n3dm | 4 months ago | on: Molly: An Improved Signal App

I've used Molly for over a year. Overnight it lost the device registration and will not contact the servers to re-register. The backup feature also does not work which left me dead in the water for several days with no fix. I switched back to signal and had to start a new database. It was a disaster. YMMV

>School shootings have been planned and broadcast on the decentralized chat platform Discord.

Discord? Decentralized?

The author is on something else.

I have. This was before I realized it was in their cardmember agreement. The woman grabbed my cart and held onto it, preventing me from leaving with my belongings until I conjured a receipt.

Funny because I'm using Spotify paid and I'm getting closer and closer to cancelling that with all the bugs and advertising. Using a web player the music just mites itself for 10 seconds at a time, skips tracks on its own. Pauses. The mobile app hits you with full screen ads and big banner ads at the top that you can't disable. It's the most annoying service I use for streaming.

>To get offended is to have a strong aversion to something.

No it is not. The actual definition:

>cause to feel upset, annoyed or resentful

Low quality article.

Really... I just had the worst experience just trying to limit my sharing since my employer signed me up to a retirement account with them. No automatic prompt, had to be forwarded around and finally to a human that had to verify several things and information for me just to limit my sharing. The first call I got stuck with the phone robot and it wouldn't accept any input. The second call was 18 minutes to just get that done.

This is ridiculous, I have met several people living full time in them and not any of them do this and spend time in hotels. If anything at all they have a home base and will do domestic things at home between trips, but they all use laundromats and public showers, etc in between.

n3dm | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Custom domain email for professionals?

Seconding this. They have been top tier for it's primary use, hosting a professional email on my domain. Secondarily hosting the website itself is good too. Just doesn't have PHP/mysql or whatnot. Which is fine for a static page.

Not sure if this is a troll post. Your lead acid comment is sImPlY iNcOrReCt, and you clearly don't know the owner of the website as he is a dude who runs his YouTube channel in a very transparent way.
