Exactly. It comes preinstalled on many mobiles and tablets, like Samsung’s. This number is worthless.

Not native. But anyway I disagree that women squat pee. They usually sit to pee here. While men don’t so all the toilet (the appliance) and the ground are full of pee. Result: the whole room stinks of pee.

By toilets I mean the room itself, not the appliance.

That’s the same thing they said about addresses in bogons ranges and eventually we succeeded in using them.

I don’t see how it’s any better that pronouns lose their gender, making them less specific and therefore less useful.

Male toilets are always much more filthier than female toilets. If I was a female I’d be pretty pissed if they forced me to use a urinal for men.

People prefer happiness to freedom. I don’t think that democracy is vital to the wellness of a society. It’s just that until now all autocratic societies were ruled by shitheads and they inevitably collapsed. Now we’re seeing an autocratic society that is working fine because it’s being led by intelligent, not-too-selfish people. This is a breath of fresh air since in my opinion democracy is well past its heyday and we have to explore new options.

No indication of what it means. Has anybody tried to download the same picture from two accounts and see if the data changes? Maybe this is some data they embed into the picture for bookkeeping when inside their infrastructure and they forget to strip it when they let you download it.

It’s interesting you say this. I work as a web developer, I consider myself to be more or less well versed in security, and it would have never occurred to me that websites can make requests to devices inside the standard private blocks of addresses. I think it stands to reason that these requests should be blocked in the same way requests to the file:// protocol are blocked.

Also Facebook.
It’s because media companies used to control all the information and opinion. Now they’re losing that power to big tech. They are mad. But ultimately they will lose, for better or for worse.

What’s the difference between inviting Jimmy to that group and just messaging him in private asking him to kill himself? Seems like a pointless feature. (Let’s remember that users you’ve blocked could never add you to groups.)

Krebs is a charlatan like many others. I don’t know why he’s given so much clout in technical circles. At this point he’s nothing more than a journalist.
