A character in a short story about superheroes I wrote in high school

That’s funny, that /r/technology post was also me.

Please don’t post that LLM generated crap though.

Two out of these three links are broken, any idea what happened?

The error page says “The server returned this error: couldnt_find_community. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error”

What billionaire?

Yeah I think that’s exactly it

I think there’s a lot of overlap between people interested in a reddit alternative and a twitter alternative. Or maybe as that guy below says it’s just that I’m personally posting about it a lot.

And that’s why Jamie Foxx is cooler than Will Smith

Traditionally both parties had to agree to get divorced if there had not been some “grounds” for the divorce that could be proved in court. That’s why the classic business for old timey private detectives was proving that their client’s spouse was committing adultery in order to legally justify a divorce.

Yeah I actually came across this statistic in this article about those guys wanting to make divorce much harder, which linked to the study: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/no-fault-divorce-gop-republicans-mainstream-podcast-dudes/

It will be nice when the energy density on batteries has gotten high enough and charging times have gotten low enough that we can move on from making cars so aerodynamic and experiment more with funkier form factors.

How is that different from the usual way of having a password as your way of accessing your phone?

This is one of many reasons you should use a password of some kind that you keep inside of your head to unlock your phone rather than a biometric that people can use to unlock it against your will.

Not cool, reverse this

Thanks I appreciate that, I do need to be right and will think whatever I want.

That seems more like you are going to hang out in a place where those people also hang out, and are encountering them there, as opposed to them following you around.

What inbox? Like people are sending you angry emails? Still doesn’t really have a “following you around” vibe.

But the reality they’re referencing is someone being “in their house” in the sense of being in their tweet replies. Nobody is following you around online, you’re carrying them around in your pocket.

Probably just a minor processing error in your sound driver and nothing to worry about. I think I have had a similar experience with a particular white noise machine with hearing some slightly patterned sound when there wasn’t really a pattern. If it’s bothering you or increasing can’t hurt to go see a doctor (well can’t hurt too bad as long as you’re insured…) and get their input.

In my opinion, relying on upgrading users automagically to an encrypted and secure protocol isn’t good practice. If someone wants to use an encrypted chat, they should do so consciously. It will only cause confusion otherwise.

This is my theory for why they ditched this feature - the ultra-concerned about privacy superusers don’t approve of its messiness, even though in practice it’s the main engine for user growth.

Do people still use SMS these days though anyway?

I would have thought iMessage, RCS and separate chat apps like Whatsapp, Signal and WeChat would have largely replaced SMS by now.

SMS, MMS, iMessage and RCS are all compatible with each other and mostly used interchangeably and are the main way people text each other (in the US anyway). You just have a phone number, and when people text it with any of those formats you receive the message and respond the same way.

Right, the idea was that you could use Signal as your SMS app, and so whenever there was someone else doing the same you’d automatically upgrade to Signal. Whereas now I never have those auto-upgrades, any new contact I am just stuck on SMS with.
