Even after Brexit?

What's wrong with that one? I don't want to read it and I don't follow silly Twitter drama.

It's not okay, but that's not the point I'm making. What I'm saying is that people shouldn't take what they read in that "common information repository" at face value, because it can be edited by anybody. Hell, even if editing was restricted to a certain group of people, how do you know those people aren't being paid to lie or omit information? (i.e. what happens with the media)

Blindly trusting what you read on Wikipedia is like blindly trusting what you read on the media. And I don't think there's much we can do to avoid it. Because conventional wisdom says more education will fix it. But wasn't there a study that showed that even highly educated people believe anything that confirms their biases?

Facebook login has value for many people. It certainly makes it easier to create new accounts and then log into 3rd party websites.

3.50€ for an IM app when there are dozens that are free? Yeah, no.

I wish Discord had an actual usable light theme. What they have now is an abomination. They probably look at the stats and see nobody uses the light theme and think "not worth to fix". Of course nobody uses it... it's unusable.

Why are macros banned? What kind of stuff can you do with macros? Spam?

She calls it PDF but maybe she just means any ebook format.

Also PDF can be text (instead of scanned pictures, etc) and can easily be converted to any other text format, from EPUB to TXT.

I looked at the games when they launched and they all were indie rubbish, so what can I tell you.

In my experience Telegram has an outage every couple of months, while WhatsApp only drops dead once a year or so.

Apart from the (more than obvious) technical feats, they've raised a lot of money and can afford to offer all of their services, some of them a bit expensive, for free. If they can't find a way to monetise, though, they'll be in trouble.

Had TeamSpeak or Mumble been able to offer hosted services for free, maybe Discord wouldn't have existed.

This is shameful. I have no words. It's practically a verbatim copy. Of course, getting the font sizes wrong, because it's Android. But other than that, just shameful. It doesn't even look like Material design. I seriously hope they change it before release.

It's like the engineer in charge of the feature couldn't get a hold of a designer and so had to make the design himself... so he just took if off his own phone.

Some of those purchased (OS, video, ads), some of those getting considerably worse as years pass (search engine, maps). And don't forget adtech will eventually blow up.

But well, if they can keep buying stuff, then they are okay. It's what Facebook is doing.

The Pixel could've been a success if they hadn't sold it at such a high price. They think they are Apple, but they obviously are not.
