Edit: had to reset my password via the reset link in the welcome email.

But the Android app is already available. Although I can't log in... Is this because the server is overwhelmed or are Android users indeed blocked? Why would they release the app then?

Idk. I agree that it's a bad practice, but I also don't understand the downvotes. I think in this context it's valid to share your preference whether to update or not. Maybe some people just click dislike because it has lots of dislikes? Who knows :)

I use it for explaining stuff when studying for uni and I do it like this: If I don't understand e.g. a definition, I ask an LLM to explain it, read the original definition again and see if it makes sense.

This is an informal approach, but if the definition is sufficiently complex, false answers are unlikely to lead to an understanding. Not impossible ofc, so always be wary.

For context: I'm studying computer science, so lots of math and theoretical computer science.

But they run locally on the phone, if I'm not completely mistaken. So no use for a server.

Or do they offer this option? I think they explicitly advertise no internet access.

I only know that I was pleasantly surprised how well GNOME ran on a surface device of a friend.

It's funny how my brain makes the cat look huge whenever I focus on the CAT logo.

As it probably has internalized the size of things with this logo

Why downvote him? He made an observation and comments even explained why. I learned something, it added to the discussion.

This seems to be extremely region and country dependent! 😅 Where I live (Germany, large city), tinder is very popular and not among "old, ugly" people for sure.

That's true (y)

I think this is more a case of the triangle inequality in metric spaces, as you don't have to calculate any particular edge to see the shortcut, as well as that it applies to any even non-rectangular triangle.

But what if you don't actually want it, but you are addicted because other people exploit the psychology of humans?

One could argue that it's "their fault", but then everything is ones own fault. Furthermore this wouldn't change the fact IMHO, that we shouldn't prevent people from exploiting or harming other people, yk what I mean?

Anyways, as this doesn't seem to be a loot box or such, I think I agree with you here mostly.
