You can get an eSIM pretty cheap, or buy individual activation phones from truverifi and similar sites. But it’s like $30/mo if you want a private number. Just to activate services it’s a dollar or two depending on the services.
Just make sure you remove it as a security code phone # after you create the account.
There is one site I know of that sells Ukrainian phone numbers for $15/year. Texts come in via email. A phone number is a phone number, if it doesn’t have to be US for some reason.
Hard but not impossible. I’ve read reddit posts in my dreams back when I used to doomscroll. I remember the text being hard to read but readable sometimes, especially headlines.
While we can be pretty confident that Reddit has its own motivations (i.e. self-interest) for fighting these lawsuits, this is still a good news story for pirates.
Reddit blocks access to all major VPN services (on desktop for sure) when they click a link from a search engine (maybe even navigating directly to it but I don’t do that). This has been happening for about a month now. There’s a specific page it shows that basically says “come back without a VPN.”
I don’t think it does it if you’re logged in and have cookies enabled.
Caveat: there is a simple way to bypass it, I’ll let you old.heads figure that one out.
I seem to be completely unable to install qBittorrent as it force closes with no error message when I try to accept the license agreement. So far I have tried turning off the firewall, making an exception for it in Windows defender, disabling reputation based protection, and of course reboots, but nothing works....
I’d almost put money on it being AV. But I’d also think the installer wouldn’t just crash on locked file. That was my first thought too though since I don’t believe the qbt executable is signed.
Hello fellow pirates! I’m tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I’m looking for a client that removed them even if it’s against the TOS. Any tips? I’d rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original...
Russia’s elections commission has said it found “dead souls” among the more than 100,000 signatures of support submitted by Boris Nadezhdin, the sole anti-war candidate in next month’s presidential election, in a sign that he could be disqualified from a carefully managed ballot meant to deliver victory for Vladimir...
My dearest apologies, my dear lad or lady, I must be misinformed. I was under the mistaken assumption that we didn’t want Lemmy turning into reddit memefest of smoothbrainery. It shal’nt’nt happen again.
Citing unnamed sources, Reuters on Thursday reported that Iran had withdrawn senior officials from Syria following a series of Israeli airstrikes in a bid to avoid being directly drawn into a wider conflict in the region.
US officials told CNN this week that there were signs that the Iranian government was becoming increasingly concerned about the actions of its proxy groups in the region, who have launched over 160 attacks on US forces since October.
I wish people would remember that Random Russian Conscripts != Putin and Gang. Imagine living in a fucked up oligarchic kleptocracy and it’s your 16th birthday and you’re thinking about your girlfriend the test tomorrow and maybe moving to America to get away from it all when you graduate and suddenly you find out it’s your turn to get fed to the meat grinder. There are standing orders to shoot you if you attempt to flee to the safety of enemy hands.
Young Gregorvitch, why did you choose to be born in this place at this time, you piece of teenage garbage? You should have made better pre-life decisions.
I hope we never become truly FTL space-capable unless we breed this seemingly necessary hate of “the other” out of ourselves. Imagine the havoc we would wreck on the universe with all the “others” out there.
It’s insane how infested Lemmy is with anti-Western shills stirring the pot against the West in any way they can. My fiancee is Jewish but I’m not religious so we have debates/arguments about the war, but it’s clear here that any comment not “Israel is literally Satan” is downvoted to hell.
Don’t get me wrong it was bad on Reddit but Lemmy is on another level.
That’s a problem with decentralization that needs to be solved because at the moment the only tools to deal with any of the tens or hundreds of Lemmy instances plagued by propaganda is to defederate them (on the Admin side) or block each individual user/server/sub (on the User side).
At least with centralized services you can detect and (shadow)ban obvious bot activity quite easily. As far as I know of Lemmy infrastructure, your IP/User-Agent/other identifying metadata only goes as far as the server you’re registered to.
Running a popular Lemmy server is probably a nice way to collect some juicy 0days from governments though, if you have the skillset.

My mom can be like that sometimes, she’s always had bad memory lapses in the strangest of times. No drug or drink, and no sunflower seeds or nasty anti-burgular precautions, but once she called me in a nearly empty Walmart parking lot after close because she couldn’t find her car and thought someone had stolen it. She called me when I was about 5 minutes away saying she found it, it just wasn’t where she remembered parking it. In a nearly empty lot.
And I misread FIL as stepdad. That’s a much better life outcome for you 😆
While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I’ve gotten burned with what I’m getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff.

Edit: After reading some of the responses, it’s made me realize why IT often wants to heavily restrict what you can do on a work PC, which is frustrating from an end user perspective, but if people are just clicking links in emails and not following basic internet safety, then damn.
