It's just s dumb as storing dates as strings, but people still do it.

But SQLite does not have a native datetime type so you have to use strings

You can use an integer

How do I know the time zone of an integer? Sure there are plenty of cases where one doesn't care, but there are also many cases where the original time zone is important.

The integer is a UTC time so it can be sorted. If you need the time zone you store than in a smaller field.

This has edge cases that are infrequent but messy because it depends presumes timezone changes are transitive across time and they often aren’t.

Eg I save a date 18 months in the future in US Western time at 0600. 3 months from now the US gets rid of Daylight Savings. You saved it as 1400 UTC (which was correct), which is now an hour off because the local time zone is different.

Encoding it in local time fixes that, because it delays the TZ conversion until you need it and your times stay correct as long as you update tzdb like once a month.

other comment said it already, timezone information is not saved. Easiest is just to use a string.

SMS should not be considered sensitive data since it can be read by entities between you and the source.

If someone texts me something that's not interesting to those MITMs but is sensitive to mom catching a glance while my phone is on the table, that's a problem this toggle creates/destroys. Threat models vary.

The main relationship is to all gambling. Sports likely gets assumed to make it worse because people still believe the myth that the Super Bowl is the worst DV day of the year.

Not OP, but I've been on GrapheneOS for a few years and I have no problem with Chase, CiT or Wealthfront. I mostly use them to check balances and unlock debit cards, but they all login and function fine.

Noted, thank you for the advice.

Good luck :)

99% of people who follow that are still completely dependent on the world order and will be just as screwed as everybody else if everything goes tits-up.

The aim is to be screwed last. That's a reasonable survival strategy.

There's a lot of bullshit that can happen between the status quo and everything going tits up. Having FU money means you can say -all things being equal - "Fuck You" when it's appropriate, instead of worrying about becoming homeless or not having enough to eat

And then you couldn't get to their home page because they got hammered by traffic. They eventually slimmed the page down to just the main story and you could get it to load eventually.

And in some countries people are only given a choice of two, neither of which benefit the population.

Many of those countries have mechanisms by which one can express their preferences earlier in the process, ones which have been successfully used to pivot major political parties in new and unexpected directions, although those mechanisms are more complicated than just showing up at the end and whining about the results, so usually it's only motivated individuals and entities which leverage them.

Yeah, they're doing some kind of nonsense to avoid scraping which also blocks any browser setup for any kind of privacy. I even tried reloading the page with ublock turned off and it still did it so I moved on to something else.
