For a while already I have been noticing the red "screen recording" bar on top of the screen appearing and quickly going away at random moments while Instagram is open (since iOS 13 at least). Seems to happen usually while I'm browsing photo library and/or post drafts.
Anyone else noticed that? Is it along the same lines as the camera usage bug, or maybe they are just ferociously recording app usage analytics?
The worst possibility is that IG's always recording my screen (perhaps in concert with the front camera) but successfully suppressing the bar most of the time, and only sometimes the workaround stops working so screeen recording bar shows up for a second. That would be so far from a welcome development.
Depending on one’s locality and bias, “the typical Siberian is a white person” may or may not ring true. In large cities people would seem predominantly white or mixed. Going into smaller towns it is much less clear-cut, and further away you’ll find villages without a single non-indigenous resident (read: everyone is Asian-looking). In such regions indigenous languages have official status alongside Russian, which they are not mutually intelligible with.
In my opinion it is entirely fair to illustrate an article about Siberians with a photo representing one of the many native peoples.
Source: grew up in a region of Russian Siberia with less than 60% of ethnically Russian residents per last census, most of which from my observation concentrated in and around the largest municipality. Taking that number at face value is, of course, assuming that all of the indigenous people, many of whom don’t speak Russian and live in remote villages, were counted in the 2010 census and declared their ethnicity “correctly”.
Edit: can't remember that for sure, could be no icon then you'd be correct, not that it helps much (not sure which one would be worse).
