Sounds like the file type verification on WhatsApp is not on mime-type but only on extension. Some receivers might have trouble opening these though.

I… might have been that co-worker.

I’m afraid I sometimes am that guy, but with my glass of cold water. I instinctively say ‘aah’ after my first sip.

Thank god I’m working at home half of the time.

The issue with me is that I then replace the snack with two or three sandwiches at home, which mostly contains more calories than the snack I was yearning for…

Helium would definitely be an easy win for the wolf.

I really like the hand they drink with switches in each panel.

But the image states the environment right, not specifically the climate.

I’d just be happy that people like me. On a bun nonetheless. But a like is a like.

I thought that plants benefited from having their fruits eaten. As animals (like humans) defecate the seeds in different places, with enough manure to grow.

As I understand the term genocide, that seems not to exactly be what is happening here. Although one could say it certainly rhymes with it.

Didn’t read your part for non USians so was searching on the left side of the chart. Still wanted to say thanks though for adding it :p

Floaters are one thing, but what about the internal electric / static activity you can see, what is that called? I was always way more intrigued by that than some eyeball sludge.

Do you see a reflection of neural activity or something? Just like floaters they’re only visible when looking at larger plain things with 1 colour. They seem projected, and less obvious than the floaters but more common in your whole view.

The app of course needs access to the Internet, through your WiFi or mobile Internet. However, depending on the app, phone OS and the security configuration of your local network setup it could have access to other devices as well.

But that’s usually on purpose or by accident of the user. In court, one valid question could be if TikTok tries to make use of such a configuration, and for what reasons.

So I think the question itself is not that bad, if it got a clarification / follow-up question like the above.

Very interesting, thanks! And I’d guess that if it’s like a celebrity who gets mass voted on, without him/her knowing or agreeing and wins, they could easily just say they’re not up to the task, minus peer-pressure. In theory if they’d get all the votes, the elections should be done once more.

But if people insist and again only vote on this celebrity, could that person explicitly upfront claim not to be a valid vote?

What if two people with the same name are sort of politically active (not on ballot) and you write a name down, which one gets the vote?

And what if I come up with a meme to vote for some random person, and people copy that and all vote for someone who unknowingly wins.

I’m interested if they have protocols for these (unlikely, but possible) scenarios.

Interesting, would you still be able to write someone’s name down if it’s not on the ballot? And could that be anyone’s name?

Thanks for correcting me, you are right about the image scanning. Added an edit to my statement.

It depends on if you trust Meta. Generally speaking there is end-to-end encryption in WhatsApp, which means only you and the person you chat with can decrypt your messages / media (source). I believe there are some weak spots in group chats, mostly caused by users themselves. Not sure about the new Community function but I’d be careful with what I share there.

Some parties like Apple have decided to scan photos from your device for illegal material (edit: after backlash they dropped this for now, my bad). If using an app like WhatsApp I’d personally be aware that something like that might happen in the future as well. I’d not be surprised if some employees might (temporarily) be able to access more data than widely assumed, for debugging reasons in case of bugs.

Personally I take the risk for pragmatic reasons, but it doesn’t hurt to be a bit cautious / aware.

Plain copy paste without a critical view is not recommended, but it surely provides good pieces of code from time to time. Especially in obscure frameworks/languages, compared to what can be googled.

ChatGPT 4 is a really big difference with 3.5 though. What took me hours together with the 3.5, was fixed in a few minutes with 4.

Tomato soup with kidney beans can make it way more filling and gives the taste more body. Other less-western combinations with tomato work as well; like rice / beans, some sweet pepper, onion / tomato mixed sauce (perhaps even add apple or banana).

Otherwise stuff like Burritos and Chili recipes are always great.
