Companies you invest in benefit from your investment in a variety of ways. Your investment provides the financial resources needed for the company to grow and expand. Your investment helps companies develop new products, hire more talent, expand into new markets, and improve their overall operations. Your investment essentially contributes to the company's success.
This showed up for me in c\all
Having not read the article, I would wager a guess that because 401k balances are invested in diverse funds, and if the fund composition includes corporations contributing to emissions… and you are making money off their profitability… you are therefore contributing to those emissions. Pick other things to invest in.
I doubt it - This covers your screen if you try to view someone else’s instagram post when not logged into an account. I expect OP just wants to see the post without giving meta their data.

The boat is already full of holes, so let’s poke more!
You are commenting as if everyone who would turn this feature on would have the technical acumen to understand how any of it works.
Here’s what I’m imagining. The phone is listening on port 80, probably running some jacked up plug-in to play a favorite song. The user probably installs it and then forgets it’s there. The plug-in becomes severely out of date, running code with multiple zero day exploits. In the best case scenario it is running your battery down and using up your bandwidth, it’s commonly just unavailable because your metro area cell network is jammed so your visitors can’t access the site at all, and worst case it can be tricked into running local scripts that do nefarious things.
Having my phone not be able to do something I want it to do is my problem
I meant, it’s arguable that if people use this feature and expose themselves, that’s their own fault. I’m not sure what you thought I meant.
That’s why you have it turned off by default
It’s off by default, but still there for uneducated and unskilled people to turn on and leave themselves exposed.
… significant improvement
Vs just paying a few bucks for linode that’s got multiple 9s of uptime? It doesn’t seem worth it.
If you give people this ability, most of the ones who use it are going to put themselves at risk.
Maybe you feel that’s their own problem. Sometimes you need to protect people from themselves. The phone vendors sure as hell don’t want to start seeing news stories of their devices getting hacked all the time.
And how do you feel about your site visitors not being able to hit your page when your local network is overloaded?
You can simply look for an instance where that username is not taken yet… there are 1400 instances, though not all joinable or desirable, and some surely have a zaphod already… but it is really easy to obtain the exact username you desire.
