"Not my problem" code

I believe you can do this with DAVx5. I have calendars syncing to fossify with it.

I feel like the comment was sarcastic. At least, that's how I read it in my head.

Last time I used Authy, you had to sync codes to another device, IIRC. Still, most peoples' phones have a lot more than just auth codes on them. My warning was meant to address all those other data, too.

But now that I think about it, wiping and rooting a fresh/temporary device, syncing Authy, exporting with Aegis, then importing back to your main device would work...

If you have a rooted phone, Aegis can import from several other apps, including Authy, automatically.

But don't try to root your unrooted phone to unlock that capability. Rooting requires wiping the device, so you lose your data in the process.

Yes. And some states (e.g. Washington) already have.

The governing documents may not prohibit the installation of a solar energy panel by an owner or resident on the owner's or resident's property [...]

Some people just prefer to care for their little digital dolphin in peace.

company where every single employee has control/voting rights

Isn't that called a co-op? I hear those tend to do well.

The current trajectory of AI produced media is pointing toward personalized content. Every viewer would have their own exclusive shows and movies. This sounds great on the surface, but is actually mostly terrible.

Media today brings people together, by watching movies together or discussing the latest episode of a new series. With personalized content, not only will none of your friends have seen the show you're watching, but they won't even be able to see it; it lives only in your account on some proprietary streaming service and might even have been generated on-the-fly, never to be seen again.

Additionally, you can be certain that any company producing AI-generated content will put their own biases into it as much as possible. When streaming services push out competition in favor of in-house generated content, viewers will only have access to content skewed one way, further polarizing people based on which service they watch. With personalized content, those biases become much harder to scrutinize, because no two people can watch the same piece of content to compare opinions or analysis.

Finally, if you step back and consider the purpose of watching video content, it's mostly for entertainment. A moderate amount of varied entertainment can be healthy to unwind or pass the time, but an infinite source of "perfect" content encourages unhealthy media habits like binge-watching, and is unlikely to challenge the viewer's beliefs or support their mental health. Distress drives engagement, as social media has proven.

Once studios can produce fully AI generated movies, personalized media won't be far behind. Cheap AI generated personalized media is coming. If it takes hold, it'll push us all further apart.

I hope none of these predictions come to pass, but we'll see whether good intentions win over money this time.

In Opera Mini, yes. They also had a less popular but nearly identical browser, Opera Mobile, which didn't do the proxying and compression. I had an unlimited data plan back then, so I always used Mobile. The performance was great even without compression.
