I'm from Mexico, and the most used chat application is WhatsApp. It's used for EVERYTHING. I use Telegram only for contacting my family members (both my parents and my brother). They also use it only for this family chat. All my (and their) contacts use WhatsApp instead.

Now with the news that Telegram will collaborate with Twitter, I feel that I should delete it. Not that Zuck is any better than Musk, but still...

Also I don't think it's worth the effort to teach my parents yet another messaging app, like signal.

Everybody is a bot except you.

Some decades ago when I was still an engineering student, my team had to present an electronic assignment. The damn circuit didn't work, no matter what I did. So I decided to go ask the teacher for advice. I walked away a couple of meters, when my teammates told me that the circuit finally started working. As soon as I went back, it failed again. We soon determined that it failed only when I was near it. My teammates presented the assignment while I was at the other side of the lab. We passed the assignment, and sure enough, when I approached again to pick up my things, the damn circuit stopped working again.

I guess the context is some anti-drug campaign, but still WTF?

So the world is now wasting energy and resources to generate AI content in order to combat AI crawlers, by making them waste more energy and resources. Great! 👍

I FUCKING HATE ketchup. I can't tolerate the taste or the texture. But I recognize that people that love ketchup are not evil, just misguided.

Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.

I recommend that before using an AUR helper, you should familiarize yourself with the process by cloning, reading the files, compiling, and installing manually. Then after you think you are good you can install a helper. I use yay.

Also, sometimes pacman itself gets updated and your AUR helper doesn't work anymore. When that happens you have to update or recompile your helper manually. If you are not familiar with the process it can be difficult. I'm talking from experience, one day after an update my helper didn't work and I didn't remember how to do all the process manually, and I had to re read the wiki again.

Well, if what you have been doing doesn't work, then stop doing it, and do something different.

Dude, looks like you are just looking for an excuse to be an asshole. Don't ask for permission, just go and make other people suffer, if that's what you want. Let's see how far you get with that mindset. Maybe one day you'll be the president of a country. Shrugs
