That's strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it's fine 🤔

Aye, I've seen this misconception before and suspect it's specific countries in the European continent where you have to register.

I don't know if you're in the UK right now but I can tell you right now that I can go round the corner and buy a SIM card in cash plus a top-up voucher, from someone like this guy

No you don't.

I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.

Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈

edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn't associated with an IMEI I've previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.

:facepalm:

Completely missed the non-capitalisation on the HTC one. Oops

I had both HTC One's and while the camera on both of them especially the m7 was dire purple durple shite, the battery life was never an issue for me and was when I first started seeing 6hr+ SOT constantly.

Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now.

Which, "government", are you referring to here if you could expand please?

Or are you saying all governments are averse to Telegram?

Yes, we can change, but it's still installed and running services in the background if I recall.

You can disable or remove Chrome depending on your device

I run a simple combo of Firefox and Kiwi Browser so I get a taste of both browser engines and don't really have any issues since I get extensions too in both.

The thing we do need to be observant about is Google Play Services and its tentacles of that sticky little system-priv framework and what it can do. AFAIK, it can still use Chrome even if disabled/removed during a Factory Reset and why there are FRP exploits using Chrome + webviews.

Hai!

Just rewatching The Terminator to check my Tailnet and a family members Jellyfin

Can confirm it's working, good 🥳

Thanks for doing this as peeps need a place to chat even if I'm been ~~nostalgic~~ lazy.

Sticker repository? lol, Telegram has that market cornered and you know it :)

https://matrix.org/ is probably the only reasonable solution to your problem but reading between the lines you're inferring that Telegram is dead in the water.

I'm a popcorn fanantic and await to see the, corns?

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep yep I bought a family member a couple of those fancy GLi routers that come with AdGuard built in.

It's scary what a household's tracked without it would look like, and they are none the wiser to the shit getting sinkholed to this day thankfully.

I'm down to 10% bollocks via NextDNS

and aim to bring it down further by dumping any apps/services that want to bum fugg me.

I felt like a right noobie when one of my colleagues said he'd got a Pixel tablet via the Play Store and asked him how he'd won it.

Apparently I don't install and play shittons of games like them.

£500 was tempting to look into it further but as you say, that news pissed me off because I now know my mum is gonna install some bullshit that one of those guys might have picked up on.
