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? 🤣

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. I’d want to pretend I’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.
