And it usually turns out there were a number of loopholes or special exceptions made. Every community wants to have a “child prodigy”
Still extremely impressive and way smarter than any of us, but the gap is not as drastic as it is often made out to be

I’ve started generating an alias for every new company I sign up with. Nobody gets my actual address.

There are more concerns with radiation than just cancer risk.

- Comment on Were you on Facebook 10 years ago? You may be able to claim part of this $50 million payout 4 weeks ago:
I have, altogether, made over to $600 from FaceBook/meta class action privacy lawsuits in the past decade. In that time, I have not used FB (or even logged in), but I have also never deleted my account.
The payouts have been getting smaller - used to be $100+. The last one I got (this year) was for ~$40 or so.

- Comment on Friends are a bloatware. 2 months ago:
I was able to move roughly ~80 percent of my friend group to Signal. At a certain point, I let everyone know what I was doing and how to find me. Once people realized I ditched every other platform and was fully committed, they joined.
Different people have different tolerances, but if you’re consistent, downloading an app isn’t such a big ask.

It helps that it’s run by a nonprofit. No investors, no shareholders, no inevitable IPO.

Sweet! Single-file looks like a decent workaround for those links that get locked behind captcha when they’re being saved. Always frustrates me when I go to review a link and it turns out it only saved a cloudflare redirect lol
