...He's clearly talking about third-party replacements for the default messaging app, ie. apps that are allowed to interface with the SMS/MMS protocol implemented by your phone. Android has had this capability forever. Not sure wh

Haha that’s a great find. Google may be one of the most conventional companies out there now.

How many of these companies actually conduct in-person "onsites" anymore? I would guess most of these are still remote — granted, I haven't done the interview circuit in a couple years now. It would be cool to have some kind

I have to ask once again if you know what apocryphal means. Your comment added nothing, since it appeared it was informing 'darkerside' that the fact he mentioned isn't true, but he already knew that given his use of the word

> You should be free to opt-in to tracking and personalization if that's what you want. Agreed. So why is the EU making that illegal? I want to be able to use products for free by opting in to personalized ads so that businesses can

> SEO spam (which is fueled by ads) Huh? SEO exists because companies don't want to pay for ads. If advertising disappears, SEO will just become more prevalent and we'll have to suffer through more and more garbage.
