I just wish they weren’t so pricey for a casual vpn user. I’d be down with a cheap plan that throttles way down after like 20 gigs a month or something.

Some subs/instances simply don’t exist, or don’t exist on a usable scale outside of reddit. Try and find things on lemmy about yoyo’s, for instance. It doesn’t exist, and if it did it would be insanely small right now. But on reddit r/throwers is a yoyo sub with like 40,000 members.

Lemmy is all well and good for big stuff and general info and more mainstream things, but there’s a lot it still simply doesn’t have the user base for, yet.

Bro, how many years you been seeing movies and TV shows where they stomping on phones and pulling batteries an trashing them “so they aren’t tracked”. They do it in the movies because that public perception has been there for ages. True or not.

You are a brilliant man.

I wouldn’t trust my current phone even with a custom rom. Some stuff could be at the hardware level. You want to know your phone can’t be found for sure, buy a little Faraday cage box for like $15 online and then test it to make sure it works.

I’ll take it. I’d rather not lose my phone above it pinging the Bluetooth while powered off, and they sell Faraday cage boxes for pretty cheap if I have reason to not want any signal coming or going to my cell phone, which I would trust more than any phone pre android 15 with, if I want to be paranoid about it. So even now I don’t trust that my phone being off means it couldn’t be located. None of the hardware in my phone is open source.
