How long can Instagram keep the local port open before Android will kill it to save battery?

The craziest part about that thread is how much the attitude around drugs has changed in the past years. 10 years ago the comments felt a lot more optimistic about drugs and liberalization.

I guess since then, the fentanyl crisis has happened and shown that drugs also have more negative impacts

Maps was created because it allowed google to be more competitive, not because they were already on top of their game and could just pour billions into any product.
