  • Yep, the hardest part of Signal is convincing everyone you text to use it. Though, once you do, it’s awesome!

    SMS as a protocol is pretty bunk. I’m not sure any app can save it. That’s why I just stick to the default SMS app. Well, that, and because that app is made by Anrdoid and your carrier, who can already track everything anyway, so there’s no (extra) privacy hit.






  • The Fed has massively increased interest rates in the past year or so to fend off a recession. That’s in part what led to the recent bank failures, because the banks made stupid investments hinging on low interest rates. As a whole, it’s been working wonders for the economy. Things have been stabilizing and fears of a recession have lowered.

    In short, yes, 4.15% is on the good side, but it’s also pretty common in the US right now. Some savings accounts have 5%+ last time I checked, though those are harder to come by and often have stupid rules attached.

    Quotes make it only return results that contain exactly what’s in the quotes. All you need to do is put a string in your website that is unique to all indexed pages. Since there’s no length limit (well, google searches have a max length, but it’s pretty long), I expect that the vast majority of web pages will have some phrase you can use like this.

    In theory, you could just search for the entire contents of a page in quotes and it’ll be the only thing that pops up unless another page is identical or contains an identical copy of the first page within it.
