“ancient evils” are usually things like blasphemy, insubordination or having intrinsic self-worth.

Stories are, though, which is why recipes have long, rambling introductions about the author’s grandmother’s childhood in a small village in Sicily or whatever.

He’s technically not wrong.

They’re exactly as scientific as the Victorian spiritualists who talked about “vibrational energies” and such, which is to say, not at all.

The secret source of Samsung’s consumer-electronics branding was putting a letter X in brand names (Galaxy, Exynos, Bixby) for that extra futuristic high-tech frisson. Then Space Trump came along and singlehandedly made that entire aesthetic deeply cringeworthy, so naturally Samsung would be wanting to ditch their Xs in the same way that McDonalds made Ronald McDonald look less Michael Jacksonlike.

At least they didn’t enshittify their existing properties with this crap.

IIRC, it’s still illegal in many Australian states.

They’re only laughing because deep down they know they’re beta-cuck manlets who will never be an alpha-chad like you. It’s an involuntary nervous reaction to feeling viscerally outclassed and unmanned by your aura of effortless brocious dominance.

Marching band music. Can’t get enough of it.

Which territories will the hearing-aid functionality be enabled in? I understand it requires regulatory approval, which exists in the US. What the situation in, say, the EU, UK or Australia?

Murdering your wife is one of those things that, no matter what else you achieve in your life, people will say “there goes Hans the wife murderer”. Even if you only ever murdered one wife and have shown no signs of making a habit of it.

IIRC, they do forbid third-party clients from their network. You can build it from source, but you won’t be able to connect to production Signal servers.

Third-party clients would not necessarily be a bad thing. Signal has limited resources, and as such has to cut corners. I for one would love a native desktop client that’s not Electron bloatware.
