Yeah, I'm a Britbong and apparently we're regarded for knowing satire when it stares us in the face.

And we've also had the simple truth that the Germans at one point were terribad at it but are now nailing it down, especially when you come to the above users calling it "satire".

It's a shit joke in very bad taste no matter where you're from or whatever political spectrum you're aligned to. Made me giggle to be honest, and especially so how you downvoted for not getting lel joke.

Tally ho'

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.

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.

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 ;)

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 “901” 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.

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.

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.

Gravity was spot on that day

tldr: You need to learn instead of sucking blood and/or being a bot

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

That's strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it's fine 🤔

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

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

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? 🙈

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.

: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.

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.
