots are just ‘glorified tape recorders’
  • What’s a physicist going to know about machine learning and AI?

    Is the logic really “he has a smart sounding job therefore he knows stuff about other smart sounding things”?

    Idiotic headline written by slimey journalists to cater to knuckledraggers.
