: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?

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.

I think one thing that's missing from the equation is testing and licensing to ride/drive them.

I know it's an English forum here but you need to have a set of cojones to "drive" an escoot/EUC on our roads and I only use it to travel the short distance to work.

I've gone down arterial roads suited up with live Bradford traffic, and it's not for the faint of heart lemmi tell ya :/

Why even bother pretending anymore or putting on this charade. It’s the same thing over and over again.

If one puts an indeterminate amount of red tape around an object / thing / thought, does one become entangled in said red tape?

It's something that's irking me.

I've been a bicyclist, car driver, drive for a living and also have a VSett that goes a steady 35mph max which means I can lane check but, because I can't fugging insure the thing means I'm always looking over my shoulder if I need to dump some ~~keen~~ eager copper.

I'm starting to think of selling it so I can get a ~~eBike~~ Surron instead and blend in with the local wildlife around here.

We use a fair few shared mobile phones at work and while it has WiFi / unlimited mobile data is used solely as an absence line number because some of my fellow colleagues don't have home internet, actively disable their mobile data (because they use a SMS / Call package only), and really can't get their head around "the nets"/Whatsapp and don't, want to, either.

Which I agree with to an extent since Whatsapp can suck my plums too. They exist and quite a few of them apparently.

There is a bonus to this thou since I get to call them names because of their neanderthal ways...
