Yeah but you're still limited to the chat mode - you can't consume the data in any other way. With a bot, you could provide some sort of other interface - either via bot commands, or an alternative web view, with fancy exports etc

My girlfriend doesn't even self-text, she just texts me random stuff on whatsapp followed by "ignore that". When I told her about this app, she said it sounds great and she'll check it out. I personally think there is so

For the sake of this publication, I hope that they got paid by Google (in money or favours) for this rambling low-quality "article". A dominant position in an open market with zero lock-in , is completely inconsequential to antit

Although I don't fully disagree (I have my problems with the current direction of mainstream leftism), there is one undeniable fact that is missing from your perspective: in many, many cases, political movements have to ask for 1000 to

No, I disagree. The Commission cannot pass anything on its own, the agenda is set by the Council and directives are effectively drafted by Parliament bodies (since MEPs have the ultimate say). The Commission largely routes things back and f
