Gitlab is crazy. They require my phone number and credit card details just to create an account.

Maybe debit card would also work, but why they need this info at all? I wanted to create new issue for app, but Gitlab required card details. I had to write to the developer in Matrix.

Why liquids contain lead and uranium?

michael_palmer ,

This one is much better. But more expensive too.

You can disable google apps with adb without root.

michael_palmer ,

I'm curious. What is the model of your phone?

michael_palmer ,

michael_palmer ,

At least you can flash it from PC

Why fdroid build is outdated?

michael_palmer ,

Freetube supports maximum 1080p, you should specify it.

michael_palmer ,

I uploaded this pictures in my old Xiaomi cloud account. It took almost 100 MB out of 5 GB free space. Other 4.9 GB is taken by Winnie the Pooh pictures and memes about Xi.

michael_palmer ,

If you want support Mozilla then go to their donation page and send them money directly

michael_palmer ,

It's optional

michael_palmer ,

By default defender is active on AtlasOS. You can disable it manually with bat script

michael_palmer ,

New versions of Android have made turning off mobile data more inconvenient. Now, you need to tap twice instead of just once in previous versions.

michael_palmer ,

As I know you can't even unlock bootloader on modern Huawei devices

michael_palmer ,

Alpine Linux with Gnome somehow works faster then Mint with Cinnamon on my old laptop (i3 3rd-gen).

michael_palmer ,

Why doesn't anyone specify that Graphene OS can only be installed on Pixel?

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone ( lemmy.world )

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

michael_palmer ,

Google-free phones? What are they? I know only Pinephone and Librem 5.

michael_palmer ,

Huawei doesn't even provide possibility to unlock bootloader, so it's big NO. Currently I'm using Lineage OS on my primary phone and Linux on secondary phone. But the main problem is big amount of proprietary staff like modems, that can even work bypassing SOC and OS. I found only one phone with truly open-source hardware. It's Liberty phone from Purism. It costs 2000$ and has perfomance comparable to 50$ Android phone.

michael_palmer ,

I thought about it too, but I want to make a tablet based on RPI 5. I have a 3D printer, so I hope to be able to make an adequately sized case.

michael_palmer ,

Guys, have you ever been screwed by chinese seller on Aliexpress? Or missleaded by chinese ad? Lie and cheating is a part of chinese culture. So I think, that China is really a security threat.

michael_palmer ,

Tiktok was caught spying on American journalists. Where is the racism here?

1000/50mpbs 25€/month

michael_palmer ,

Because downloading large files takes hours instead of minutes

michael_palmer ,

Game stores like Steam and GOG can provide download speeds of up to 1 Gbps or more, also torrents have no speed limits, it depends on the number of seeders

michael_palmer ,

Average 4K BDRIP movie is 60 GB, average AAA game is 60-100+ GB. So you are saying that watching movie once a week and downloading one game is not normal? Using 1 GBit Internet means saving 3-6 hours of time per week.

michael_palmer ,

Most of the time, the idea to watch a film comes to me quite suddenly, so I have to wait until the film is at least partially downloaded before I start watching it. And even downloading an app from the repository takes 10 times less time. And 1000 MBps internet is only 5-10 euros more expensive than 100 MBps.

michael_palmer ,

Nothing prevents you from using your Smart TV in the same way as a dumb TV. Just don't connect your TV to the internet and use a third-party device via HDMI.

michael_palmer ,

What is the problem?

michael_palmer ,

That's crazy. I always recommend people to use self hosted Wireguard VPN. Installation is basically one command from github (autoinstaller script). Or use Mullvad VPN, it seems to be privacy-friendly.

michael_palmer ,

Does your government violate human rights?

michael_palmer ,

We need to come out with a white sheet and a flashlight and stand in protest against the attack.

michael_palmer ,

He said "I got hit in the legs again, fuck"

michael_palmer ,

I was doing similar shit. Scanned russian IPs with RouterScan to find vulnerable routers and then changed SSID to "Putin sucks" and so on)

michael_palmer ,

They expose themselves to risks simply by living in Russia.

michael_palmer ,

State-connected polling agencies have published results purportedly showing strong support for the war. The government-controlled pollster VTsIOM claimed on March 5 that 71 percent of Russians support what the state calls the "special military operation" in Ukraine. On March 3, another state-controlled agency, FOM, reported a poll conducted on February 25-27 that found 65 percent of Russians supported the war.

Also "not their choise"? I can assure you that these statistics are true.

michael_palmer ,

Supporting the actions of the authorities. Or simply inaction, even if they do not support them.

michael_palmer ,

1)Did you see the big protests? As far as I know, only a few thousand people protested in 2022.
2)I personally bought stolen Telegram accounts. Most of them were russians under the age of 18. Most of the accounts contained subscriptions to such channels as "Z war", "dead ukrainians" and so on. So, personally, I believe in these statistics.

michael_palmer ,

Actually, my goverment is doing the same shit as Russian goverment. That's why I left my country.

michael_palmer ,

I don't understand your sarcasm(?)

michael_palmer ,

It's not as complicated as it sounds. Mostly, it's just a matter of following the instructions.

michael_palmer ,

Firstly get access to ssh console of your server. Then use this script to install wireguard. Then use this command to install pi-hole. These scripts definitely work on Debian and Ubuntu, I haven't tested other systems.

michael_palmer ,

Just in case, I use ADB & Fastboot tools on my phone(root on phone required) to quickly install smarttube on hotel TVs.
