- Comment on Gsam battery monitor has been delisted? 2 weeks ago:
Sucks, I recently just noticed one of my most used apps SMBSync2 got yoinked but thankfully have it installed still, but I also noticed that APKmirror doesn’t even have a copy of it like it does for GSAM :/
- Comment on British travel bloggers ‘sugarcoating’ China’s Uyghur problem to the delight of Beijing: Influencers claim to be exposing 'Western lies' about Xinjiang, claiming they have not seen human rights abuses 1 month ago:
That’s strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it’s fine 🤔

- Comment on Government should “urgently” legalise e-scooters says shared transport charity - says serious safety incidents are rare 2 months ago:
I think one thing that’s missing from the equation is testing and licensing to ride/drive them.
I know it’s an English forum here but you need to have a set of cojones to “drive” an escoot/EUC on our roads and I only use it to travel the short distance to work.
I’ve gone down arterial roads suited up with live Bradford traffic, and it’s not for the faint of heart lemmi tell ya :/

It’s something that’s irking me.
I’ve been a bicyclist, car driver, drive for a living and also have a VSett that goes a steady 35mph max which means I can lane check but, because I can’t fugging insure the thing means I’m always looking over my shoulder if I need to dump some
keeneager copper.I’m starting to think of selling it so I can get a
eBikeSurron instead and blend in with the local wildlife around here. - Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
No fuggin doubt.
And you know what irks me more is when you buy things from places like eBay or other third party seller websites (where you’ve consented to their cookies/terms) your email address you use with them is then in the hands of a goofball who’s had their
personalbusiness PC been compromised.The few times I use eBay the email addy I use on their sees my inbox flooded. Fucking shitshow.
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
I’m aware of that, but I’m just pointing out many websites do not give you the consent options as stated above which imo are much more annoying.
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.
Some don’t give you an option, but actually have a much cleaner interface imo.
Whether or not it’s better since you still have to click OK, some don’t let you reject them at all.

There is no argument, you’re just a prat that likes to call people names when they surface bullshit.
I’d apologise if you could fathom what goes on with your feed but I also know masochists also like this bullshit in their feed and bickering about it.
Have fun!

Believe me I will do, and there’s no harm in calling it out since it’s completely off topic to our fine nation.
But your bait with name calling is again, telling. Hope your thumb gets better :(
- Comment on We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny 3 months ago:
No they don’t.
Also, it’s nice to make easy tags against agenda based instance users piling in with uncivil remarks.
Really telling, and appreciated.

Tell ya agenda based posters stand out like a sore thumb and I’ve seen these accounts far too many times modding over on lel weddits.
Sent a couple of reports in for this 1 week old account, might be wise to fire some more in?

We also have KFC and McDonald’s, but does that mean a study from the US about them should be posted here too?
It’s really not on topic especially since it’s coming from an Australian study?

- Comment on Google Pay alternative? 6 months ago:
A contactless card in the back of your phone case?
Note - The above answer doesn’t take in where you’re from since you didn’t state so and I imagine there’s plenty of places that can’t simply do that but…even though I could?
I personally won’t bring my C&P / contactless card out of the house unless necessary since it allows would-be finders instant access to withdrawals from my bank account, without any authentication required whatsoever unlike, GPay on my phone which at the very least needs my fingerprint?
It also pisses me off to be honest that my bank won’t supply me with a C&P, non-contactless card like my last bank did :/

See the thing is, I’m pretty Tasker can do that and we ain’t gonna let this meme die?
Make a Tasker widget that invokes said Termux script and we have nice UI too?
- Comment on Freely's Live UK Broadband TV Stream Service Goes Live 6 months ago:
I have two Rasp Pi Zero’s stuck behind my TV that cost me £10+£10 DVB HAT’s x 2 (before the COVID scalpers took effect) as a poor mans Homerun server that have plenty of storage - be that a new USB drive stuck in them or even using my NAS with NFS for storage.
Device cost/viability isn’t a thing here.
It’s getting people signing up to a service that’ll be plastered with adverts every 15 mins? I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.
- Comment on Freely's Live UK Broadband TV Stream Service Goes Live 6 months ago:
They’ll take my TVHeadend servers out of my cold dead hands if they think I’m signing up for that?

I don’t want no Thames water thank you very much.
Yorkshire Water, rip us enough already and is an easy supply.

Needing 5k for either/both is a good night out. Don’t fuck about these bois do they, and can we speculate some more since it’ll probably be true?
Yeah, I know it’s 3am but I seriously need this…

I was going for illegal drug shortages at first from the title, and then that made me ponder the efficiency of the legal trade routes Vs illegal.

- Comment on Has anyone had success with debloating their Phones? 7 months ago:
I take out Google Play Movies/YouTube/YouTube Music etc on every phone I buy these days especially since YT is a website and should not, be a system app and replaced by Newpipe.
Other than that I also like to delete my DCIM folder every now and then since it gets backed up to “my cloud” and seems to keep things, cleaner?
Shout out to SD Maid if you’re keen on cleaning things up?

- Comment on What would your recommended budget ($200-400) phones be? 11 months ago:
Just be aware with Xiaomi phones that you might be restricted for certain things.
You can’t unlock without setting up a Xiaomi account that includes, from memory, your email address, phone number, and date of birth.
Your memory really is not great, and you can use throwaway emails to deal with registering/receiving codes from them.
