  • In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

    If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

    If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

    I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

    You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.






  • From my experience on the road it actually happens with most brands and BMWs specifically.

    People also seemed to have forgotten that you’re supposed to use it to indicate what you are planning to do and not what you’re doing.

    I can see you’re changing lanes. I just want to know you’re planning on doing that so I can anticipate ( like break a little ) rather than being cut off and having to slam my brakes.

    Or that I know you’ll slow down because you want to take turn, rather than randomly breaking.

    Fuck i hate drivers. And I wish I could just work from home more days. The only reason I’m not is because they want, not need, me at the office 3/5.




  • If I can make an estimated guess, and this might very well be completely wrong, I’m guessing if iphone devices text each other the chats appear in blue bubbles implying it’s end to end encrypted and secure. If they use imessage to contact a non apple user it will probably be in green and not be E2EE ( regular text message ).
