Signal is not good for normies: compare sending a message with Signal to WhatsApp. Didn’t go through? WhatsApp will try try try to resend. Signal tries far less then shows the dreaded red exclamation point. Not great while travelling or with poor reception.

It’s a nice idea, but isn’t it a bit pointless if the law is not being applied?

Note the positioning for this is different: imperfect family, non-pristine home, dirty clothes.

I don’t like the wrapper idea. I would like it built into the cron daemon.
Re:I Made a Non-Wi-Fi Mitsubishi AC Smart with an ESP32 on Monday September 14, 2026 @01:44AM (#49692464)
This seems to be better featured than ir blasters like Tado Smart AC Control (which is not bidirectional)
I’m guessing this is what the mobile apps use when spinning up a vm for code (not chat).
Re:Apple Watch Ultra 4 on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @04:35PM (#49633839)

> how much do you think this vulnerability is actually worth? How much do you think an organization like Google would spend on, for example, AI tokens or compute to detect this internally before it was found and exploited in the wild?

So would keeping patents help?

Noun versus verb.

Did you log in (space: split verb)? What is your login (no space: noun)?
