@programming.devThey ask the push providers (Apple/Google) for data on the push token from e.g. a messaging app. This way they associate the account from an app with an identity.
Very overlooked point. You can find privacy guides online but very few even suggest that FCM etc. might have privacy issues, let alone explain exactly why. It seems this has already been used by law enforcement in the past: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-google-push-notification-surveillance/
The Molly-FOSS fork of Signal (which aims to be even more secure/private) actually supports self-hosted push notifications using UnifiedPush.

Being a furry is not common
The number of children who identify as a furry in your local grade school would shock you.
It's also possible the number of people who like it do not outnumber the people who don't like it
I use this one and it is definitely much stronger (and louder) than any can of air I've ever used. Stronger as in more volume AND velocity.
On a hot day it literally cools my entire body down.
People who want RT are not everyday people though.
How does an average desktop user benefit from any RT changes?
I don't think that comparison is fair because I explicitly said that people who wanted RT are already going out of their way to get things done. The average desktop user (putting GPS in every phone) won't benefit from it (or RT) and it could likely make their experience even worse.
If you care about security, don’t put a Sim card in your phone.
Depends on what you mean by security... or privacy. You need to define a threat model before any suggestions can be made.
If you're worried about someone hacking into your phone via an app, a sim card likely won't make a difference.
If you're worried about your location being tracked... that can often be done without a sim card or any cellular service on your device.
Then there are malicious carriers (or ones compelled by a government) that could track you without even having legitimate service activated. All phones at least in the US now are mandated to have (A)GPS receivers.
All depends on what your concerns are.
