Open type fonts have these capabilities built in. It's up to the designer to implement it in useful ways like this.

Those bottles now run north of $150, so you're better off being sober in more ways than one!

What's your budget? If your friend is into bourbon then most everything here he's probably tried. To get a unique gift bottle will cost a bit more, depending where you are.

Simpsons has become so... tame. Among other words that rhyme, such as dart, cart, and e-art.

I didn't realize the LED was no longer ubiquitous! I rely on mine, and I take it a step further with missed notification reminder for a repeating audio tone every few minutes. I don't like having to stare at my phone all day long looking for work messages.

Too be fair, the AITA format is typically a self post, not an article link. We're used to commenting on the title only when it's worded like that.

I hope that gets changed when the next update finally goes out

Not to mention they are the superior salad utensil.

Snapdrop and pairdrop both support txt. On a PC right click your target. Android method will probably vary based on what app you're using.

Bingo. It's wild to me to hear other countries doing tons of their payments via apps. US is 10 years behind the rest of the world on that.

We have things like Venmo and cashapp that approximate the same thing, but in the end it's just the same ACH transfers the banking industry has used for 30 years and takes days to process. The apps just hide that behind the scenes. FedNow actually means instant and 24/6 (still doesn't run on Sunday, if I recall correctly).

SMS. Universal and ubiquitous thanks to free or nearly free inclusion in phone plans. American English has no need for expanded character sets and carriers/Apple/Google have added just enough features on top that the vast majority of people aren't left wanting for more.

Instant payment was literally impossible until this summer, and given it's so new almost no bank has support for it yet. Privacy/encryption don't enter into most people's consciousness.

What does that make me?

I hit a wall on mobile.

Something like this should do well as long as one doesn't mind looking like an urban granny.

Lots of great ones here. The Witches came out in 1990, so I hope I can slip that in.

I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.

Yep. Primary chat protocol is still SMS. The general population hasn't latched on to WhatsApp or others like many countries have.

Because flaunting your smug and condescending sense of superiority using outdated technology will really get your point across to disaffected teens.

How about we let that mindset die with the boomer generation?

I don't know all the other apps listed here but I do know last I looked Nine was the only one that actually had Exchange ActiveSync support. ActiveSync is a licensed protocol so you won't find it supported in a free app, open source or not, not without some alternative monetization that compromises your privacy. Nine has no ads and doesn't run through their cloud. It also optionally isolates the security model to the app so remote wipe and other employer policies don't apply to your OS. I also didn't want the corporate address book integrated with my personal one, and it lets me keep that separate, too.

It was specifically exempted from API fees due to it's stronger accessibility tools and that it is open source and non-commercial.
