Interesting piece, didn't know about iOS stealth apps, and the ages of the accused certainly makes the news stand out —

— but can we talk about that hilariously bad "AI" generated picture they chose to illustrate it? That disembodied hand left of centre holding up the "iPhone"?

WHO WAS PHONE? 😄

I do love markdown files myself, so a browser-side parser is very interesting. Definitely skips some Jekyll/Hugo exports 🙂

Limiting that feature to IPFS is sort of one sided for my taste, though.

I mean, I get the joke of using that expression in the context of a chat named after The matrix, but it's an in-group jargon that mostly the terminally online will get.

LOL, you completely lost me at "rozzers"!

The Register failed in their due diligence by not clarifying from the beginning that this is a different Matrix chat than the open standard. They amended the mistake with an update to the post (quoted here in OP), but that is placed at the end of an article that not everybody is going to read all the way through.

IMHO this needs a rewrite to make clear from the outset that the Matrix protocol and matrix.org are not affiliated with the criminal chat service. As it stands, even with the correction, it looks like character assassination of a perfectly legal open source project.

No worries, The Register hid the clarification about the two different networks way down at the end, so it's an easy mistake. I honestly think they need to put that note at the beginning to avoid confusion.

Read the linked article; this was a different network using the same name.

There may also be academics or professionals named David Mayer in various fields, such as psychology, medicine, or technology. For example, there could be a David Mayer who has contributed to a field like cognitive science, education, or software engineering.

There may be. There could be. Who knows? 😆
