In the first place? We kinda did to begin with, you would phone the operator and say the name of who you wanted to phone.

Introducing phone numbers simplified this, given the operator would have to know or lookup their name, and allowed for the future introduction of automated systems. Such systems were analogue and DNS was far more advanced than them. I guess the telephone becomes so widely used and integrated under that system that it still uses a similar interface today, albeit with a cluster of different modernised interconnected backends

Do Americans really have a right to bear arms? It's technically legal, but if police can murder you and get away with it when they catch you with a gun, that sounds like the consequences are a possible defacto death sentence.

They only sometimes murder you for it. But there's plenty laws where I'm from that are only sometimes enforced when the police catch you, and not by death.

So the original tweet logically suggests that human men and woman are different species and that human babies are produce, a sellable raw material, perhaps edible.

Ah, but what if he simply gets rid of democratic elections, then he needn't worry about the issue of being elected more than twice

Really not looking forward to the idea of github.io links all becoming dead. So many repos with documentation at a github.io URL, with those links spread all across plaintext files and Stack Overflow and forums

If it's an issue, then the organisers shouldn't let kids in, otherwise it's at the parent's discretion, not yours

I was under the impression it wasn't even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though

On Lemmy you can't exchange email addresses though... else you'd be exposing the addresses publicly and that's also rife for spam

Quiet quitting is actually listed as a subheading on the work-to-rule Wikipedia page I linked, so I guess it's the non-malicious variation of your standard work to rule protest. If you look at the See Also section, there's some interesting related things. I think the Chinese Tang Ping suits exactly what you're saying too

Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services... the phone does not lock
