Agreed. I can't imagine how he came upon that method of making a capital "A".

Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren't using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

"This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher."

Edit 2: I'm really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.

They probably threaten some space telescopes, too. The Starlink satellites are a little higher than Hubble. I would imagine they might take up a decent amount of field of view to Hubble, by being closer.

I would think that an IP address tells you the domain name by doing a simple DNS lookup.

If I understand correctly, someone other than your ISP could see the name of the website, since it isn't encrypted. I think it would bounce through several servers that could possibly read the data.

I can. I just was more interested in learning about a new package manager, rather than the main topic of the post.

Quick Change. It's full of big stars (Bill Murray, Randy Quaid, Geena Davis, Jason Roberts) but I never hear people talk about it. I find it pretty funny.

Is it encrypted while in transit between servers?

Just reading the text on the X site has some interesting contradictions, such as:

Benefits: Benefit from increased trust from other users who will see your ID verification label when they hover over your blue check mark.

More benefits to come: Speed up the process of obtaining a blue check mark through a simplified review process.

Translation: "You can trust us more because we will take more shortcuts in verifying people."

I wonder what he means that Biden is under investing on military spending towards China? Is there some defense spending bill that he has vetoed?

I can't find any picture of what Trump "truthed". Did he add any commentary with this article link he posted?

I expect some apps to eventually allow a user to merge like-named communities into a single "virtual" community. The Connect app already moved towards this by presenting your subscriptions grouped by community named, rather than instance. So I see all my "technology" communities listed next to each other, for example.
