AdAway, AFWall+ (for restricting network access to apps), Root File Explorer (needed to get my watch working with GadgetBridge), Permission Manager X, Xposed Edge Pro (for hardware keys remapping), Pixels (for a hardware display fix)

Sony Xperia 1 iii – LineageOS w/microG

I received the tests. Can confirm that they are leftover tests that the government extended the expiration date on. The ones I got expired almost a year ago, and even with the extended expiration date, are only good for three more months.

Also, they do not appear to be reformulated to better detect any of the covid variants.

Do these tests detect the latest strains? Are these just leftovers from the last time the government sent out free tests?

failing to vote for Kamala is voting for trump.

No, it’s literally not. A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump. A vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein is exactly a vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein.

If you want to argue the math and the practicality of who people vote for in our current system, fine, but don’t gaslight people by telling them that their vote for one candidate is actually a vote for a different candidate.

Never stopped masking in clinics. In the last few months I am back to masking in crowded environments. Always wear KN-95 or equivalent quality mask. I don’t live in a high density or high population area.

Wore a mask to the theatre last night, and within ten minutes the stranger next to me started coughing and continued to do so throughout the film.

As far as I know, I have never gotten covid and I plan to keep it that way.

Really? Performance-wise, Firefox on Android runs great for me. No battery drain.

It is lacking in a lot of features though.

Yeah this is my solution. I run Bluebubbles on my Android phone and have the bluebubbles server running on an old mac mini.

This was a huge part of me being able to switch back to Android after being on iPhones for 6 years.

As someone who currently uses searxng and kagi, I can say that kagi gives the best results of any general internet search engine. Do I like paying money for it? Of course not. But it will keep getting mentioned as long as it keeps providing the best results.

Customer word of mouth ≠ shills.

OMG wtf no. No way. I’m out.

Set it on fire. All of it.

Oh good to know, thank you!

Yeah, currently it’s kind of a pain to donate to them. I’m pretty sure it can only be done directly through the app and it’s been a little buggy for me in the past; e.g. where the app claimed I wasn’t a monthly donor when, in fact, I am.

Good catch. It does look like that. Maybe the court already knew that Signal doesn’t have any data to hand over beyond the registration dates?

While this new method seems to be an overall net positive, I feel it’s important to note that the process of removing lignin from the bamboo is not an eco-friendly process, even when they claim to use eco-friendly chemicals to do so.

Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

I keep seeing this posted but I have yet to see anyone mention which brands are actually doing this.

I can see and smell this post and it’s very gross.

I hope this guy’s settlement includes a six-figure payout, as well as firing and banning the cop and sergeant from any future career in law enforcement.

Hey, let me dream.

It deeply saddens me when people pay money for locked down hardware that’s not only designed to spy on them, but their family, friends, and neighbors as well. Ring, Amazon Echo, Google Home, that creepy Facebook robot screen…all insecure spyware.

I wish people would stop making this stuff. Yeah it’s cute but no one plays games on these for longer than a minute. It’s ewaste being churned out while our planet is burning. We have to be more responsible than this.
