In my experience, these mistakes are made primarily by native speakers. Because they learned it by hearing and can't tell the difference. Those who learned English as a second language learn through books and are explicitly taught the difference.
On Reddit I always assumed that so many people can't be that ~~stupid~~ uneducated and make these obvious mistakes for engagement bait.
But now that we are on Lemmy, and engagement gets you nowhere, I'm losing faith in humanity at a faster pace.
🙏 Bless!
Apparently. But the discussion was about how he achieves his buoyancy. But if you'd like to downvote my responses, feel free to pick any comment from my recent history.
You'd think this would only happen on political subjects. But nope, got downvoted today for commenting on Godzilla buoyancy.
I'm surprised I haven't seen the "Adstronaut in Ad Space" joke anywhere else.
I don't follow. No I don't think that most people think that Apple and Samsung are spying on them. But a lot of people are concerned about NSA and the likes having access through the cellular service. Which is what the encryption is for.
If it's the encrypted transfer protocols that you're talking about, then it's just for the transfer of data. It was never meant to make things secure on the endpoints. Encrypting your whatsapps, signals and so on just ensures the ISPs and mobile operators can't read your messages. Also prevents an occasional MITM attack. Once the data reaches your device it's not encrypted anymore, as you can read it and copy it.
Not really, it can make sense. By "reading" your messages/notifications they could just perform semantic search/categorization, or now, run a local LLM. It doesn't necessarily mean they send that data to servers or make people actually read it.
Encryption just means the data stored on your device is not saved in plaintext. So if somebody gets their hands on your phone, they won't be able to hot-wire the memory chip and directly read all the data.
If I wasn't dead, I would hate being a person in Middle English era either way.
But thanks for the interesting article.
