   Sorry for getting the terminology wrong. I don't use iPhones. I meant coupling the "Find My network" feature for iPhones and AirTags.

   As opposed to not linking "find my phone" to "find AirTags".

   Thanks for pointing out the encryption. Would be nice if the original article did explain a bit what's actually going on...

   Thanks for pointing out the encryption. That changes things a bit, IMHO. Would have been nice if the article explained a bit what is actually happening. The wikipedia article doesn't mention it either...

   Sorry for coming across as using bad faith. It's just that I didn't understand the overall model. And the article didn't explain it. Also, I wouldn't blame the victim. I'd rather blame Apple for making their users o

    And the iPhone will share that information globally without asking for permission? I can see how that is a privacy concern.

    Can somebody explain how the stalking actually works? As I understand, the wireless technology is short-range? How does the stalker know where the tag is if they're not next to it?

    Facebook used to reject my email address, because the local part was "email", i.e., "email@my-domain.tld". I was not amused.

    That's s false dichotomy. Why not support different types of users at the same time? Zulip is more of a hybrid between a forum and a chat service, and I think it does that really well.

    The problem I have with Discord (as well as with IRC and Slack and other "chat" services) is insufficient structure to get a good overview of what's going on. Maybe it's not supposed to be used in a completionist way, bu

    I do. But I don't care about having a full list of changes. I rather want the top changes and features explained in a lot of detail. I think the [VSCode] release notes are a great example. [VSCode] https://code.visualstudio.
