That was more than a day ago though. Trump’s lack of prudence ensures that companies can’t plan ahead. That includes the Taiwan based framework.

It matters though. Like in Germany telegram is associated with hard right wings groups. Telling someone you use telegram makes them assume that you are a part of hard right ideologies.
It’s a shame as the telegram app is really snappy. You always have to say that you are on telegram but are not right wing. Even then people can be suspicious.
Text speak mostly came from typing on dumb phone number pads to enter text. Like if you wanted to type “hi” you would have to enter “4-4 pause 4-4-4” As you might expect 5 putting presses with a pause between some of them just to say “hi” got painful. Thus the shortening.
Text messages were always charged per message. But each message was limited to 160 ascii characters or less if you were using other encodings. You could send 1 character or 160 characters but it cost 20 cents (at least where I grew up) either way.
This is all separate from l33t speak which is a whole different thing.
Very much so.
They are paying for the service and expect appropriate treatment.
Companies generally frown upon their data being taken. It’s only consumers who use “free” services that really suffer from this. After all, if you’re not paying you are the product.
It’s only weird because it’s not CarPlay or Android Auto. As soon as you have one of those it suddenly becomes nice and useful.
Then it’s a nice big touch screen that has everything you need from your phone.
You’re the one who’s in solidarity with Billionaires in the U.S. and Russia.
When your argument celebrates something that hurts those who are most vulnerable and benefits only billionaires you need to think about if you’re on the right side of not.
Tankie is when you choose to support authoritarian strong men at the expense of vulnerable people.
This post feels less progressive and more tanky.
I’d rather have progressive media in conservative countries than not. Even if they are funded by the U.S.
The USA does a lot wrong, but not everything done by the USA is wrong. USAID was on the better side of things and it’s sad that Elon gutted it.
The fact that tankies and Elon/Project 2025 are happy to see USAID gutted is telling.
Yah. Like I said. Lack of prudence with plenty of unpredictability on top.
