Ideally the creator has their own accompanying written version…

Simplex does not give you anymore security. It does however, provide anonymity.

like everything else on Signal, is also end-to-end encrypted

That’s fine if one of those ends isn’t a public activism group.

If you don’t want your name and profile picture shared with randos, either don’t set them

I use Signal to talk to people in real life, both personally and professionally. I don’t want to message them from some sort of unidentifiable alias.

or don’t chat with randos.

That was my point, thank you.

Happy to use my real name with friends and family, but would prefer an alias for group chats.

Exactly.

Not worried about my phone number, I’m more worried about my profile.

Not worried about my phone number so much as my legal name…

If you join a large WhatsApp group, anyone in that group will have everyone else’s phone number, and they can use that to learn far more about everyone’s identities.

Does it not give away your identity when you join a Signal group?

What is your objection to Pixel camera? This will help find a suitable replacement.

So…wood?

I have no idea how but they auto-renewed mine as well. If I wasn’t the type of person to pay close attention to my finances I wouldn’t have noticed.

That’s being said, it was very easy to cancel and refund the purchase.

Clearly LLMs specifically and ML models in general have many powerful use cases

I disagree. Gen AI is the thing their pushing the hardest and also the least useful. Okay, it can write shitty social media posts and make my emails sound less grumbly. Cool. Let me know when agentic AI actually becomes usable. That’s where the legit money will be.

They should have accounted for old games in their estimates though.

Who in their right mind is buying this?

People who don’t want to spend $500 on a PS5 to save $20 on a game.

That’s virtually every company, unfortunately.

I mean that sucks for farmers. How about literally everyone? Everyone needs to eat. Deere is fucking everyone.

As much as I’d love to get rid of SMS and email, there’s no way Russia isn’t collecting and processing all of the information in this app.

Did you flashy thing me?

I’m not one to yuck anyone’s yum, it just sounds like a waste of time and money.

I do want to try this now though haha. Especially when desktop mode comes to Pixels.

WiFi networks are often used to get your location. Not sure for what purpose.
