People have been having sex in the backs of taxis and Ubers for decades. That’s with another human in there. I suspect more people are willing to do stuff in a car when they feel like they are alone (they are being recorded on video). Especially inebriated people who are headed somewhere to have sex anyway.

I’ve been in multiple fantasy football leagues over the years that have had teams named “Orange Line Jumper”.

I’m not leaving Signal until someone implements keeping data at rest encrypted on both ends and requires multi factor unlock (bio+pin is my choice).

So sick of E2E clients that leave the data in plaintext on the devices and then back it up in plaintext to the cloud.

Wait until they train it on porn sites. The AI may decide seppuku is the only option.

How is using ML any different that other tech? The goal of a military is to kill as many of the opposing force as possible while minimizing their own casualties. Whether they use night vision or a slide rule, the goal is the same.

If it were true AI that was autonomously taking the decision to kill humans, yeah that would be a fundamental change. ML isn’t really a change in targeting systems.

Oh good, the family feud method of social norms. No value judgement, just “Survey says!”.

You’ve heard of an ex-boyfriend, now meet your ex-social media.

Yep. I love my Charge 5 and don’t foresee changing to anything else in the near future. My only annoyance is google taking it over and enshitifying the app experience.

Mazdas also focus on providing the best driving experience for the actual driving part. Their infotainment is actually kind of mediocre compared to others, but I don’t care about that because I just need CarPlay and my phone does the rest.

So I am not giving that clickbait title a view. Anyone have a summary? What is new here? Self-healing materials aren’t new, and stainless steel is self-healing so the whole “first time” claim is obviously B.S. unless it is tied to some specific novel property.

Chairman Pooh must be pleased that his propagandists now have unfettered access to the worlds largest repository of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” knowledge.

Some bots are annoying for sure, but I love the sporting event bots that keep the match information updated in semi-real-time. I don’t see an issue with bots that are identified as such, it’s easy enough to block them (practically a requirement for any news community that has bots posting).

All of your assertions would be easily provable if Telegram allowed audits and provided public financials. They do neither. In fact, they just try to talk in loops when it is brought up.

The whole operation is sketchy as hell. Anyone who provides their data to such an org is foolish. At least the Meta’s of the world have to declare their use and it is known and audited.

Telegram wouldn’t even provide a CUSIP or names of the firms that supposedly bought their corporate paper bond.

I’ll stick with Signal. An org whose funding is clear and who has their encryption and security audited by third parties.

Encryption is self-made and they won’t let anyone audit it. Messages are stored on servers along with all the meta data (your phone number, location data, etc). There is no clear funding model to keep it up and running.

The whole org is murky/sketchy.

Telegram is very sketchy and I don’t trust it at all. I’d stick with Signal if you can get your network of people to use it.

They gave up all their personal data to see a crappy algo-driven social media site. Meta still considers this a win.
