Just to be clear they still won't be able to interact with you after they're blocked. The only change is they can keep seeing your tweets directly in their account, as opposed to having to log out.

There isn't a legitimate need for this feature, that's the point.

It's the opposite. People with serious issues (i.e. stalkers, trolls etc.) will continue following on a second account or proxy. Meanwhile regular accounts with legitimate criticisms (for example pointing out misinformation, calling ou

A compromise would be having a slot inside the case. But we all know why they don't have any option to increase the storage to begin with. "That'll be an additional $500 for the upgrade please."

The iPhone is not waterproof, it's IP68 rated meaning it's water resistant. Swimming with your phone is absolutely not recommended and I don't know a single person that does this (unless we count people using special waterpro

"Worse" in what sense? There are of course always trade-offs when compressing. In terms of size though even the reviewer from the above video - who says he much prefers JPEG XL - claims his AVIF compression lead to a very signific

by trompetenaccoun 2y ago
This may be a naive question but can't we have the features of JPEG XL combined with the compression algorithm of AVIF? Why does it have to be one or the other? Size clearly matters, especially for the majority of the world's popu

Never heard of any credible reasons to distrust Veracrypt. Don't know who these "people" are either, none of the comments named anything more concrete than what sounds like online rumors.

Russia and China are allies. And I'm not sure if Beijing would even be interested in spying on TOR users since it's blocked so thoroughly it's basically unusable for Chinese residents.

Very interesting. Is that to avoid confusion with standard Arabic?

Apart from Ethiopia, are there any places where they don't use either Latin or Arabic scripts in everyday life? There are technically a whole bunch of alphabets of course but they aren't used much afaik. Maybe the Tuareg script? I

Hard to know why people downvote, but I just want to reiterate how ridiculous it is for someone to make a claim, provide no data or other evidence, admit they have never personally observed this and finish it off with "do your own rese

You claimed the problem got worse but if you've never seen it yourself, what data are those "well known" facts based on? Also naming names of criminals is not illegal, I'm confident you know this.

It's not just the police. How could such a corrupt police exist without corrupt superiors higher up in the government? Fear of governments is justified, they're the most powerful entity in our world. They can get away with murder.

Last paragraph is a bit melodramatic. Here's what's publicly known: - Boeing is a 'too big to fail' corporation with a significant source of revenue coming from the government. 40% in 2024¹, billions of dollars of public

Not sure adding to this existing problem is a good idea. Non-electric cars should be completely banned from city centers sooner or later. Noise is a hugely underestimated source of stress (and by proxy, illness). Automated deliveries by bot

We could start with OpenAI itself. The raw output of the models is clearly manipulated by the company, leading to politically biased results. Which many of their users naively take as 'truth' because they think it's artificia

Why was this installed on all their devices in the first place? I have nothing to do with Verizon, I've never even been to the US. This is something to worry about because all it takes is someone having access to your unlocked device.

Yep. I still use the iphone 7+ as a backup phone, it still gets security updates and runs modern apps fine with 3GB! Slow compared to modern phones, but that's not down to the RAM, the memory management is amazing, never had an issue.

It's a valid argument on the internet where we use "free" services that are costly to run, like you described. There is no need for ads in public spaces though. Banning them is fair, it doesn't make good corporations les
