I mostly use it to make international calls cause sometimes the country my folks are living in shuts down the cellular internet for some reason when major exams/riots are happening and whatsapp stops working.
Imaging telling a whole nation of people they can't use internet on their 500+ dollar phone. The fuck did they buy them for, playing temple run?
Riots I get, but...exams? You're telling me that they'll shutdown the entire countries cellular internet...to stop some students from... cheating?
Yup, they shut it off for a couple of hours during exams so students won't cheat.
Or at least, won't cheat using the internet.
Btw you can suggest them the Briar messenger app. It can send messages via nearby peoples phones if they also have Briar. So if enough people installed it, a city could have it's own messaging network even when the official one is down
Nice, I don't think I'll be able to convince the whole city to install it though :-)
Maybe you could suggest it to people who organize protest
Those "briar clients" still use the "same" internet...
It could work if clients/nodes would exchange data using other channel (lora/bluetooth/etc)

That's exactly what it does
You realise that this is because Microsoft spent billions of dollars on what amounts to a new version of "Clippy" and it's just as helpful as the original.
If you're unfamiliar with the abomination, it's a dumber version of Copilot.
Wait, clippy was supposed to be helpful?
