Conversations 2.15 reorganizes the settings into different categories. This gets rid of the old 'Expert Settings' which hid a lot of useful settings.

One nice setting that was previously hidden away in the expert settings is 'Direct Search'. This gives you direct access to the search field in the 'New Chat' screen. If you want to start a new chat with someone you only have to type enough characters to make the search result unique and then press enter.

Oh the idiocy!

Excerpt from a #Mashable article linked below:

Let's say someone owns the domain name "NetfliTwitter.com." Why would they own that domain name? Because if X is automatically changing anything that includes "Twitter.com" to "X.com," then that means posting "NetfliTwitter.com" on X would make it appear in posts as "Netflix.com," the popular movie streaming service. And if a user clicked the linked "Netflix.com" text that appears in that post, it would really take them to "NetfliTwitter.com." Because while X is changing the text that the user wrote, the URL it links and directs to remains the same as the user posted.

Big update there on the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of solar PV. It was just 5 tons before 👀

Most numbers got updated, but solar is a big shift. No apparent explaination given, but I assume the feed data got updated.

X rolled out a change that automatically converts all links that have the string “twitter” *anywhere* in them to “X.”

For example, if someone tweets the link `setwitter.com`, the X client application will change that link to `sex.com`.

This is not a joke.

Okay so I received an "encrypted" email with a contract from someone using Outlook or something. Now the "encryption" is literally just. the email has a link to a website where I have to request a verification code that is sent to my email.

The fucking AUDACITY to call this encryption. holy shit i hate microsoft

Not exactly scientific but fascinating: Yuja Wang did a marathon 2.5hr performance of Rachmaninov 1 2 3 4 and the Paganini Ode, and she, the conductor, orchestra members and audience members wore heart rate monitors throughout.

@acarson Agreed. I also think that Roku needs to provide a better TTS engine. The last time I heard one of their players it was using this horrible TTS engine. Considering that they're the one of the top streaming devices they have the resources to do much better than providing us with that horrible voice. If it's improved on their newer players I hope someone lets me know.
