Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
I remember when Signal used to be a drop-in replacement for SMS. It used phone numbers so you could automatically upgrade to secure messaging if your recipient also had Signal, and just use regular SMS otherwise.
This is outrageous. Where are the images with humorous text? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Risa. You post text like that, they put you in meme. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Killing Tuvix, we have a special meme for Tuvix. You are Kevin? Right to meme. You are drinking coffee: right to meme, right away. You undercook leola root? Believe it or not, meme. You overcook leola, also meme. Undercook, overcook. We have the best treks in the galaxy because of meme.
Every reverse-engineering study I've read has been about the apps built in top of the Google API, not the Google binaries. Here's one, and here's another, and neither paints a flattering picture.
Maybe it's possible to build a perfect implementation, but that is not what we got.
You know what does work? Masks and vaccines. Phone-based tracking was a dangerous waste of time.
No, it's a magical morbidly obese senior citizen. Totally different.
