> This can and will be used by criminals to target communities that have less tech or tech that is exploitable/circumventable. No it won't!

I don't believe you, but I also can't unsee it. We will soon BREACH the ability of users to use certain KEYs to activate windows. Use of these KEYs is a BREACH of our terms of serv…

Yes, correct. If you can deal with almost any operating system that runs on general purpose hardware, and if you can stomach having the choice of which one to run.

This whole analysis reads like the economic version of flat earth theory to me, but I thank you both in advance because I am about to go down a research rabbit hole on "corporate c…

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I'd like to think the downvotes are because the user showed in the space of a haiku that they understand neither capitalism nor communism.

This is based on the false assumption that if someone finds a "perfect match" they will stop using tinder. What if finding the perfect match made you _more addicted_ to the app?

I had to walk back pretty quickly and save the credibility I had. So I pivoted to something like "There is no 'or else,' you'd just better not--as in it would really be better if y…

I'm not an academic, but I don't really think there is a correct choice. I think there are strategies that work in the moment to de-escalate. From among those, we often have a choi…

> fewer than 30 kids. I agree. And I'll go you one further. I have kids. I also used to work in a psychiatric hospital for kids, so I frequently had 30 and most of them were in the…

Probably because it's not a very useful exit. The most successful law school applicants have degrees like history, classics, or math. A degree in legal studies (1) doesn't rank for…

At least five years ago, it was possible to just apt install firefox on arm. It was a little iffy to get any version other than LTS, though.

I love this comment because it exposes several cultural assumptions in the parent which were not obvious to me on first reading.

Hey, this is great advice. Maybe it is as simple as "just lie about your destination and don't give up any additional information." I don't think that's as easy as you make it soun…

https://xkcd.com/538/ Ha. Ha. Suddenly everyone's an expert in what constitutes detention. There's actually a big difference between "literally not detaining" someone and not detai…

This seems correct regarding this person and this conduct, but I disagree that this type of penalty is "the standard for most first time, non-violent offenses." Federal cases are a…

> That's the standard for most first time, non-violent offenses In what country?

So you understand the difference between the two definitions and you are falsely equating them in your first comment on purpose? In order to derail the conversation? That's disappo…

It would. Imagine being pecked to death by a bird, all the while yelling, "Help! Egg attack!"

I can't tell if you understand or not, but your "first definition" is a grammatically correct pejorative. The second is a reference to a political philosophy. What's happening in t…

I think you're confusing anarchy with disorder.

Not only did it completely ruin my SMS experience when this happened, it cratered my signal use as well. From my perspective, it was a really misguided choice.

It sure looks unmaintained! Here are my problems with Simple SMS that are fixed in QKSMS: 1) Long delay updating conversation after receiving a message (>5s). 2) Date sorting broke…

Wow, thanks a million for that link. My banking app was not working but I found "Exploit protection compatibility mode" in the relevant thread, and now it works again.

I admit I passed over trying this for whatever reason. I'll try it now and report back.

I think there are enough American SMS users that the issue is worth discussing. We can also have a thread about how there is no FOSS Whatsapp client. I'd enjoy that discussion as w…
