Re:New Beeper Android app – Open beta test on Sunday March 17, 2024 @09:30PM (#39739713)
Why do we need a Google account for this service ? What's the point of allowing an app to be independent and E2EE if everything is also linked to Google Accounts? When will the software community stop automatically utilizing the most dominate services for every implementation Is there a service similar to Beeper that doesn't require a Google account?
Re:The Enhanced Game – Sports, without drug testing on Wednesday October 18, 2023 @08:27PM (#37936684)
The majority of top level athletes are doping and not getting caught. You're delusional if you believe otherwise. There are even approved medical doping practices in sports, where athletes are given legal consent to use steroids and PEDs. As an example, note the uptick in football (soccer) players being asthmatic? Why? Because the asthma medications increase performance on the field. It's everywhere! Those that believe athletes aren't cheating are only people not involved in sports and unaware of the realities it takes to achieve those levels of performance. If you're not doping, you're not winning, whether it's drug tested or not. There's literally drug test avoidance coaches all over. Entire industries for it. Common knowledge isn't the same as truth.
