Hardly ever I come across a person more self centered and a bigger fan of virtue signaling as you. You ignored literally everything we said, and your alternative was just "sms". Even to the point of saying that the other commenter should stop talking to their 47 friends and family members.

Lots of people. I need it because it's how my clients at work prefer to communicate with me, also how all my family members and friends communicate.

Yes, there are. You just have to live in one of the many many countries in the world where the overwhelming majority of the population uses whatsapp as their communication app. Like my country. Where not only friends and family, but also businesses and government entities use WhatsApp as their messaging app. I have at least a couple hundred reasons to use WhatsApp, including all my friends, all my family members, and all my clients at work. Do I like it? Not really. Do I have a choice? No. Just like I don't have a choice on not using gmail, because that's the email provider that the company I work for decided to go with.

Right?! It's literally just a messenger, honestly, all I expect from it is that it's an easy and reliable way of sending messages to my contacts. Anything else is questionable.

Oh, that's quite cheap! I was afraid it was going to be one of those "cool indie tech" products that costs hundreds of dollars and makes no sense for the consumer except as a cool gimmick. If they can make them a bit cheaper through mass production, this might actually be an alternative.

This is cool, but how much was it?

I'm not even 30 yet and I ripped CDs in my youth. I didn't use limewire though, we would use torrents already at that point.

How dare you ask people on the internet to have reading, interpretation and critical thinking skills and not just read the headline and immediately jump to conclusions based on superficial evidence at best?!

You're a computer boomer, basically don't count. A lot of millennials, with no relation to tech, can use the computer at least for basic stuff. That can't be said about any other generation.

I use syncthing with obsidian, and save my files in a cloud synced folder on my desktop. Free sync across all my devices, plus easy cloud backups.

Great! I hope he fucks America deep enough, it's high time for that Empire to crumble. I just also hope rhat he doesn't destroy the rest of the world with him, just the part of the world that voted for him. If he can take a few multi-billion dollar corporations down a peg with him might be even better.

Oh damn! I watched the show many years ago, but the joke flew straight over my head.
