DigitalTerminal··on Android now forces apps to include proprietary code for push notifications
I am confused. The repo you linked to hasn't had a release since 2016, and I cannot find a reference to that library ANYWHERE else. The firebase android sdk, which is what I would guess you would use (though I don't do android, so could still be wrong) is apache. What am I missing?

DigitalTerminal··on Epistemic Learned Helplessness (2013)
Pascal’s Wager seems trivially countered by pointing out that there’s an equal amount of evidence of the opposite hypothesis.

Or, in a more refined way: There is an effectively infinite number of theories that have equal evidence (namely: none), and consequently you should give each one only (1/infinity) attention, i.e. epsilon, i.e. basically zero.
