appreciate the extra info!

I did not connect these dots, I am now, thank you!

ahhh what is this?

> The completely unrelated

> In completely unrelated news, upcoming versions of Signal will be periodically fetching files to place in app storage. These files are never used for anything inside Signal and never interact with Signal software or data, but they look nice, and aesthetics are important in software. Files will only be returned for accounts that have been active installs for some time already, and only probabilistically in low percentages based on phone number sharding. We have a few different versions of files that we think are aesthetically pleasing, and will iterate through those slowly over time. There is no other significance to these files.

Do not stop here! Keep going the trilogy there is great and all of it within the foundation universe, incredible stuff. I wish I had more people to discuss it with

I find this interesting, there was a briar app that was spoken about a few months ago that was only for android citing that iOS had issues [0] with apps running in background, wonder if/how this was solved here.

Also, I have not seen unlicense before -- guess I'm one of todays lucky 10,000

I'm a big fan of this change, however, I think to a black mirror episode [0] where essentially little robot dogs could interface with everything they came into contact with because every connection was the same, it may be trivial to have multiple connections for a weapon like this but the take away I had from this is that 'variety' may be better than a single standardized solution. Partly because it is more expensive to plan for multiple types of inputs and making the cost of war go up will make it more difficult which I think inherently is the idea behind some of the larger cybersecurity companies, a hack can only work once then everyone has defenses for it after that single successful attack, this makes it more expensive to successfully stage attacks. Huge digression from this convo... but I think back to this constantly.

this seems interesting and I (very briefly) installed to check it out but never actually used.

I just noticed there is no IOS version? bit strange no?

also no update on their blog since 2023?

would be interested to read whats going on recently, is there another place to look?

I really enjoyed continuum and felt that the last season was a bit abrupt leaving a lot unexplored.

I still imagine a halo device from that show that i think would do well to be made, I imagine a garmin/iwatch that also completes lifestyle and healthcare needs on steroids that also replaces smart phones

I plan to use MonicaHQ , I failed to self host behind a reverse proxy and the effort was no longer prioritized but I would be interested if anyone else is using it.

I'm interested in how you came up with this, do you have a blog post or something I can peruse?

this happened to me (minus the travel part, but the theif was from what appears to be a south east asian country), I tried for quite some time getting attention because for about 2 weeks I was still being forwarded messages to my other address so I could observe what they were receiving which was... strange.

in any case my final attempt was contacting a group of people who wrote about account recovery [0] as a last ditch effort, unfortunately some emails bounced and no one responded.

my parents and grandparents occasionally still use my old email and I'm still bothered by it despite it happening over a year ago now. if there is anyone on this list working at google email, I have a lot of evidence showing I owned the account and I would love to have the opportunity to talk to a person about options.
