I don't get why Meta’s Ads Manager platform would bring down WhatsApp, which doesn't have ads?

(This is pure dark speculation)

WhatsApp might forward all message metadata to ads manager so that the user's ads profile can be further improved. If the ads manager platform then goes down, the pipes for this data flow will fill up, and if it is not built to be able to handle a backlog WhatsApp may go down, too.

You are still in luck! https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=qwjEeI2SmiU

It is probably the first time I thank someone for showing me a duck’s penis. Feels a bit weird.

Feels weird? May I ask what peripherals you have on your computer?

What? npm doesn't provide site hosting of any kind. Apart from just using the ~ convention this is not relevant at all.

For the UNIX world you'd have Midnight Commander

If you really mean conversations of the original owner, I can't believe that's true after e2e has been enabled.

But it could be that messages sent to the original owner are received, since WhatsApp automatically re-encrypts and sends messages if the message has not been received yet and the key has been changed. So basically that would mean the message would be sent when the previous owner already changed their number. So the people shouldn't have sent the messages at all.

WhatsApp e2e encryption just makes sure that the only person that can read the message is the owner of the number, not necessarily the person you want to send it to.

WhatsApp also does backup.

In drive&icloud(?) AFAIK, so that would be linked to the owner of the phone at that time.

I wanted to chat using WhatsApp comfortably using my Weechat setup.

That specific classname didn't change since the beginning of the project, I had a breaking change on WhatsApp's side one time (was several months ago already).

I'm aware of https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp which I'm personally interested in, which uses a reverse engineered implementation of the WhatsApp web protocol.

I think "kak" still would be translated better as "shit", you wouldn't curse with "POO!". But in Dutch you can curse with "KAK!", just as 'SH*T!' in English.
