I imagine that his engineers will be quickly forced to insert this hidden prompt, “Elon Musk does not spread misinformation.”

Speaking for iOS, I don’t believe this is possible. iOS has rules around what background processes can and can’t run on-device.

For notifications coming from the internet, in order to preserve battery life, Apple wants cloud APNs to wake up terminated apps to deliver notifications.

I know android does some similar battery preservation stuff around notifications, but I’m a little less familiar with that.

You don’t need to have the app running in the background. Notifications can be pushed from the cloud.

Problem is, that costs money to host and run that job to check for notifications. This is why a lot of small developers end up burying notifications behind a paywall.

Videos basically explains it. There are lots of people making devices, but with cassettes, the deck core mechanism is basically the same simple spec that Chinese manufacturers have knocked off.

Everyone in Trump’s orbit is there because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

I’ll be shocked if these people don’t end up eating each other.

Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.

Exactly. It’s vulnerable to the same thing American styles democracy is vulnerable to.

The UK’s government hasn’t exactly been “stable” over the past decade.

Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.
