I think Hoyle needs to up the Lancastrian. He’s got the accent in spades, but he needs to start turning up in a flat cap and with a whippet.

RCS can be encrypted, but it’s optional. The reason is that RCS was originally designed to be run by the network operators who are generally required to be able to log all the messages they handle.

Leonardo balls lmao gottem

To add to this: you can install an open-source app called Shelter which will let you quickly set up a Work Profile for apps you want to keep isolated.

What a dick you are.

No-one is going to snatch your locked, trackable, account-associated, encrypted phone out of your hands. But a wallet full of cash and debit cards? A much better target.

You carry a bunch of random shit around with you? Well, some of us prefer to carry the utter minimal.

Phone crashes? What phone do you have that regularly crashes in this, the year of our Luigi 2024?

Network outage? That’s not how it works.

Dead battery? Anyone bothered by this has already got a solution.

Here’s the thing: I also don’t use my phone for payment much for same reasons as you, but I don’t feel the need act like a total cunt about it.

Well, now is your chance.

Go hunt. Kill skuls.

IIRC he’s given a big thumbs up to IKEA chargers in the past.

That’s some excrepioncal capaaacity right there.

I forgot about Final Space. Loved that show. Such things are clearly too good for this world.

I needed a new phone last year just as the Fairphone 5 was launched so I went with that. Very, very happy with it. I really don’t miss wireless charging: the main reason I used it on my old phone was to extend the range of it’s ageing battery. Having a new battery removed that problem - full day of heavy use, no issues at all - plus it takes all of twenty second to replace the battery once it starts to age.

Your phone has a feature called Work Profile that can be used to isolate your personal and work apps from each other. Normally you need to sign in to a company-specified app like Microsoft Company Portal to activate Work Profile, but Shelter is a simple, open-source app that will do it instead.

Geometry Dash. It’s the only game I played this year. So far, at least.

Soooooooooooooooooooooo IPFS link, anyone?

Fairphone 5. Just got mine. Love it. I’m now waiting for the /e/ or, at least Lineage image to be released for it.

I, too, like my chips with dip.

“But I promise that you’re going to be blown away by the promising I’ll be doing in the future. My promising will be authentic, intuitive, life-like and indistinguishable from the real thing. This is promising like you’ve never experienced before, and these are promises they will still sound assuring twenty years after they’re made. I’m so proud of the team for the work they’ve done on this and I’ve promised them a pay rise, holiday in Bora Bora and a blowjob from a $10000-a-night hooker with a mouthful of warm honey. That’s the kind of promises I’m talking about, promises that will change the way we think about promises and, if you have a moment, I’d like to make you some promises too…”

Can’t wait for the new Fable. My loins are girded in anticipation, or something.

One day I’m gonna fuck you all up by releasing a Linux distro called BTW.

Nothing makes me trust a company less than their email address being ISP-issued and their phone number being a mobile (in the UK all mobile number start with a 7).

UK here.

1000Mb/s symmetric FTTP, unlimited data for £29/mo, though I’m currently paying £1/mo as part of a promotion from YouFibre. Speeds as advertised, especially moving data to my server at work which is also on YouFibre - it’s like being on-site.

I’ve also got an unlimited data SIM card as a backup. Speeds vary but it’s usually over 800Mb/s down and 200Mb/s up. That’s £15/mo from Three.
