It seems, starlings have returned to where I live. Their songs are so nice to hear again.

Well, they are trying to pull out their own cryptocurrency, they integrated a wallet into the app, added an ads marketplace, I think I heard of plans to add apps like in WeChat. Also they added stories, but everyone does that now

Plus, on every occasion of service issues with WhatsApp and other stuff they brag about how many users converted because of that.

I personally dislike WhatsApp for two reasons, one is Meta, and the second is they keep partially losing my message history and contacts every time I migrate to another device

Edit: oh, yeah, and Telegram wants business accounts to be able to use Telegram as a landing, pretty much like many do now with Facebook (this practice I find abominable, but that’s another point)

Don’t know, it feels like he was (maybe still is) quite good at marketing and found a good team back in the days, but now they are just another big company trying to make a western WeChat and becoming a monopoly.

I like the product, but I am a bit wary of the founder and their strategic course

Why not?

Your unrealistic is just not unrealistic enough, what a poser of an impostor are you

They’re real cute though. Also, smart by the spider standards, but not too smart. We once accidentally killed one because it refused to leave the kayak while on the ground, then hid somewhere, and later exhausted itself running around with nowhere to go 🥺 Maybe there was some way to save it, but I seem to also not have been smart enough

I just love how some things cost astronomical amounts of money just because academia or the company is supposed to cover those expenses and nobody sane is not going to buy that for themselves anyway :(
