SIM cards are a computing device that can execute closed source code on your device, sent from a cell tower

Most of the zero days used by NSO Group that were reported by Citizen Lab only worked if you had a SIM card. By eliminating SIM cards, you decrease the surface area of attack by magnitudes

Is charity not a duty to humanity too? I don't understand the distinction.

Great point

You don't have to use it. Just paste it in the text field before or after the image.

Every article that says the word "anarchist" should go out of their way to say that its not illegal to be a capitalist, a communist, or an anarchist. Its a legitimate political ideology thats been around for centuries.

Also nice to download all the Wikipedia data for the area, so you can read about places you visit...again, all without data.

All it takes is you to fix this. Its even easier in a small country

Link to fdroid next time

Umm...it benefits loads of people.

On OSM you don't have to just flag something. You can edit it directly, so it leads to more accurate information.

Don't post pictures of text

Well I've tried, but usually they just don't respond to my emails

Can you name me an EU bank that doesn't demand a phone number to signup?

Unfortunately, PSD2 doesn't support TOTP and other strong 2FA solutions, so they all appear to require phone numbers. This is one area where EU is worse than US

You probably shouldn't be using a service that requires a phone number. More often than not, they use it as a backdoor to bypass your password and it leaves your account super vulnerable.

Is an eSIM vulnerable to the same security risks as a physical SIM?

If you care about security, don't put a Sim card in your phone.

Personally I don't have a VoIP plan. For archaic services that I can't live without and required a phone number, I use google voice or Skype. Its a vulnerability, so avoid if at all possible

I don't think we should be using such terms to address people, generally.

Use your name. Don't prefix it with "President" or "Sir" or whatever. This was done to establish hierarchy, but we as a society need to recognize that no person is superior to another person. By just using a name (and eliminating the title), you recognize equality amongst people.

Sure, you can have a title that indicates what cog in a org you currently occupy, but it shouldn't be used in your name.

A war crime is a war crime. An act of terrorism is intentional. Using SigInt to target is, by definition, going to lead to war crimes.

This was a terrorist act that was used to murder children, and must be condemned with sanctions.

This is why targeting shouldn't be done by SigInt, directed by AI or otherwise.

Who held the pagers at the time they blew up? I used to love to play with my dad's pager as a kid.

Targeting using an electronic device is sigint. These people have families, and the Israeli terrorists murdered children with this attack. Did you read the article?

Stomp* sorry

I mean, you can also dehydrate them. There's loads of ways to preserve bananas.
