@_inside@mastodon.social is it though? I have a wifi grill thermometer app I disable Bluetooth for on iOS, because it's only used for pairing. Every launch it complains that Bluetooth is off...but I don't need it to be on. So I get to click cancel a lot. Only good thing is they let the app work after I hit cancel, could be worse they could just lock me into needing an irrelevant permission If they couldn't query for Bluetooth perms, they wouldn't bother me until it was needed because I'm trying to pair something right now

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange Proxmox VE has a magazine?

@_inside@mastodon.social yeah but then the problem is I get apps that work perfectly fine without Bluetooth persistently enabled, constantly bothering me to enable it because they need it every 3 years when I get a new device to pair.

@_inside@mastodon.social for sure, I just find that the user experience in apps seems like it's frequently worse when apps can check for perms rather than just have to gracefully degrade. Unfortunately there's more bad apps out there than good. I don't mean malicious, just...lazy? Bad ui/ux? And it's hard to find out before you buy someone's hardware if their app is going to annoy the crap out of you until it's too late.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social going to agree with the people alluding to the political issues in redemption as to why he had to resign. Federation doesn't meddle with internal politics. In birthright it's more equivalent to going home to find himself in France ...but spicy, lol. I mean birthright also has romulan/klingon politics I suppose but they were much less known ahead of time before he left for the mission? and technically the romulans would be violating the khitomer accords if they were keeping khitomer era PoWs. And the federation is also a signatory to those accords so it wouldn't be internal to Romulus or Q'onos?

@gedeonm@mastodon.social not exactly like what you're describing, but my wife did have to retrain her faceid recently and that made her phone more reliable, maybe try that?

@gedeonm@mastodon.social E) all of the above

@gedeonm@mastodon.social is animated heic different than a regular heic movie?
