WhatsApp is ubiquitous in Ireland, if only it was as easy to get away from it. Everything from clubs, schools, kids sport is done via group chats on WhatsApp. Absolutely hate Meta as a company, WhatsApp is the only app I use of theirs and only because they bought it from under us. If we could get proper interoperability, we could use a non WhatsApp app, but it’s not looking good so far.
So it looks like the problems are on the WhatsApp side. The EU should force them to get the finger out and come up with a proper solution.
Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it’s called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it
As soon as they’re forced to allow interoperability with other apps, I’ll be deleting WhatsApp. Had a Facebook from the beginning but deleted it when the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened. Have never had an Instagram. Fuck Meta and its horrible owner.
Thank fuck I deleted my Facebook when I did (around the time of the Cambrige Analytica scandal). Never had an Instagram.
For anyone reading, delete them all. Load of shite, you won’t miss them.
This type of stuff will get a whole lot worse before it gets better.
Problematic for who, the tech companies? They’re practically printing money. Let them spend it on actual solutions to issues that are causing problems for the World.
Google and other companies are being covered by it, as they are headquartered in Ireland for their EU activity. So what’s dumb about that? And what are you on about sensoring? Did you even read the article?
I’ve read your sentence multiple times and I’ve no idea what it means.
Address is Ireland. No location set in the location section (under name in profile section), but my address is clearly set.
Ireland here, so EU, and both were turned on.
Excel web app can’t do pivot tables and a number of other things that the desktop version can do. Been a while since I looked though.
The web app is nowhere near as powerful as the desktop app. I need the desktop app for about 25% of my work.
I’ve never tried. Does it handle random applications or would they need to be on a list?
As a small business, I need MS office & 2 other pieces of software that have no Linux versions. Rightly pissed off that I’ll have to upgrade my main machines to Win 11 by Oct 25.
She was excellent in the first season of White Lotus on Sky too. Great show.
That was an excellent watch, thanks for sharing.
YouTube is horrendous for ads though.
Why, will you soon not be able to?
I actively boycott Zuckerberg’s offerings bar WhatsApp coz the bastard bought it out from under us. Fuck him, fuck Meta
