Seems about the same?

Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.

The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…

I just wish Signal had better history and backup features.

As fun as it is to watch Musk do dumb stuff, giving him credit for killing HSR is a reach. There’s a really great article about it here — even Epstein was involved for some reason!

Well, to quote a classic film:

New Coke was the 80s, not 70s — they actually briefly brought it back as part of a Stranger Things tie-in. Super interesting to actually taste it.

It’s another frontend – specifically, it’s this: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!

In short, open source APIs for everything.

1. Open up Facebook Messenger to Matrix, allowing interoperability with all Matrix clients
2. Open up Facebook/Instagram to ActivityPub, allowing for third party clients
3. Remove account gates for public Facebook/Instagram pages
4. RSS feeds for public Facebook/Instagram pages

That’s also my favorite name
