    What is weird to me is that it’s relatively easy to talk to people in a country that your country is hostile to or even at war with. I mean, people generally don’t, but they could.

    They should have a random function … you set up a time during the day where you will accept random video calls from anyone in the world.

    Like everything neat that’s ever been made on the internet … it would be fun for about a month before some fucked up shit would start happening (probably sooner)

      Not what you’re talking about, but reminded me of this: https://diewithme.online/

      It’s an app that you can only use when your phone is at 5% battery or less, and allows you to chat with other users who also only have 5% battery left.

      Could probably use this to build what you’re talking about.

        Sounds like a conspiracy by big lithium to sell more batteries. :P

        But in all seriousness, consistently deep cycling a Li-ion battery is bad for longevity.

        If you plan on keeping your phone for more than two years, try to keep your charge between ~30 and 80% whenever conveniently possible. Or simply enable the “battery protection” feature on your device (if it has such a setting, most newer Android devices should have it). I almost never let my battery go below 30%.

        I’d also recommend installing AccuBattery so that you can monitor changes to your battery’s capacity over time and see real-world results for your charging habits.

    To be fair if anybody called me I wouldn’t answer

    ICQ back in the day, had a random chat feature, two people could say they want to do a random chat, and you could talk to another person on the ice cube platform. I made a few friends that way
