LOL, now #Google is shutting down Allo. Is there any other company that has tossed even half the number of chat apps against the wall as Google?

🚨 PSA: Flickr users with free accounts and > 1,000 photos 🚨

Come February 2019, Flickr will begin deleting your photos to bring the account down to the upcoming 1,000 photo limit, starting with oldest first.

Either upgrade to Flickr Pro for unlimited storage or download an archive.

User: "I love apps!"

Dev: "Great, here's an app for $5!"

User: "Well I don't love apps *that* much..."

Dev: "Okay, here's an app for free with ads instead!"

User: "Ads are disgusting and immoral."

Dev: "Oh, uh, here's an app for free with in-app purchases and no ads!"

User: "In-App purchases are a cancer that's destroying the industry!"

Dev: "Well I'm out of ideas. No More app."

User: "Damn greedy devs stopped updating the app I paid for 5 years ago!"

That SSH vulnerability is seriously messed up. It's basically this:

Bad guy: *knock knock*
SSH: "Who's there?"
Bad guy: "It's me, a good guy!"
SSH: *unlocks door* "Well come on in you silly goof!"

How does this even happen?! It's so ridiculous that it feels like it was probably intentionally planted in the project by someone nefarious.

It's Bi Visibility Day!

Spoil your friends who are attracted to more than one gender
Challenge biphobia wherever you find it
Be careful how you're using words like "straight" and "gay"; I promise you my marriage isn't straight even if it involves two people of different genders
Show love and support to those of us for whom visibility isn't always possible, safe, or unconditional

Have a good day, whether you're bi or not

So I upgraded my iPhone 5s (that came with iOS 7) to iOS 12 last night. It’s somewhat amazing to me that it works at all, but it’s even more amazing that it works better now!🎉
Not a single keystroke was missed while typing this, and it doesn’t randomly hang anymore. It actually feels snappy again like it was when it was new🤗

Hell Yeah
