    WA location sharing (at least on Android) sucks ass though. They haven’t properly implemented the notification Android requires apps to give for background location access, so it exclusively works if WA is running in the foreground. It just stops updating if the person sharing locks their phone or closes WhatsApp.

    Google Maps sharing is much better it also allows you to select any time limit in 1 hour steps, or permanently (until it’s turned off again), instead of the WA presets of ¼, 1 or 8 hours.





  • Yes, teaching people to paste random CLI commands they don’t understand from random ass internet comments is in fact worse than no advice at all.

    Just like telling someone how to fix their own home wiring is worse than no advice at all. It reinforces dangerous and bad practices that could lead to system damage or data loss. It takes one fucking typo in a CLI command, or a wrong root directory, to go from deleting one folder to wiping your entire system. People who don’t understand the commands they’re pasting, should avoid using the CLI as much as possible, completely if they can.

    And resorting to insults like that is pathetic, child like behaviour, and the sign of an insecure and intellectually dishonest mind.
