The code is replicated by everyone who works on it, and on various public and private servers, so you might say it’s stored everywhere.

I don’t think jobs this hazardous are generally done by plumbers. Sending in a robot instead of a human makes sense.
Especially when the robot is better at finding faults before people’s homes collapse into a sinkhole.

Do you mean a two-way radio, or just a receiver? Why?
Mine has saved my sanity a couple of times out in Nowhere, West Texas.
How?
3·9 days agoYou linked to https://lemmy.zip/c/BoardGameArena, which is usually fine, but sometimes causes issues for users who are not on lemmy.zip.
It takes (most) people away from their home instance, to another one where they are no longer logged in and their preferences are not applied. Better to use a ! link.
Peer review is for scientific papers, not lab results. If you have reason to question the lab that produced the results, then please share it.
Won’t that make the front fall off?
I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.
Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.

Note that Apple has been participating for more than 12 years.
I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.
Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.
Unfortunately, it loses on data density.
I disagree.
- OP wasn’t at all specific about what kind of transit app they were seeking, as others have noted.
- Whatever kind of privacy-friendly transit app they want, F-Droid is exactly the place to find it.
- There are only a handful of each type there. Comparing that to an ocean is absurd.
- Many people don’t know about F-Droid at all, and just need a pointer to it.
Despite disagreeing, I appreciate that you used your words. Thanks.
I suggest browsing the apps available here:
Edit: I have no idea who would downvote this or why, but doing so is not helpful to anyone, in any way. If you have a question or concern, please just write it in a comment.
Why is he so interested in Greenland? Is it just the natural resources?
It was a few years ago when I read Signal’s statement about this, so I’m afraid I don’t have a link for you.
I believe you when you say Molly functions, but it’s important to note that without Signal’s blessing, anyone using Molly can be locked out of the network (and their chats and contacts) at any moment. It’s not the same as official interoperability.
I wonder if the Digital Markets Act will eventually force it.
Unless Signal’s policies recently changed, Molly is not interoperable, since Signal does not allow third-party clients to use their servers/network. That would make point 2 correct.
If that policy has changed, then someone please link the announcement so I can update my notes.
