Another comment linked to a reddit post where Proton explained what happened.
Yeah, the credit card was on file for recurring payments.


it used to be very expensive to do it. Now it blew right on through free, and into highly profitable
Fuck! Never even thought about like that.
Everything in your post is too well put together. I think we just found Edward Snowden’s Lemmy account.


The Judge also ordered them to dispose of anything they had already recorded.
No way of actually checking that they did delete anything, but the possibility of footage or photos being leaked by a disgruntled worker, etc would be a massive liability for those two idiots.


Seeing this screenshot has prompted me to watch it tonight as well.
“Smell this!”
"Ew, what’s that?
“MY ASS”


According to Google, the idea of replacing current tools with open-source programs would not contribute to economic growth.
It would be more accurate to call it artificial economic growth.
But, these fuckheads would get laughed out of town if they told the truth.


Or storage drives


So you’re saying they’re too big to fail?


The UK didn’t ban leaded petrol until 1999 meaning most millenials will suffer from the boomer-loony disease as they were poisoned during their childhood.
Let’s also not forget that fuel for light aircraft still contains lead :/


Those meatheads will use it as another tool to abuse their wives and extract nudes from the classmates of their 15yo daughters


I only use Linux and I want Windows to just stay out of my way or it’ll pay, listen to what I say.


When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.
Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?


There is now a website doing exactly that:


Granny chargin’, not triple phasing like you should.


we’re closer to artists that live a strange life that few people understand, seems weird from the outside
Wow! That’s a great way to put it!
Now I understand why my neighbors look at me like I’m one of the guys performing this act:


Activate the private space and move sandboxed google play and any non-foss apps there. You can use separate user profiles to do this, but in practical use, the private space works much more smoothly. The “private space” is a fairly recent addition to GrapheneOS which is why most advice recommends to use multiple user profiles, but take it from me, the private space is much easier to use.
Only use free, open-source apps in the main profile. Installing F-droid to handle your apps works well here.
Alternatively you can install Obtainium to manage your apps. Obtainium can install apps from f-droid or if you are adventurous you can use obtainium to install and update apps from their github repos - but this can be a lot of effort.
For gps navigation Install OsmAnd and familiarize yourself with it and learn how to get it setup to your liking. OsmAnd can be tough at first so get used to it’s limitations. You MUST get in the habit of planning your route before you leave to minimize any problems or surprises.
Go to Signal’s website and find the app download link there, determine the download URL of the .apk file and paste that address into Obtainium as a source address so Obtainium can handle the installation and updates of Signal… Even though it is open source, signal isn’t on the f-droid repo so the only clean way of getting it is from their website. It can be installed from the play store but if you do that, it is possible for the feds to force google to push a compromised update to your phone in-particular.
Remove the sim card and leave it locked away in a drawer at home. There are plenty of places around town where free WiFi is available and very few people are too important to wait for you to return their message. Use a VPN (mullvad) with other peoples WiFi, though. In the Mullvad app’s split tunnelling settings, select show system apps, scroll down to “Captive Portal Login” and exclude it from the VPN connection - without doing this you won’t be able to hit the “I agree to the terms of use” prompt free WiFi connections present to users before allowing internet to connect.
Find a cheap VoIP/SIP provider. Install Linphone as your SIP client so you can make phone calls while out-and-about on free WiFi if the need ever presents itself.


I love watching YouTube with Kodi as it shows no ads. I guess they don’t love that.

This scene from A Clockwork Orange is how I view Google’s attitude of entitlement when it comes to exposing people to ads.
No sir, you don’t have the freedom to decide what gets displayed on your screens and even if you don’t block ads, you must not ignore them or put the volume on mute while they play.
Are those ads promoting scams? Are those ads delivering malware to your computer? Stiff shit buddy! You must view the ads.
How about a Casio calculator watch teamed up with a Garmin vivosmart band?

The Garmin works with Gadgetbridge.
