soso is the same sound as a word that means breasts in my mother tongue.

Could be worth it under the best of circumstances.

My mother-in-law. She rewrites history in her head and imagine stories where she’s the hero that didn’t actually happen.

It’s a coping mechanism to prevent her having to face and work on her own problems.

I miss when we had actual leaders, and that includes a willingness to admit that you don’t know everything and defer to experts.

Man, I’ve known people like this. The worst is a combination of willfully bad memory and a lack of respect for what I was trying to say.

I’m really surprised to read this. I make extensive use of this allocator on my machines, But I thought it was because there were limitations to zsmalloc. These limitations no longer appear to be the case.

Google Messages takes a step towards secure messaging across apps and platforms (APK teardown) (www.androidauthority.com)
 

Bullet points taken from article:

  • The latest Google Messages beta supports MLS encryption, RCS’s next step toward E2EE interoperability across apps and platforms.
  • We managed to enable MLS for one-on-one RCS conversations in Google Messages, but we haven’t been able to enable it for RCS group chats yet.
  • This indicates that MLS encryption support could be on the horizon for Google Messages.

Note that Google Messages already does end to end encryption, but there are many cases where this feature doesn't work (such as when communicating with an iPhone).

EU regulation has led to Apple being forced to open up iOS in ways that many never expected, but it’s not done just yet.

She doesn’t enjoy getting her nails done, but she likes the result. It seems a shame to put up with two hours of something you don’t like but we paid for, but we went again. That’s where I am now.

Maybe when she’s done we’ll pick up some Indian food but maybe not because we haven’t discussed dinner yet.
