It depends what you're using it for. If you aren't using it to track your sports activity, it is not that useful. Maybe the notifications are useful. I really enjoy tracking my steps and knowing if I should be more active. I use gadgetbridge, so that my data stays on my phone.

I always check if the was packaged by the developer. I tend not to trust apps packaged by someone else.

Fully agree. I once wanted to try it. I took a look at the documentation for partitioning and realized that I needed 2 full days for a working installation and constant access to another PC to be able to read the documentation.. No thanks, I don't care about the hate, Debian/Ubuntu is up and running in 30 mins and gets out of the way...

I always ask if they have a curtain. Why have one, when you have nothing to hide? It blocks the view, sunlight...

And also if you are a manager and one of the team members perform poorly and you cannot help the person improve, you should rather let that person go before you get to a state, in which you write such mails.

I tell everyone that messenger is not installed on my phone and I check messages once a week. So if they contact me there, expect a one week response time. (Or more.)

Viber is really very annoying, constantly nagging me about their "newest stickers" and other crap. When I open it, it's like times square on my phone with all the garbage ads...

I looked into this a year ago and most sites did not offer to register a second key, so if you lose your key, you can kiss many of your accesses goodbye. I would never have the key to my digital life on a keychain... The idea is good, but it will cause huge damage if you lose your HW key. On the other hand, if you are cautious and use different PWs and a password manager with 2FA, you are quite safe.

And there's when you spend 20 minutes composing your argument, then you decide to delete it, because "It's not worth it."

There's the info you are willingly sharing through the app, no permission for that. There are really a few apps that require no permissions, usually they always need access to something. E.g. the LG app for washing machines that will only run if you register and account AND give permission to make phone calls, when you only want to download washing programs...

Most of us would probably just be fine with PWAs, but the marketing branch says no... They need everything possible about you, need the app to run at startup and send you notifications at least every 4 hours...
