There are several that do, namely protonmail. You can get an email address without having a previous one, but if you sign up to any website using a free protonmail account they require you to either pay, or give them another email account to verify you. Doesn’t stop you from using disposable emails from what I remember though.
Just note: Using the duress pin after you know the cops are after you could open you up to evidence tampering charges.
No mention of Microsoft Bob, BillindaOS11 in S tier. Obvious anti-MSBob slander, 0/10 ragebait
Quite frequently, at least given the language they use around some of it, they demonize it because they fetishize it. Given the general anti-sex bent (usually for Christianity-based reasons) of the far right, it’s a “temptation” they have to resist, which then puts the fault on the “tempter”, not the person with the fetish they can’t accept is fine to have.
I was raised in a conservative family, and one of the things that made me a whole lot better was that it’s fine to be into weird shit in bed. Not saying that’ll always be the case, but it is part of it. Some of it is just people who’re grossed out by feet thinking that it’s a moral failing to be into feet, some of it is people who’re into feet and feel guilty about it. Guilt, and shame do things to a person
Given the one post that wasn’t deleted, it’s probably crypto-related spam
To be fair, part of this is my own experience. I’ve owned a Chromebook (still have it… Somewhere?), and know how it works. I’ve never once touched a Mac xD
It’s funny how my opinion of this really is:
Linux > Only using a smartphone (GrapheneOS) > Only using a smartphone (LineageOS) > Only using a smartphone (ARM Linux) > Literally not having a computer at all > Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days > Screaming into the void hoping it claims me > Chromebook > Mac > Windows
I just did Linux/Chromebook(derogatory)/Mac/Windows but it really didn’t capture my disdain for the last 3 enough
It’s very wrong about my entire setup, but it’ll be because it can tell you didn’t download some things
Is there a reason to be concerned about the blocking anywhere besides email? I can’t think of any, but I might not be thinking of some usecases
I use two: Namecheap and omg.lol.
Admittedly omg.lol isn’t a traditional registrar, but they do give you a domain name and other stuff (I don’t use most of it), but it’s $20/yr
Namecheap varies, but last I checked it was a bit cheaper. Not by much, maybe $15/yr for my .monster domain?
You still can, at least on Android, it’s just less straightforward, and a bit less consistent
For anyone curious, makes mobile gaming a whole lot less painful too
I… Don’t know that I’d call Mullvad a good Chrome alternative. It’s the Tor browser for clearnet. Vivaldi yes, Mullvad… I love it, I use it, it is not what people who use Chrome want, largely
Honestly, I don’t even code much, and I didn’t at all when I downloaded emacs, but it’s so damn useful that it stays open any time my PC is on. Only time I close it is to make sure that my files stay synced when I leave my laptop on, and do something on my desktop.
Not anymore, but when collars were first added to clothing it was for comfort. It was in the mid 1400s, and clergy wore really stiff tunics with high necks, so they started wearing collared shirts underneath them for comfort. Shirts were also exclusively undergarments at the time.
After those came the big ruffly Elizabethan collars for wealth/status symbols, then detachable collars (shirts were still underwear!), and then WWI happened, and soldiers were issued soft shirts instead of stiff outer clothes as outerwear since it was more practical. That then leads us to the collared shirts of today because that preference came to civilian life from the war.
Oh that’s gross as shit. Seems they have a general BYOD plan, but I guess that only applies if they have that model of phone.
Didn’t even realize that could be an issue, given I’ve used a PinePhone of all things on my carrier and it worked as fine as one could expect mobile Linux to work
Yeah, I’ve tried finding alternatives, because having a second phone number was helpful, but… Nothin’. It’s still the fake phone number I give out to companies to stop them spamming my phone though
I’ve mostly used new budget phones, personally. My current phone is the most expensive one I’ve owned, and it was $400 xD I probably should do used more, but phones do usually last me a while, and I normally use a wallet case so they’re fairly well protected against drops
I haven’t heard of a carrier that doesn’t, at least personally. Then again, I’ve mostly used smaller carriers. Republic Wireless, FreedomPop, Mint, etc. I did use TMo for a while on a prepaid plan up until I got tired of the texting not working half the time
Huh, I’d never actually noticed they were higher price. Most of the time I’m buying the phone from the manufacturer’s website, and I at least didn’t see carrier locked phones on Motorola’s website when I got my last phone. Does make sense, though, given carriers will hope to subsidize some of the cost of the phone through the plan itself
Could be a more recent change? I tried this about 6 months ago. I got around it using a temp email, though. Admittedly I don’t use that account for much, and should probably delete it xD
