But it was.

Telegram was launched in 2013 by the brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Previously, the pair founded the Russian social network VK, which they left in 2014, saying it had been taken over by the government.[23] Pavel sold his remaining stake in VK and left Russia after resisting government pressure.

Telegram is now based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The company is registered as an LLC in the U.S. and as a company in the British Virgin Islands.

That’s an S and a more different S alright.

Exactly. I’m in the same boat as you. The bulk of my exposure was in bands on MySpace. I was practically anonymous by the time Facebook became popular.

I’m still certain I’m in hundreds of other people’s pictures.

Sure, but that still doesn’t change that you don’t have control over other people’s pictures.

Only to an extent. Facial recognition photo scrubbing across the internet is a little tough to defend against, even for those who are privacy and security minded. Good software will find you in the background of photos. It’ll have your location and the time taken if the photos are geotagged too.

Sure, and the Holy Spirit is the universal Secretary of Defense, but they’re both also the President.

I think the problem lies in the underestimation of the potential for that level of personal data. The privacy counter-argument is usually “nothing to hide.” Psychographic profiling is the incredibly accurate practice of predicting an individual’s engagement based on previous choices, and is far more invasive than “telling secrets.”

This is absolutely necessary for anyone born before ~1985. I have so many “random facts” memorized from pre-internet days, and many of them have turned out to be half-right hearsay or straight up incorrect when faced with fact-checking.

Gotcha. I guess that’s the difference between programmer humor and computer architect humor.

Isn’t zero the same in base-2 as it is in base-10? Wouldn’t first place be 1, second place be 10, and third place 11?

Lucky for you, our current administration has increased funding for behavioral health services. Mental health is important, and struggling is nothing to be ashamed of. I hope you find the help you need.

Sexist and racist. You’re just religious persecution away from the trifecta of suck.

Do you believe women need to perform sexual favors to succeed?

They shouldn’t be giving you so much flac.

You’re right. The “shininess” of a brioche is from the egg wash.

You are correct. You don’t want to create suction in your mouth for a few days after having a tooth extracted. You’ll end up with something called a dry socket, which is far more excruciating than the initial pain of extraction.

No one expects the Spanish preposition!

Or when sounding like “A” as in neighbor and weigh

And on weekends and holidays, and all throughout May

And you always be wrong, no matter what you say.
