Really? Mine defaults to SMS if they don’t receive it as an iMessage message. I can’t recall it ever failing, only a long while back I would get a failure that prompts me to send as SMS - and I’d do it. It’s automatic now.
I’m weird

Out of my 10 most recent client contacts, only one has used SMS. The rest are all iMessage.
Sure, that’s anecdotal. But I’m in the UK and this is my experience.
Problem is, how do we know that the company is reputable, audited, and so on?
I’ve seen more places requiring verification - and each one of them seems to use a different verification company. How are there so many of these places, and why aren’t they more commonly known? Like Experian for credit, etc.
Sure it might sound good to keep them separate - but all that is doing is absolving the content host from liabilities for providing the adult content (somewhere) on their platforms and sites. Reddit don’t want to get involved, and I’ll bet they found the cheapest and easiest provider, or the first one in the search list and thought “good enough”.
Browser history? Just export as html or something and email it over…
“People can no longer remember passwords good enough to reliably defend against dictionary attacks, and are much more secure if they choose a password too complicated to remember and then write it down.
We’re all good at securing small pieces of paper. I recommend that people write their valuable passwords down on a small piece of paper, and keep it with their other valuable small pieces of paper: in their wallet.
Obscure it somehow if you want added security: write “bank” instead of the URL of your bank, transpose some of the characters, leave off your userid. This will give you a little bit of time if you lose your wallet and have to change your passwords. But even if you don’t do any of this, writing down your impossible-to-memorize password is more secure than making your password easy to memorize.”
I was intrigued by this point:
We replied saying that there’s a lot of scam apps on the App Store, and that there isn’t an easy report scam button. We should have clarified that the relevant button only shows after installing an app, as well as being located at the bottom of the page - a text link saying “report a problem”.
And Apples reply?
Gary … replied with what sounded like, and hallucinated like, a Gen AI answer: “it’s on every single product page for every single app that’s available on the App Store, very prominently”.
No it’s not. The button does indeed only appear on installed apps, which is a problem if you’re already aware of issues with the app.
And it’s not prominent - it’s placed right at the bottom and in the small text like the privacy of policy link above it. You could easily miss it as you could just perceive it be part of the privacy/terms links - and who has time to read those??
Ding! Any gains in productivity will mean more work for less people.
Anyone who can’t see this coming - I have several bridges for sale.
This worldcoin? Yeah, it’s looking real good right now…
Whilst that’s true, it’s a good opportunity to push Linux as a potential alternative in a few different ways - reduction of e-waste, free and private oriented alternative, simple (in some situations/distro) for certain basic users, or even someone who wants to get a little more technical. It’s good to promote the idea that there is more to computers than a monolithic monopoly called Microsoft.
All our clients use it. It’s bloody annoying. I have dozens who use WhatsApp, and like three who use Signal. Ironically, the three that use Signal also use WhatsApp and guess which one they use to contact us?
It’s a problem when it’s got mass market traction to get people to switch. I’m still trying to get off Messenger but some people insist on it… Going to have to get firm about that.
The enshittification process in a nutshell.
Protest on them trying to enact age consent laws.
By showing the message rather than Pornhub’s vast library of adult content, Aylo “is communicating directly with the French people to tell them how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is”, Solomon Friedman of Aylo’s owner, Ethical Capital Partners, told reporters in a video call on Tuesday.
Paris has this year gradually introduced requirements for all adult websites to have users confirm their age with details like a credit card or ID document.
In a bid to preserve privacy, operators must offer a third-party “double-blind” option that would keep the platforms themselves from seeing users’ identifying information.
Edit - the sauce - Pornhub, YouPorn owner suspends access to French users over age verification law
To the surprise of nobody… 😆
They were doing a business.
We’re aimed at achieving a new level of employee empowerment, enhancing both our team’s performance and the customer experience.
To use an ancient acronym:
ROFLMAO
They will probably use the YouTube model - “you’re wrong and that’s it”.
Last update 2010. Makes me sad. Good times using IRC, I should find a modern program and get back on there.
DuckDuckGo has made A.I. results optional, which is a good move.
Companies that are making it fixed can go swimming in lava for all I care (looking at you Google).
Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg…
Now let me stop you right there. The answer is no. It’s always no when Zuck is involved.
“Trust me bro” or “do your own research”.
The burden of proof is on the person making the claims - and as they haven’t backed it up with sources, I’d say it’s bullshit.
