It’s better, but in practice seems to have ended up entirely controlled by Google

It’s insecure, can only handle small files, no features like read receipts or reactions. I can go on.

Just a reminder that it is in the interest of the ruling establishment in both countries to keep their citizens mad at each other

yeah… it should

It’s honestly terrifying how much of a grip whatsapp has. People like to make fun of the US for being stuck on sms and imessage, but at least we’re not beholden to Zucc for our main communication

Discord was just an example, I’m not attached to it. It could be signal or WhatsApp or matrix or whatever

I don’t know if this is a joke, but I do have a blog that I’ve been very demotivated to post on for similar reasons

They’re invite only places. Though discord does have public servers too now I think, generally you can’t just access them through the open web.

Good point. A sort of community service I guess

They do, it’s part of the tuition

I know a lot of people who bought teslas before musk became a full blown oligarch and feel uncomfortable about it

You might just be older. A number of keyboards do actually use that data but in the autocorrection phase. I think most people would hate it if the key sizes kept changing

Lmao I like the tl;drs on TOS page. Some of them are a little reductive, but it’s still better than making it a giant illegible block

Well I’m here

I… guess he was trying to stop more of it. Regret?

Oh it’s certainly not one generation
