Menstruation cycle tracking app breached users' privacy, B.C. class-action lawsuit alleges

Reply in thread

Periods are awful to keep track of yourself, it's not a perfect, "every 4 weeks for 5 days" thing. Those apps actually recalculate the beginning and end of a period when something abnormal happens, like stress moving the period back a few days. This way you don't need to keep it in a personal calendar, which mind you, a lot of people don't even have.

Btw, most apps do also more than just regular tracking, they can predict how bad blood flow will be, and if your periods are known to be rather painful, they can keep track and remind you when a day comes on which you'd need to pack a few extra painkillers.

Honest question, in what way do you think your comment is contributing to the conversation? At best it's a recommendation bundled with a brag, which will only make people hate the thing you're talking about even more, and at worst you're making fun of people for simply using a different search engine.

You could have said something like "Fyi, Brave doesn't use a bigger search engine as its base, so if you need to look something up rn you can use their search engine", much nicer, not patronizing, and actually helpful

Eurobeat hat die passive Fähigkeit jegliche Schrottkarre in einen Rennwagen zu verwandeln, bei 300km/h und einem auf Eurobeat gedopten Fahrer sollte die Fahrt relativ leicht vollbracht sein.

Garry Newman: The new Unity pricing would have cost him $410,000 of lifetime revenue

I gotta ask, considering the "per install" pricing, what exactly is an installation in the eyes of Unity?

A game download? In which case would a cancelled and restarted download result in two installations being logged?

Is it an API call during first start-up? What would keep malicious actors from simply modding their game to repeat this call a thousand times?

What about pirated copies? Do they count as being "installed"?
