  1. Honestly I don't know how everyone does it. Writing on my phone is so tiring. I have about forty five minutes blocked out a day to try to catch up on my text messages and it's sometimes not enough. And it's tiring. Part of it is because I have trouble manipulating my phone. The precision needed to type is hard for me. But like also... It's a lot of time! How do people have this time?? What's your secret??

  6. ZDNet: Microsoft won’t send you SMS texts for login anymore – why it’s pushing passkeys instead.”On a new support page, Microsoft announced that it will start phasing out SMS as an authentication and account recovery method for personal Microsoft accounts. Instead, the company is pushing passkeys, which offer much stronger security.”

  11. The Absolute Rage Induced by “K.”

    Daily writing promptWhat’s a word or phrase that annoys you?View all responses There are many phrases in this world that annoy me. Corporate buzzwords. Fake positivity. Passive aggressive nonsense. People saying “we should totally hang out sometime” when both of you know that is never happening. But there is one response, one microscopic combination of letters, one digital communication war crime that rises above the rest. One phrase so unbelievably lazy, dismissive, cold, and […]

  12. You know, I just realized something: some people sound •flat•. When I read their texts or DMs, they just feel •lifeless• to me.

    Others sound unique (in my head when I read what they've written), but there are some people whose voice just doesn't come through to me.

    When I was a kid, my father told me to write the way I think; if I did that (he said), I'd never find myself short for words. I took his advice to heart, as I usually did, and it has served me really well for more than half a century.

    When friends read my writing, they always comment that they hear it •in my voice•. Now, they know me, so that's not really proving anything. But I've noticed that when I read what YOU write (in a general sense; I mean everyone on here) I mostly hear you as some sort of voice in my head. It's just that some of you—a definite minority—have no •character• somehow. It's like the voice goes away and it's just words on a screen.

    I've noticed that's often the case with scammers and trolls. There's a curious sort of lifelessness to them. You know, I suspect that the same is probably true of AI! Although I haven't tested that theory yet.

    Sorry, I guess I'm rambling. But has anyone else had that sort of experience online?

    Or is it just me?

  23. I'm getting sick of scam texts from unknown numbers, typically far away from me:

    “Hi it's <NAME> from <PLACE>, do you remember me?”
    "It was great to see you yesterday!”
    "I've been trying to reach you for a while”

    However, the scary thought is that this must be working some of the time. Otherwise they would move to another kind of crime.

  30. I'm having interesting problems texting someone in Canada. A LOT of texts in both directions just...don't get through. And then some do. I've done a little research, but so far there's no explanation. It's definitely happening, though! Has anyone else had this problem?

    I never write like this, not even in a chat, in a hurry.

    I think this is an insult to the English Language.
