I doubt he’s as helpful this time.

That’s probably what happened. However the job description as written was kind of silly.

Back when I was still on Reddit I remember someone sharing a job posting calling for 10 years of experience in a 5 year old language. I don’t know if it was real or not but it’s typical of the crazy requirements for those jobs.

For the case of your job or school you either use what is required or you need to find another job or school. That might not be popular but it’s the reality. Other relationships don’t have that kind of pull. Maybe RCS could fix some of it but given what happened with XMPP I’m doubtful.

As the only Android user in a social group of iPhone users I felt this way too much.

The only one that is difficult to replace is Facebook. It’s still the best way to keep up with family and friends from all over. I also like Facebook Marketplace and haven’t found a substitute that is as good.

Tells should be in the business of batteries and drivetrains. Let companies that know how to build cars build cars.

Probably more accurate to say he ripped it away from them than simply bought it.

Is this sucking up or just finally feeling free to show their true self?

It’s not just younger people. A lot of my fellow GenXers only communicate via Facebook messenger.
