What SimpleX, Signal, or any app like this need first and foremost is traction, as new users generate more new users. One of Signal's goals is usability (usually achieved by being simple, as in no complexity for the end user). In my opinion SimpleX lacks that. This is the same reason Signal needs a phone number: populating your contact list with users already on the platform

Even among humans this varies, I remember that in some countries shaking your head horizontally means yes and vertically means no. This means it is a cultural behaviour in humans, but an innate behavior in dogs. I don't think it makes sense comparing those two behaviors.

I work at a software development school, and ChatGPT does a lot of damage here too. We try to teach that using it as a tool to help learning is different from using it as a "full project code generator", but the speed advantages it provides makes it irresistible from many students' perspective. I've lost many students last year because they couldn't pass a simple code exam (think FizzBuzz difficulty level) because they had no access to internet, and had to code in Emacs. We also can't block access to it because it starts an endless game where they always find a way to access it.

It's scary how that annotation changes the reading voice in my head

Not so much on board space

A good romance anime with a real ending for once. It feels good to have closure on their story, and not some teasing for another season that will never come.

The platforms should be held liable when those groups can easily be accessed by anyone, and moderation would be "simple" as the conversations aren't even encrypted. We aren't asking for more of Telegram than Youtube or Facebook

He is not arrested for having developed the Telegram protocol and apps, but for failing to moderate his platform, where he could totally do so as the messages are not encrypted (except for secret chats which doesn't even support groups) on his servers, which he has control over.

No they mean their screwmates

And any poll that doesn't require it is easily manipulated

A friend of mine who read the LN told me that some differences from the LN in the first anime made it quite complicated to continue the story from there.

IIRC that's a very old name of the Signal communication protocol
