article headline: Japan Earthquake Alert App Says Sayonara to X

cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/333398

Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

Is the app seriously called NERV? ๐Ÿคฃ

I always thought the only way to deal with earthquakes was to use gigantic mecha that only have 5 mins of unplugged charge!

I thought it was all a prank because of all the NGE terminology (Gehirn too). It says in the article the founder is a fan, which makes sense. Iโ€™d want to pretend Iโ€™m sending off ~~angles~~angels too if I were running an anti earthquake product.

Aaargh, you're totally right. It goes to show I should have read TFA! Sorry and thanks for the remark!

Probably a good organization for detecting impacts too.
