“anonymized” sure. I highly doubt they read every message. I’m sure there is lots of de-anonymizing information in the messages themselves

For example–

Anon1: “hey jeff, wanna play Minecraft?”

Anon2: “sure”

Thus we know Anon2’s name is Jeff. I imagine there’s a lot of this.

Yeah it’s honestly way more likely for someone to change the file type and break the file while renaming it, than it is for malware to get past Defender.

Isn’t that kinda dangerous? Also potentially illegal depending on where you live.

I assumed all distilled alcohol was gluten free. Perhaps there are some odd production exceptions.

This is my first time reading about this. I’m very curious to hear a lawyer’s thoughts on this.

If you change the bootloader to some other software, how could the company be expected to provide support for something they may have no knowledge of? Suppose I develop some theoretical SnowsuitOS and then complain to Samsung support when it doesnt run on my smartphone? It seems very likely that some conflict in my code could be causing problems, as opposed to an issue with my hardware.

I feel like to require this, you’d have to prove that the software is functionally equivalent to their software, right? (Side note, isn’t this problem undecidable? Program equivalence?)

If you replace a wheel on a tractor you can pretty easily define what it should and should not do. Determining equivalence seems simpler with a physical situation. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure program equivalence is not a solved problem.

My point here is that I don’t think it’s reasonable to legally require a software company to offer support without limits, because they cannot be sure that there is not an issue with the (unsupported) software you are using.

What’s the signal issue? I use signal on my desktop. Can you not create an account without a phone number? I thought they added usernames a while back.

Edit: nevermind, it appears you do still need to provide a phone number to sign up, even with the usernames and desktop clients.

I’m confused. At a sit down restaurant you can’t just walk into the kitchen and make your meal, yet that is a standard place to tip.

They’re part of Department of Homeland Security. NSA is part of Department of Defense. So they’re actually not, unless you meant this figuratively.

Don’t these people ever want to retire? Enjoy your final years? So weird.

I’ve found on my android phone that the bitwarden prompt comes up more reliably if I tap on the password field instead of the username field.

I’ve found that bitwarden pops up more consistently if I select the password field instead of the username field.

Hard for me to gauge “lesser known” without knowing what you’ve seen, but here are some I have enjoyed:

• Raw (2016)
• I See You (2019)
• The Autopsy (2022) - not feature length
• Hell House, LLC (2015)
• Pontypool (2008)

Most people do not know who Satoshi is.

Approval voting sounds good.

One issue I see with the star system is that people tend to have preconceptions about star ratings. E.g. some people never rate 5 stars on principle or will rate something 3 stars without realizing that is a 60% rating. My point is I think you might see some weird skew in the results based on this.

I feel like the one thing missing from this is that the term is supposed to sound like how a snot-nosed kid would say it, hence the letter r being dropped.

This is the integrated search on the home screen of my android (pixel). For a lot of mobile phone users, it’s the fastest way to search something. I can just Google search directly from the home screen instead of opening up a browser.

Seriously dragon maid? That show is very divisive for its depiction of characters, lol. (e g. Kanna)

Thanks! I didn’t realize the difference between AC and DC.
