It’s of course because these creatures came from crypto currencies. They just took a while to mature to a point where people started witnessing them

Staying positive! In more than one way

After actually reading the article I see they’re well-defined. Thanks for pointing me there ^^

Thanks for the explanation :D I remember some of the things I found out before and now it finally makes more sense. I saw some of the names you mentioned but it never clicked for me that it’s (in-universe) multiple people’s writings that make up the book. It definitely sounds interesting, and I’m fearing and looking forward to how cringe-worthy the characters can get.

Are the user levels an actual defined thing and are there more?

Are you able to give a short summary what it’s about? I’ve had a few people saying it’s fantastic and very special to them but I didn’t really get much of an answer why. And trying to find anything on the internet hasn’t been successful to the point where I get what’s so appealing about it.

I could of course just try reading it for myself but it’s currently in a backlog along with quite a few other books :P

“I AM A STURGEON”

I think the “largely” only refers to the homogeneous part. I hope it does

Well aren’t you a kind soul

I’ve read something along the lines of it being because silver is a “noble metal” (or something like that) and vampires are unholy/foul creatures, somehow making them not be reflected by silver mirrors

Why not?

What’s 151 for?

Getting an empty list in such a short time, an amazing technique!

In the article it says that that’s a one-time verification address. Though that leaves the question if/how long it’s stored

Telling someone that their thought process is flawed/immature is not the same as being triggered. The amount of text contained in your answer is usually associated with “being triggered” though (at least in my experience)

Then again, depending on what exactly one means with “triggered”, you could say that you’ve “been triggered” (like activating some mechanism or something) to write a long response :D

(Not trying to join any side of the original discussion, just sharing what’s on my mind ^^)

I think open signups allow people to create an account without verification like email. I’m not sure about captchas, those might also count as a kind of verification.

A byte in this context always means 8 bit though, it has nothing to do with powers of 10 or 2. The prefix of K (kilo), M (mega), G (giga) or Ki (kibi), Mi (mebi), Gi (gibi) doesn’t change the meaning of “byte”.

endangering the welfare of a child

Seems like it should be more than just endangering…

I recon aurora store should still work since it’s providing the playstore stuff, just a bit more privacy friendly afaik.

that EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them

What is this even supposed to mean? All other browsers are pre-installed alongside safari? It’s hard for users to choose a browser because they’re able to use others as well?
