Re:All the red flags in the Threads privacy policy on Thursday July 06, 2023 @11:19PM (#36626664)
The App Store page for Threads lists “Health & Fitness” under the Analytics and App Functionality sections of App Privacy.

I am completely unfamiliar with what that implies or what access would actually be allowed, but I can see how that would raise concern.

The difference is in the headline, not the body text.
It's still up, but it looks like the certificate expired.

You're right. What what bothers me most is not the stopping — it's the maintenance required.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm also caffeine sensitive and unwittingly built up a tolerance as a teenager.

I realized the degree of my caffiene sensitivity when I had to give it up. Just quitting my one cup of coffee a day was rough. (The headaches!)

Now that I should be able to consume caffiene again, I can scarcely look at black tea without my heart racing. I really miss good coffee and it's effects, so I'm thinking about doing just this myself.

It's hard to start however, now that I know that I'm basically cultivating an addiction.

For the upcoming 2.0 release, they are actually planning to rebrand as “Regolith Desktop Environment,” as well as adding Debian support.
