Handy to have an offline translation dictionary. I’ve used QuickDic for languages I know how to type, but I notice there are a bunch of more specialised Japanese dictionary apps in F-Droid that can search by radical or OCR if you don’t type or understand the characters.
No worries. The situation I was describing is indeed absurd and defies reasonable expectations.
Ah, that’s good then.
In Australia you really only need a name and date of birth and ID such as a passport or driving license number of the owner. No physical or even photographic proof. Some phone companies send the original sim a notification before moving it, but no response is required and moving the number often only takes 10~30mins.
Banks in Australia commonly use sms codes as 2fa.
A large percentage (20~30%?) of adult Australians have had their ID details leaked in recent years because there are no adequately enforced security requirements or data-retention limits. One of the largest breaches was the second largest mobile phone provider…
As in “Hi PhoneCompany, I’d like a mobile plan with you. Yes, I’d like to bring my old phone number over to the new account.”
Or “Hi PhoneCompanySupport, I’m @thingsiplay and i lost my sim, plz send me a new one. BTW my new address is …”
Ideally it shouldn’t happen, but phone company security is pretty slack sometimes,
Swapping the sim associated with your phone number – from your sim to their sim.
Same. Otherwise it’s dnscrypt on the router that’s gone wonky.
Easy with sudo apt remove --purge --allow-remove-essential --auto-remove systemd

:-D Time to go outside.
It’s a talking-head video presentation on a well-known video publishing website.
Given your browser couldn’t show anything useful from that webpage, @kugmo@sh.itjust.works offered a solution: just feed the URL into mpv, which happens to be excellent at playing audio/video from web pages if you also have yt-dlp installed.
Huh? Why not use K-9 or Fair Email?
They’re both excellent email clients.
LineageOS still phones home to Google for most things.
Do you have a source on this? I thought LineageOS was completely de-googled now.
AUR has just as much ability to fuck you over as piping curl to sh as an installation method.
Check your PKGBUILDs every single time and make sure you (still!) trust whatever repos it’s pulling the source/binaries from.
Conversations on Android and Siskin on iOS.
One non-techie parent has Siskin running on their iPhone and it hasn’t skipped a beat in years of messaging using omemo-encrypted XMPP. For servers, they’re on tigase.im and I’m on conversations.im.
Here’s a guide on optimum siskin settings; I don’t know if defaults are better now or not.
Conversations.im is free on fdroid but it’s well worth paying something to the developer directly.
Yep. Really need to compare the best-practice XMPP clients (e.g. Conversations, Siskin), not half-developed clients more suited to the XMPP landscape of 20 years ago. – Just as Matrix’s ranking in the table is high because only the state-of-the-art clients are considered – there are plenty of Matrix clients which don’t support e2ee, for example.
This list of mistakes isn’t exhaustive, but extending from poVoq’s mentions, here are some things XMPP(conversations) does actually have positive findings for:
I’m not sure there’s much differentiation between any apps when it comes to “What can the apps hand to police?”; if the police have physical access to your device and app, they have access to everything you do on that device/app.
Bullshit. You delete the entire model and start again.
