Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is having a massive attention crave panic because everyone switched to Signal.

This’ll also extend far beyond American borders. We’re all in for some… interesting times…

Grifters, rejoice!

I am becoming convinced that trying to establish a generally applicable age limit is the wrong way to go about these types of things, but instead we must focus on identifying the specific developmental markers which represent each phase and focus on those. We should teach parents to “read” their children’s progress and determine dynamically, based on both general data and individual empirical observations. Some children may not be ready for Social Media even at 16, while others who have more natural social inclinations may be hampered by a delayed introduction of these realities.

We’ve been treating the subject of children like they’re a bulk product, but they’re just as individually specific as any other human being. They just lack a fully defined brain structure and the contextualisation and understanding which come from life experience, but I doubt anyone could argue they don’t have a personality or cognitive uniqueness.

Note: I am not talking about the age of consent! That one should always be a thing!

My name is Bender, please insert article subject and tone specs.

Yepyep, did the same on mine, I just zoomed the page out.

Honestly, really hope they did this on purpose, although I’ve seen plenty of cases where someone forgot to scale the text to Mobile and it went careening off-screen.

Comedy gold.

This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.

Joke’s on you, I hate myself!

Exactly, this seems a bit flimsy as far as links go… I mean, a better explanation would be the tendency of more inquisitive people to stay informed about pretty much everything, which will inevitably lead to a higher incidence of avoiding ad links. I’d also posit inquisitiveness is a “gateway” for Left-leaning views for the same reason - inquisitive people want to understand and make informed decisions. So, yeah, correlation without direct causation, which also applies to my example. But it just goes to show how easy it is to fall in these traps.

Jesus Christ, what the hell are we doing…

… what

Not again…

Truly, a day of loss for all Brazilians…

He’s just trying to subvert expectations, why not make things worse when you can’t make things better!

Honestly, it’s not that hard to make a truckload of money if you start off with a busload of money (in this analogy, the truck’s bigger). Capitalism is pretty much built to ensure that the rich will either stay rich or get richer unless they’re completely irresponsible with said riches.

And paying attention to trends isn’t a stroke of genius, either. As for marketing, the ‘fresh rebel tech magnate’ turned out to be just a shitposter without the proper context in which to “shine,” nothing more.

Magnets.

Heresy? Is that Roblox Burlyman? It’s heresy, right?

Eggy farts. Eggy farts aaall day long! Especially during the company meeting!
