couldn’t people just stalk without being logged in?

Yes, you can. That's why it was even dumber. It's super weird to me that anyone could be mad about this.

That's how blocking and banning on the internet has always worked. When you block someone they just can't reply to you. The way it was until now is just weird. Why would blocking an account prevent them from viewing your public posts!? "Stalkers" can always just make another account. I am glad they are actually fixing blocking on Twitter. g

Slang is slang. It's always used verbally. I am not sure why someone would expect a llm to generate proper slang. Not sure at all how stating that fact makes one a "bigot".

" “things that just work”.

That certainly not how I will describe the Linux desktop experience.

Banning TikTok never had anything to do with "protecting your data".

I've been using Youtube basically since it exists. There were no ads in the beginning. I've also always been using adblockers. I was surprised when I heard people say they have to wait for ads on youtube. I was like "What? Youtube has ads!?".

Why do people call the internet connection "the wifi" now?
