Love this! The hourly wage for economic impact is def not correct though. Anyone that’s undocumented is likely being taken advantage of by their employers when they get paid under the table. I doubt many are making 17/hr

i don’t trust IceBlock. they don’t allow you to use the app at all without sharing your live location. it’s true iOS has better security and privacy, but whatever information any app collects from its users (like location data) will be sent to their own servers and cannot be confirmed by apple what they do with that data you willfully provided them

most people nowadays sadly only read headlines and assume they know the entire story :/

historically, probably. in modern times, it’s mostly people who have migrated from europe and the united states since the Nakba

that’s not the point i was addressing in my comment though, i agree processed foods a very bad. and poorer people are more likely to eat them. there’s no debate there from me.

i was only addressing your broad generalization of looking at all food doctors recommend for pregnant people to avoid. while it does include lots of bad and unhealthy foods, these recommendations also include foods that are directly related to fetal development, hormone changes, etc

that’s not true. pregnant people are told to stay away from sushi because of immunity with raw fish. you should also not eat papaya while pregnant because it can cause premature contractions. you’re making a very broad generalization that the recommendation to pregnant people is completely nutrition based, but there’s many factors when growing a life inside you.

like in early pregnancy, you eat foods high in choline. that’s not because foods low in choline are bad for you, but because during early fetal development, choline builds neural tubes

you can using xcode and a manual gpx file

that mainly applies to trackers and analytics. the company still makes backend calls to its own servers and can do whatever it wants there with the location data it collects from you

the fact that i cannot use the app at all if i deny location permissions is a red flag. there’s no reason not to have a read only mode.

there may be no trackers as the other commenter mentioned about the TechCrunch analysis, but who is this random company that owns it: ALL U Chart, Inc. They’re likely pinging back their own servers with your coords
