You have to specifically click a button to use it. That's a good compromise between jumping through hoops to enable it if opt-in.

The main difference compared to Facebook for example is, that you don't see that if you don't want to. There are no "live tickers" in your face of what people you follow are doing. Well at least for now. Curation is the

I wonder how the elections worked all these years without Internet... Is the media rather concerned they won't be able to orchestrate the voters?

Interesting, you could set Android phones to 3G only since I can remember (2010).

Sure, but since when has that been an obstacle ... My home PC has a license for W10 Pro, but I run LTSB instead. Trading less "features"/more power over my OS of LTSB with a possible improper licensing violation is a gray are

Yep, as soon I've found about him, I've checked out the documentary series, it should be viewed in schools. But that would probably be bad for business as it's not OK for masses to be aware of the techniques.

I wish people would stop parroting about Goebbels to this phenomena, because the real "innovator" in the propaganda was the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays [1] (Goebbels was a big fan of him). His manipulation techniques a

To be fair, the BS is on the Google part too. Nougat runs on old binaries on a 2011 Galaxy Nexus just fine. Vulkan or OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics ? Yeah, I really need those for checking my email and browsing the web on the phone. Imagine MS blo

At the end of the day Signal doesn't transfer messages realiably, which is also often repeated problem on the Google Play reviews. So I can't put my confidence in a messenger which can't reliably deliver instant messages. Not

Seems like a result of the babysitting in modern gaming. Also there's a lack of learning that loss and bad feelings aren't icky and there's nothing wrong with someone who feels that instead prescribing them medication. The ch

Btw, Wire [1] messenger just implemented timed messages which expire, like Wickr offers. Combined with a non-requirement for registration with a phone number and Google Play Services makes it even more ideal. [1] https://medium.c
