Very on-brand for The Pokemon Company to do something the wrong way. I just knew that Android at least doesn't let you access the camera without the app open and the screen on, so I had assumed it would be the same thing with the microphone access it wants for tracking sleep.
Exactly, I have a Galaxy watch myself and it does a fine job of tracking my sleep despite how old it is. They made Pokemon Go able to sync walking data with the system health app so they game could reward you even without it open. I don't know why they missed that for Pokemon Sleep, especially with all the delays
I'm really not a fan of this game because of having to leave your phone on all night long with it plugged in. For multiple reasons, but the fire hazard is definitely one of them. Why couldn't it sync up with other passive sleep trackers, like smart watches?
I don't know why the can is so off-putting, but it is. Lots of other things come in a can, including tuna and chicken, but somehow this is a step too far for my brain.
PeerTube uses the WebTorrent protocol for its videos, so it does distribute load with everyone currently watching a video helping distribute it to everyone else. Each instance is its own torrent tracker. I'm not sure how I feel about it, because your IP address is visible to anyone else watching the video also.
It is a bar, but specifically the things on the tips of the shoelace
