One Time Offer

Haha. America. So funny. Am I right.

I learnt so much about that horrible place fr the Breaking Bad documentary. Seeing a teacher have to sell meth jut to pay for cancer treatment. So sad.

I'll give you one more prayer to help y'all. Thst will save little Timmy and his rotten teeth.

Anon goes to therapy

Reply in thread

Uncle in therapy for second nervous breakdown. Therapist tells aunt that hell be a dead weight aroind her neck. Tells him to go fishing - he hates fishing. This was a recommended therapist from a good GP.

Another family member with past addiction and suicide attempts went to a different GP seeking therapy. Was told by the GP humans have been to the moon and can do anything so stop being so depressed. Wtf does that even mean.

Shitty people are in every profession.

‘Your phone is about to stop being yours': anger brewing among Android fans as major Google app change draws near

Reply in thread

Hijacking as I've done on other posts. In my country all 3 major tellcos needed to verify phones can call emergency on VoLTE.

FP5 does this. For whatever reason the telcos cant "conform" that (its not sold here but important and DOES work) so the device is blocked at a network level.

Not blocked just for calls but even data.

Phone is now a brick. Double brick once the Android changes roll through.

I dont think this is mentioned enough. These days it seems a given that you'll install XYZ app on your personal phone, or use your personal PC for something.

No. If you require me to install something then I require a device to install it on.

I also think people dont realise that often throguh active exchange IT can fully wipe your device. And Ive seen too many shitty IT operators who would accidentally do this.

Which monthly subscription service do you highly recommend and why?

Premiumize. I dont fully understand. But they have server farms thst will download your torrent, and then you download the file from them. Its faster and your IP doesn't see it as a torrent. You also dont have to leave ypir PC on if there's only one seeder. If somone else has downloaded thst torrent before its already in the farm and you visit download it from them.

However the main thing is they integrate into Kodi and my new fave Stremio. So you can just stream anything anytime without all the torrent stuff I just mentioned.

Countercomputing is a descendant of retrocomputing with a focus on radical privacy

Not shitting on the idea but I bought a FairPhone5 that includes to what this suggests. Each main component (so not chipset) can be unscrewed and replaced easily, chsrgrt port, camera, speaker, removable battery.

As of next month every major telco that owns infrastructure in the contrary will have blocked the IMEI (the first part identifies the phone and model) and will be unusable. Even unusable with a data only sim.

It will only work on WiFi.

Guess im just venting but id love to see how this concept could help in the situation.
