Oh, when eleven runs away to the city? It gets even better: none of that shit comes back up again.

But it absolutely does keep leaning into teen romance. I always felt it was a decent show but overrated, and it dropped off hard.

Good old firebase. Notifications are not entirely device local on android, or something like that.

Especially from Gartner of all places. Maybe this will finally start tempering the hype in the executives.

The solution to that isn’t to post even more blatantly state controlled media just with a different flavor of boot sole.

Come on now.

Wow, only over a decade since this problem was first demonstrated at defcon and the community started finding ways to detect this themselves!

Glad to have this feature natively, but come on Google.

Yes, you’re correct.

But that rollout doesn’t make headlines like all the ones from the US government telling people to use encrypted messaging like WhatsApp or Signal. That’s what got them to WhatsApp to begin with. FBI tells everyone very loudly to get off standard texting. They jump as a collective to where half of them already are.

As I’ve already alluded to: this has precisely zero to do with the technical aspects of security. Ease of use does matter (why pushing to Signal didn’t work at the time the FBI spooked everyone), but only a little bit, and is overshadowed by momentum of where people already are.

I might be able to get my family off WhatsApp with the recent article about it being banned from (I think it was) Congress’s phones.

But again, this isn’t a technical problem where you can just point at what’s obviously the better choice. There are complications of personal relationships, individual resistance to change, whether or not you’re willing to train your family members, etc.

My grandmother is in her late 80s and it is astonishing that she can even manage WhatsApp to pariticipate in the family group chat. I’m not upending that and causing her the added stress, work, isolation if it fractures the family groip chat, and signing myself up for all that extra work to try and drag people to new platform and hold their hand through the bumps… just so I can be comfortably principled, using the best option, and trying to prevent Meta from getting info about me for a few more years that they likely are getting through other means.

I’ll revisit as the elders age off.

I care about my privacy, but I’ve thought long and hard about my specific threat model and what is and isn’t important enough for me to make a big deal out of. For me, this is an acceptable sacrifice.

Doesn’t have to be that way for anyone else. Just has to work for me and my life. And it does.

Ultimately I’m just trying to give reasons why people are still on these platforms. I took the initial comment I responded to at face value. I’m not really looking to debate here, and my opinions don’t invalidate anyone else’s.

How is that fucking legal?

Give us this very sensitive information, we promise we won’t misuse it, and we’ll let you fiddle our AI as a treat.

Momentum of where friends and family are.

It’s nice to be able to say “well they’re not worth talking to then”, but at some point I need to be able to reach my parents so they can babysit my daughter. Or be able to know that family will be in town and expecting me to be available. Or be able to have any way of knowing what life events are happening to my loved ones without having to wait for it to be brought up in casual conversation months later as if I should already know.

My extended family and friends do a poor job communicating on a good day. If I try to add another hurdle, I’m not the one who wins that fight.

Don’t forget “styrofoam walls painted to look like tunnels”. Fucking looney tunes.

Most still are/can be. Enough that I find it hard to believe people are missing out without podcasts through these paid services.

GamersNexus has in depth data on fans, noise, and how much air they move.

I mean, that’s at least functional grammar.

“advertiser’s creative”? The fuck is that? You aren’t cool by dropping the noun out and trying to use an adejective in its place.

So this is your project? Judging from your username here and the test messages shown in your screenshot here and on the Github. Nemesis.

Brand new lemmy account with only this post on it.

And the entire Github codebase is made up of a single commit of all the files 2 hours ago as of the time I’m commenting.

As I’ve said before with similar posts from (I believe) other users/coders: just be up front about if something you’re posting was your weekend project or just something to fill out a portfolio.

And you haven’t responded to any of what I wrote, in order to keep pushing the racism angle. You certainly aren’t doing yourself any favors.

If you can’t see how posting a thread asking people what they do and what they make could be controversial (even without the potential race angle or the “I make a shit ton of money” angle), you must be very insulated from the world.

Job markets are crap almost universally, definitely in the US and from what I can gather also in Europe. Average yearly wage for the US was significantly less than a third of what you say you make last I checked. Six figures is a major career goal for most people. Just getting above $100k a year is seen as a pretty big accomplishment. And you’re going to strut in claiming 3.5x that and just go “I see no way how this could be construed as anything but an attempt at conversation”?

To be fair, I’ve personally known people like you in real life. College friend who was the son of a doctor with his own practice, inviting us out to dinner at a place that “wasn’t too expensive”. At the time (2010), $25 a plate was expensive for working adults, let alone college students.

There are a lot of new accounts that post weird questions like this to asklemmy, seemingly trying to bait out strong reactions by including some sort of “twist”.

Relationship questions, but surprise, it’s an islamic marriage with multiple wives!

Am I the asshole type question about raising children, but surprise, a buried lede that is right on the edge of “is this person abusing their kid, or just a hardass”?

Is this a reasonable to expect from my spouse, but surprise, it’s an arranged marriage!

Most of these posts are deleted within 24 hours, strongly suggesting that there is someone using sockpuppet accounts to bait out engagement. Fuck if I have any clue why. There is a distinct pattern that your post falls into.

I appreciate that the mods are finally doing something about it, just making a comment to remind people to excercise common sense.

Lemmy has a bit of a schism with some extreme leftist groups practically worshipping the Russian and Chinese government. So your inclusion of it makes this post appear to be another one of those “slightly engaging, but surprise thing that probably shouldn’t be contreversial but sure will be!” posts.

And even assuming good faith, this is just a humblebrag thread. “Look at how much I make!”

Not every company is like that, but it is distressingly rare. To the degree that I’m willingly accepting 20k less than I would be making elsewhere to avoid the bullshit. I am so fucked if I ever need to move or if my boss retires.

Why does this description sound entirely like someone trying to sell me something?

Gotta love the ones with no frame rate data like this one. They relied on the slowness of old PCs to keep them from zooming. Now we get this speed demon.

What? Corded phones exist, and most schools and offices have at least one in each room. Dumb phones exist. Pagers exist.

Smart phones are not the only singular solution for easy, quick contact.
