Maintaining a level of anonymity.
  • Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.

    It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.

  • Maintaining a level of anonymity.
  • Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.

    This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.

  • Coca-Cola Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar
  • Thing is though there's around 12-24 bottles per case depending on the size of the bottles.

    Our fastest filler here at work does 36,000 bottles an hour, so you definitely won't be getting 13,000 cases in 30 seconds I can assure ya ;)

  • 5th Circuit rules ISP should have terminated Internet users accused of piracy
  • I've had a couple of vapid emails from VirginMedia for one (Animal Kingdom) of many TV shows I've downloaded over the years.

    Shame they didn't send it by snail mail, could've got some free toilet paper out of them then.

  • Some groups have allegedly used the β€œ901” tag in their usernames to identify themselves, raising alarms among officials and parents alike

    What does this mean? I can't seem to find info on what a 901 tag even is.

  • Mobile network not available
  • If you can get someone else's SIM card to see if it's a carrier issue, and I know factory resetting sucks but it is the easiest way to discount a hardware issue :/

    Good luck!

  • Google Drive started killing third-party apps: End of the Road for Google Drive in Transmit
  • Aye, I've given my old NAS enclosure to a family member and they've never been so happy having the arrrr stack running on it and I think it's like magic to them still.

    However one step at a time and I'll get them off Google Photos (I've plonked Immich and Jellyfin on their bedroom n100 box) and Drive if it kills me. Screw this bullshit of paying to store our data only for them to double down and invade their privacy.

  • Xiaomi will reportedly end its global bootloader unlock program
  • We do, twice a year and it annoys me no end since I work some shitty continental hours and sometimes have to watch the clock go backwards through the night.

  • Mobile network not available
  • Have you tried a factory reset?

  • China-linked security breach targeted U.S. wiretap systems, WSJ reports
  • It’s possible the hackers had access for months or longer to networks the U.S China country uses to make lawful requests for communications data, the newspaper wrote.

    I'd be curious how that works on the opposite end of surveillance states.

    I'm pretty sure GCHQ here likes my noods

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

  • Signal Piracy group
  • 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

  • Signal Piracy group
  • 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? πŸ™ˆ

    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.

  • From Samsung to HTC: The worst Android phones ever made
  • :facepalm:

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

  • From Samsung to HTC: The worst Android phones ever made
  • 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.

  • TIL there's a direct number to your bank via a short code and reporting fraud

    Was aware of the 7726 short code for spammers

    but never heard of 159 before.

  • 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?

  • Removed
    Firefox Just a Puppet for Google
  • 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.

    I seem to be suffering from the above bug

    https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

    but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN home to my exit node at a family members house?

    Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?

    Apple TV and iOS YouTube ads are not blocked by Pi-hole, so I researched this and discovered a flaw in Protobuf that allows me to restrict YouTube ads.

    not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

    Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.
