Is this even detectable? Doesn’t it just show up as a regular mouse and keyboard?

I think they're talking about just the murder-for-hire. It may have just been undercover agents the whole time and no murders actually occurred.

Strange that issue types is only available if your repository is part of an organization. Why is this not configurable at the repository level?

You have to click into it as it's not visible from the preview.

I was skeptical but I just opened it and the UI does look cleaner and less bloated than X. However, UI is fixable and what matters more is content. There needs to be a compelling reason to switch, and I don't see one yet.

Signal has probably the worst UX of any messaging app. It also used to require sharing phone numbers to add contacts, which imo is already a privacy violation.

Telegram is fast, responsive, gets frequent updates, has great group chat, tons of animated emojis, works flawlessly on all desktop and mobile platforms, has great support for media, bots, and a great API, allows edits and deleting messages for all users, and I really like the sync despite it not being e2e.

I actually worked on this part of the Google Search infrastructure a long time ago. It's just JSC with a bunch of customizations and heuristics tuned for performance to run at a gigantic scale. There's a lot of heuristics to penalize bad sites, and I spent a ton of time debugging engine crashes on ridiculous sites.

Nobody has ever linked me or talked to me about something on Threads, and the only reason I know it still exists is because of annoying ads on Instagram.

Is it a ghost town or am I just not the target demographic (what is the target demographic)?

Threads is far from mainstream and just filled with spam and OnlyFans spammers at this point.
