Interestingly this phone number complaint only shows up among techies and especially Americans. You guys don't get to keep your phone number? I've had the same number now for 20 years here in Europe, it may as well be synonymous with my identity.

In fact, I'd say the phone number requirement, or at least option, actually promotes adoption in parts of the world. I wouldn't have been able to get my mother to use Signal if it didn't work with a phone number, for instance. She's not gonna make an account just for a chat app. Phone number she already has.

None. The statement is false. The law didn't change. What did change was the enforcement thereof.

What's absolutely scummy is that "laws are changing in your region" is not what happened. The law hasn't significantly changed. What has changes is that the regulator is finally enforcing the law.

Gun-related violence is going up because all violent crime is going up. Most Dutchies still underestimate how much of an influence organized crime has become, almost all of it narcotics related.

That said, due to strict gun laws most violent crime happens with knifes, and worryingly increasingly with explosives.

No, it's that the actual ibuprofen has that horrible tangy taste.

I don't agree with the one you're replying to, but trademark is usually bound to a sector. I'm pretty sure Pepsi trademarked all sectors known to mankind, but many companies don't do that. If I start a bakery called FooBarBaz I can trademark that just fine even if there's a software company called FooBarBaz that trademarked the name only for software.

This surely can't be legal? Right? Right?
