Right, but with Signal being an open source project, it seems that anyone could (pending license-ability) build an app to interact with the main Signal network. It's my understanding there's a few apps on F-Droid that let you do that already.

Thus, Facebook should be able to (at least in theory) build compatibility for the Signal network into their existing messengers.

Is there any part of that I'm missing?

Sounds like ~~facebook~~ Meta isn't seriously considering interoperation with the existing Signal network, which is a weight off my chest.

Doing this when I get home, just to prove a point.

Which system do you recommend over GitHub?

My buddies all use GitHub and so when I started coding, that's naturally where I went, but as my horizons expand, I'm beginning to realize moving somewhere else is probably the play.

Maybe they should have just gone all in and named it Titan after that one famous boat.

Can't remember what that boat was so famous for tho /s

Or pro numbers, depending on how you look at it.

Derp, thanks for pointing out the legend. Totally missed it as I gave the thing a once over.

But also, obviously this means heroin's name must come from "a hero in every pill"

Wait, are these the dates when the brand that eventually was deemed a "common word" were first trade marked? I was reading this as the years they were deemed common words.

Cause 2011 is WAYYYY too early for zoom to be common. If anything, that would've been Skype on 2011. Similar thing for Tupperware and zipper.

Also, wtf was heroin's common name before being branded heroin? Lol, also, I can't help but imagine heroin got its name as some kind of "there's a hero in every needle" marketing campaign.

....and so just to be clear, by pig, you mean a cop, yeah?

Yo, yeah, what's up with the acorns?

I guess it's being associated with the sounds of a gun shot?

This is probably more a question for a lawyer than a rando on the internet, but how legal would this be: let's say you have a rifle that was designed as a semi-automatic, but can be easily modified to become automatic and that was manufactured before 1986. Would it be possible to legally modify it in [current year] to be an automatic?

We're getting pretty deep in this comment chain, and I appreciate you letting me pick your brain over this. Usually people abandon threads way before this mark and just wanna give a shout-out for your time.

Just so I'm clear on what you're saying: per U.S. law, it would be illegal for me (a civilian) to own a machine gun manufactured after 1986? And that's regardless of passing background checks and/or paying for the tax stamp?
