Largely owned by tencent afaik, putting things that are QoL and somewhat accessibility behind paywalls (like themes are a nitro only thing), do nothing against the spam bot malware thing (and they can scan the messages, since you can set the nsfw filter on them), not searchable outside of the app so things can get lost easily, their audio function is somewhat known to be problematic (for me it „catches“ the full audio out without software in between, so game sound or Netflix or whatever gets cut off completely). Those are what I can think of quickly. I am also not knowledgeable enough to accurately judge their software in terms of performance, but it feels very bad to me.

I also unticked the two things below, which told me I can’t get experimental features if I do so. Who knows how they label stuff internally, maybe they have something new in regards to contact scanning and we got „volunteered for testing“?

Am also with you in the situation that discord isn’t my first choice, but one big community I engage in is there.

Thanks for this. It was on for me and I am the same as you with regards to apps getting to read my contacts.

For context I am in the EU and am using an iPhone.

Yes totally. But it was also funny how that is the thing everybody is drilled on to the degree of wanting to make super extra sure.

We recently got those training mails (legit ones just to make that clear) and the IT got so many tickets about it despite telling us that they were planned and showed an example of how they looked on teams, they had to make another post that essentially said „yes, this is legit, you can click the link.“

It amused me greatly.

You are not supposed to wash cast iron with soap and you also need to let them cool down enough before washing because they can get a temperature shock otherwise and crack inside.

Windows being „helpful“ is the worst. I can’t remember an instance were it actually was helpful. Just some were it managed to break things.

I know of someone who wanted to dualboot for certain games and their windows did exactly that too. At one point their AMD driver managed to uninstall itself somehow. On Linux they never had any problem whatsoever.

I was today old when I learned other people do the cheese thing too. I only like mild cheese and usually on bread, but sometimes I have the urge to just eat a bit like that.

I live in an area that was next to perfect when I first learned about OSM, so I had no real reason to contribute. I have seen their maps used by our public transport to show the way to/from stops (or even inside them on the particularly large ones).

This just reminded me that I can in fact contribute and I will check out the iOS options for doing so.

When I first started to learn touch typing I used some popular documents. It recommended to do that, especially for people with smaller hands. I eventually moved on from it, but I only use left shift since I can’t reach right shift in any sane manner without moving my whole hand.

I feel like I am not yet, but I will be. Some of the subs I have on Reddit aren’t here yet, partly because they’re either niche or liked by a lot of people that are less tech literate including their maintainers.

I have gone trough some instances before deciding on my current one and I like the stance of most that are for an active discussion, against mindless downvotes and for overall more communication than social media consumption.

The fact that there is next to no automated account making will also help in the long run I think. It makes it an less attractive target for the bad kind of bots imo.
