latest versions of iOS is actually pretty good about this, at least for Facebook Messenger. It will let you choose specific photos to upload, and the app can only read those. And afterwards you can even revoke those permissions.
Based on reading the Institute for the Study of War's daily updates, I got the impression that they rely a lot more on Telegram. E.g. the most recent post https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offens... has 90 t.me links and 22 twitter.com links.
Since for the ISW folks, following the war in Ukraine is kind of their job, I think that's a pretty good approximation of the two platforms' relative importance in that area.
The ISW folks maps tend to not really reflect reality so well.
Every time someone lands troops somewhere they mark it as a territory gain, even if the area is still ‘disputed’.
It’s deeply annoying - small thrusts and retreats or probing attacks by either side get marked as territory gains/losses, which is entirely inaccurate and usually the situation has changed by the time ISW posts it.
Looks pretty similar to the font used on the Tyne and Wear Metro[0], though I have heard the metro's signage is made up of hand-me-downs from the tube anyway.
I stopped supporting an open source React Native library because keeping the sample code working in Expo was taking too much of my time.
This was years ago, maybe things have calmed down since then, but Expo always felt like hanging onto the horns of a bull, so long as you didn't fall off it was a fun ride!
That's similar to my experience. Not just React but across JS in general. Was super hard to keep everything at pace when it was and is moving so fast. I slightly envy the old COBOL people sometimes...
I think it depends how good you need the translation to be.
I’d say current automation is ‘good enough’ for most cases, but you wouldn’t rely on it for translating a contract and it would probably still miss a lot of slang and local dialects.
Are people actually typing thought provoking, in-depth analysis into Twitter?
