How about listening to a message in portrait, accidentally moving your phone to landscape, and then having the playback stop and lose position in the audio stream. Or how about losing voice recordings constantly? Seriously? I'm baffled at their priority list. Whoever is directing these efforts is asleep at the wheel. The frustration factor using this app in iOS is so goddamn high.
I live in Florida. Recently a major insurance company, Gulfstream Property and Casualty Insurance Co., has gone insolvent and liquidated. I'm pretty sure the reason is all the free roof replacements that they were handing out to people with hail or wind damage. One neighbor gets their roof replaced, tells another neighbor how to play the system, roofers get paid big by claiming the roofs are worse off than they are, getting full replacements for minor problems. Next thing you know, insurance companies are pulling out of Florida. People with rooves over 15 years old (even if they're rated for 30 year) have next to no options, and the one or two they have are now 50% more expensive. I got nailed by that. No free roof for me, and now I have to pay more. Great system.
Would have liked to see these numbers adjusted for cost of living. Making $145,000 in silicon valley is not anywhere comparable to making $145,000 in Podunk Florida, and thus I'm not sure what value to derive from this data, with respect to my own earnings.
And many of us switched to Signal due to bad-faith money-grubbing behavior of a certain other company. There was an illusion of free, safe, "by the people for the people" and by implication, commercial interest and profit wasn't the driving force.
Why am I seeing payment integration while I still lose my place in an audio playback when I switch from landscape to portrait? Or the fact that I still can't tell whether I've listened to a message yet or not? Still losing messages in the middle of recording.
Honestly, having a hard time with my switch from WhatsApp to Signal, and certainly don't need any cryptocurrency integration.
IIRC, that was the exact argument for disabling image loading when it was first introduced.
The responsible thing for services like gmail and o365 to do would be to eat the resource costs and just open ALL external content within a privacy sandbox, thereby polluting the data. Then you can re-enable displaying of images for everyone and the experience for designers and end users gets better.
Isn't it amazing how we're suddenly being educated on this special case in American history. Trump and his goons want to use this as precedent to pull, essentially a coup. Precedent that goes right back to a time when racist slave masters were "losing value"... imagine that. How utterly depressing.
You're describing a mild trip. More can take you into other worlds where your brain can make you believe you're in tune with the universe, or black out and scare yourself because you can't remember how or why you got where you are, and everything in between. But definitely more intense than you describe.
And how about performance impact? The mitigation's that have been done in software recently came with an ugly performance cost (just not as ugly as the vulnerability). Is there any speculation about what this is going to cost?
