My work is on WhatsApp using several groups to manage info, my landlord set up a WA group and every tenant is required to be in it, my extended family communicates everything through WA groups, my friends and direct family were on Telegram because of me but then Durov's arrest happened and I don't think I can convince them again, I'm cooked LMAO

WhatsApp has actively been saying it uses the Signal protocol and that they cannot read your messages, the files you send or listen on your calls. It does that on its own Status feature, its blog, channel and even website ads (which worked on tech-illiterate people that can't use an adblocker)

At least in the Netherlands, it's very actively pushing a “You don't need Signal, just us” message.

They use Signal just for you even if they don't use it for themselves? You're not even the only one in this thread that says that.

Some of you know some really nice people!

You're retired?

Better do that thing where old people retire in Europe what I keep hearing so often about!

I guess I didn't know WhatsApp caught up that much to Telegram, the WhatsApp I knew used to support group chats and voice calls but nothing like channels, supergroups and following users, yet.

Which were they? As in what was their domain name?

WhatsApp. It's a direct WhatsApp clone.

I don't know, man, his seems pretty dead.

So far the American Ultra-rich have been doing well when they didn't get Luigi'd.

Happy to read it, good luck!

Thanks!

Man, I should add that to my To Watch list...
And another one, and another one gone

Wait what's te second one?

They could very well just do みゃ/Mya in their language. Even みゃお/Myao

Especially Balinese people do this unironically, and a lot.

It didn't show up when I first visited it, but it did after a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R)

I didn't copy anything to the clipboard, though.

Firefox 137.0 (64-bit) on Linux 6.8.0-57-generic on Mint 22.1

It actually outputs "\n" on a Windows system, but modern Windows to recognise that as enough of a newline, nowadays.

I don't really want to use what Lerdorf intended, PHP <= 4 was horrible

Actually a great point!

For me the answer is “Building backend applications with it instead of CLI applications, like Lerdorf intended.”

But also "\n" because it's easier and PHP_EOL is just an alias for "\n"; it's not even platform-dependent.

subsidiaries?

100%!

The most hectic places in the world are the screens-filled streets of Tokyo and New York IMO (that's not all the streets ofc)

Ads try to grab your attention or show off right into your face, removing them would 100% make life more tranquil.
