If you’re travelling to another country, you also get a different culture, architecture, cuisine,… even if it’s “close by”. That’s the real criticism here that people don’t get, if you’re only travelling within the US, everything’s pretty much the same, and you’ll never expand your horizon much

I’d rip them to tape and use my real walkman because anti-shock sucks

regarding your first question - they usually go after the big fish first. dbzer0 might still be flying under the radar, and also might be ina different jurisdiction where the specific plaintiff can’t go after them, or where it’s harder for them to do so

they are not even “in the middle” but rather “at the very end”, since they’re just getting the data directly from the service provider instead

i’m glad it worked so well for you, i gave up after 3 days of frustration

how? my macbook pro is seven years old, and the latest macOS i could get is two major versions behind. I’ve tried installing linux and apparently it is a generation that is particularly troubled, with an endless list of broken things curated on github. eventually bad Bluetooth- and no internal audio-support was a showstopper to keep using it

while i see where you’re coming from, being able to message WhatsApp users from a client app that respects privacy would be better than being forced to have WhatsApp installed on your device, with it snooping casually on your everyday device usage and your contact list and so on.

WhatsApp is the only Facebook app on my phone and i’d love to get rid of it without losing the ability to message all those buffons using it (which make up for 99% of my social circle)

moving from signal to discord is not going to be exactly helpful for your privacy, discord is completely unencrypted

so a Search DAO? :)

even that will be out of date. when the oem stops updating a device, there’s only so much custom roms can do

apple never released any tech that wasn’t already “mature” - mp3 players existed before the iPod, mobile phones before the iPhone,…

“the tone makes the music” as the Germans would say. you’re asking for volunteer help and are rude to the ones replying

you can’t ask for feedback, then attack everyone who doesn’t share your opinion with “did you read it?”, that’s not cool…

the simpsons did it

another strong “yes” from me. my wired headset has much better speech quality than bluetooth ones. i didn’t upgrade my phone since the new Pixels dropped the headphone jack, instead i fixed the screen and battery and keep it another couple of years

you don’t say!

just install another launcher?
