Yeah, you can make payments with MobileCoin. 🤮
Luckily, Signal does give you the option to completely ignore it. I only see it mentioned in the settings and I have not enabled it.
Same with stories, you can enable/disable them. Although, if I want to convince my normies friends to look at Signal using stories probably helps that. 🤷
Amazon is a hard one to find an alternative to. Mostly what I try to do now is buy directly from the brand. But they don’t always have their own website.
Other times I can find the item locally. I’ll buy it even if it costs a little more.
Also, sometimes the item is only available at Amazon or Home Depot online, for example. In that case, I’ll pick Home Depot cuz they’re a slightly smaller megacorp.
As a very last resort, I’ll will begrudgingly buy from Amazon. Like if the item is only on Amazon or if the item is significantly cheaper there…
But, fuck Amazon Prime! That’s a total scam. I canceled that years ago and never looked back.
Oooh! They made Peertube?!
Unfortunately, Google and Apple have crippled PWAs. Surprise, surprise. They don’t get the attention, features, or bug fixes native apps get.
But also, a lot of apps are just views into websites anyway. So I bet a lot of apps could just be PWAs.
The main hurdle is getting people to install the PWAs instead of apps. It’s a different install flow.
Too late! I’m moving to Fluxer!
If the tool were good, we’d all just use it.”
Eggs-mothafucking-zackly!!!
There are no daily pressure campaigns to convince you to use a laptop or a smartphone. The value of those are self-evident.
AI on the other hand… -_-
Yeah, I’m not buying any more Pixels. I got the Fairphone 6! It’s good! I’m in the US, so I got it from Clove. Works fine on T-Mobile.
Although, I’m currently running Android… Probably have to install e/OS or something.
I hope Fairphone can continue to grow to eventually meet Graphene’s hardware requirements.
Gah. I was really torn between replacing my broken Pixel with another Pixel+GOS or buying a Fairphone 6…
I ended up going with the Fairphone 6 cuz I want to support other players. I’m not completely off Google, but I keep moving away where I can.
I wish Fairphone and Graphene were friends… :/
I had the exact same question! Thanks for posting!
Hm. I haven’t interacted with a new Signal user in a while… but I do see in settings two knobs: “who can see my phone number” and “who can find me with my phone number”. Both of these settings can be set to “nobody”.
I’m guessing if I set “who can find me with my phone number” to “nobody”, then even if someone has my phone number in their contacts, they wouldn’t know I’m a Signal user?
