Thanks. Reading that thread, I think he is saying that he wants to remain centralised and federating third-party servers and traffic isn't his plan. I know in theory that sounds "bad" but it's their service I guess? In t

Oh so no way to explicitly send a SMS from iMessage on an iPhone now? That'll explain why my mum can never ever get in touch with me.

Yes I have a 1972 VW Beetle, and a 2016 VW Beetle. I can safely say that the former is far simpler and also doesn't require a computer to diagnose or repair. It also doesn't have any firmwares that I can't update, eg. the blu

The inability to fully understand how a system works due to the interconnecting pieces is not a problem unique to software either! That ship sailed a long time ago. E.g. with cars can the average person now repair it at home and maintain th

I am not upset about it at all - I think you are projecting that. I don't use it and it doesn't affect me. I was just presenting the alternative mechanism of using the established communication method of email for notification of

Not at all. You have that wrong. It is quite a funny way of presenting how I'd do it though! That'd be insane! I ring them up or SMS people.

Then the reality is insanity! My mind is blown.

Why not inform your friend of the outcome? Half of the group chats seem to be utter nonsense until a final outcome is made, particularly with arranging something. Or would you not want your friend to attend? The choice is: do I want my frie

That seems quite the choice to make: learn about group chats or send all your data to Facebook. It seems quite one-sided.

That just sounds like "everyone else is smoking, so I should start smoking too". Just because everyone else is doing it does not mean it is the right thing for you to do. In this instance, if developing friendships relies on me se

I live in the UK. I understand that people arrange items via WhatsApp but it seems baffling to me. Why not just use email to notify people?? When you sign up to any service, they ask for an email address. They don't ask for a mobile nu

On iPad, use 2 fingers on the keyboard and the keyboard becomes a touchpad.

I see mention of the toxic dictator stuff and non-reproducible builds mentioned through this thread - do you have info on that you can point me to? I am asking because a guy at work wanted me to install Signal as voice call quality on Duo w

Based on all the groups my wife is part of, it seems other people get absolutely nothing done in life since they appear to be sending pointless messages on a group constantly. Her phone is constantly buzzing, and 99.9% of it is utter nonsen

What hassle would that be? They could send you SMS or call you. Would they really find that too difficult? The mind boggles.

I got used to the strange looks. I got the strange looks when people heard I didn't use Facebook. If you asked them to sign up to a website on the Internet that was popular in your circles just so you could be friends, they'd refu

I have this problem. I use an Android phone, but have a Mac and iPad. My mum has no idea how to send an SMS to me so will send me messages on iMessage that I don't see for weeks because I haven't used the iPad or Mac (been working

Thankfully his approach is not the only approach - just don't use WhatsApp! I never have despite the pleadings of my friends to use it. If they can't be bothered to email or send an SMS to me or use Signal or video call via the mu

We also don't know how much the phone was. It could have been a very cheap device. My main phone was £200 and the previous one was £120. Looking on Amazon.com, a Huawei P Smart 2019 (32GB, 3GB) 6.21" FHD+ Display, Dual Camera, 340

Am I the only one who finds these kind of "what's changed" messages extremely annoying? They literally tell you nothing. They might as well put an empty space as what has changed. The same goes for other companies that put us

Is that because audacity does their own weird buttons and controls and drop-down menus etc?

Thanks for the reminder. I remember those days! All the kerfuffle just made me move to macos. Now I'm looking to move back...

Doesn't that seem reasonable though? Pay for the software you're using? I don't see the problem, other than the hospital not keeping tabs on what they'd installed.

Reminds me of what Joe Bonamassa said a year ago: https://youtu.be/JJERw-JSVO4 The current music industry model is not sustainable. It was barely sustainable before the current system but now it's well and truly dead,

That's a good observation! I have no specific fears at all, since I was wondering what sort of "experimentation" it involved. I wonder if the drawback will be that he/she will be incredibly bored once released to the &qu

They broke quicklook with Mojave too. You used to be able to press spacebar to get a preview of a file, then press shift and move to the previous file in a finder list, highlighting both of them but showing you a preview of the most recent

Agreed, it forces you to flail around the UI to make elements appear before you can use them. Combined with my MacBook's TouchBar that goes to sleep if you're thinking and not using the keyboard constantly whilst debugging, it dri

Those screenshots look infinitely more usable than the modern UIs, I have to say. And window shading will always be missed!

I agree and with the other privacy issues, I'll be staying on Mojave forever and moving to another OS. Back to Linux and WindowMaker I guess! It's like a snow blindness UI or staring at a white screen or seasonal affectedness diso

Snow blindness seems to come to the UI! And I thought the Windows 10 Settings app was bad but this takes the biscuit.
