Can’t you just make up a story that you got banned from Whatsapp instead of actually trying to get yourself banned?
- Comment on i have been living in middle east for almost 20 years and would like to be an american/canadian citizen, how can i become 1? how much will it cost? ar there other western nations which have easyproces 9 hours ago:
The 3 most common options are through:
- Work - you need a US based company to sponsor you. Apply for jobs that offer sponsorship and relocation support. Or work for a company in your country that has an office in your desired destination, and ask to be relocated.
- Education - attend university in your desired destination.
- Marriage - fall in love with a citizen of your desired destination and get married.
You’ll have to get in through a visa based on the above categories, then apply for permanent residency once you’re in. Only after a few years of being a permanent resident can you apply for citizenship. Note that this can take years depending on the category and the country you’re from.

Ah they don’t show the price unless you create an account first I guess. Do you know if the price difference is significant?

- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 5 days ago:
The Kona EV still has physical controls for the A/C and other essential stuff. It uses a key fob though, just like most regular cars nowadays. But at least it’s not a card or something.

The Leaf is being redesigned to finally modernize it. The new one coming out later this year should be better now.
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 6 days ago:
Maybe his expectation is that companies will buy his product because people will have to feed the AI-generated code into it to test it, instead of having humans manually review everything. Basically telling people to create a problem so he can sell his solution.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 6 days ago:
I have one scenario where it’s useful. When in the car and entering a parking lot and you have to scan a qr/bar code on your phone, you can easily pick it up and get it out the window. That said, wireless charges on cars are terrible.

Have a look at www.privacyguides.org/en/. Their lists indicate OS/device compatibility and they also note any potential caveats.

Oh no worries, I was just curious as someone who’s familiar with the process. No need to elaborate further if you’re not comfortable sharing. Good luck with your future endeavors!

- Comment on Vivaldi, now with added VPN 1 week ago:
Regardless if you like Proton or not, having it bundled by default isn’t good. It should be opt-in.
- Comment on Ticketmaster may have violated consumer protection laws | The UK’s CMA weighs in after the Oasis reunion tour ticketing fiasco. 1 week ago:
They also take advantage of people in a rush to grab tickets or someone else gets them first, so people just buy whatever they can click, not noticing they are dynamically priced.
- Comment on Ticketmaster may have violated consumer protection laws | The UK’s CMA weighs in after the Oasis reunion tour ticketing fiasco. 1 week ago:
For the free tickets you got, I think it’s possible to go to the box office at the venue and ask them to print paper tickets for you.

- Comment on GM blocks dealership from installing Apple CarPlay retrofit kits in EVs 1 week ago:
And considering it’s GM, it’s not really hard to avoid buying them when there are better options.
- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 1 week ago:
Like others already mentioned, they don’t just differ in size, but in shape as well. What I would prefer is different varieties for each size per sex. For example, I am an Asian medium. So when buying shirts in the US, I’m in that weird spot where a US medium is too wide on the shoulders and the sleeves too big, but the torso is just right. On the other hand, a US small fits just right on the shoulder width and sleeves, but the torso is too tight. It would be great if there are variations based on build as well like pants (i.e. slim, standard, wide, etc.).

I do, but cheese doesn’t love me. I’m lactose intolerant. I can take a small serving, but too much will make me hit the toilet. Thank goodness there are a lot of dairy alternatives now.
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 2 weeks ago:
Corporations are extremely protective about their branding, even if it’s for discontinued products. If this product gets any negative press, it can still affect their branding if people associate it with Intel.

If you’re on a desktop alexandrite.app’s 2-column view is great.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 weeks ago:
I agree with you, truly. But in my scenario, riding a bicycle in third world traffic that is hostile to cyclists, at 33-35C and 100% humidity, and very polluted air, isn’t really ideal. Having said that, there is public transportation, which isn’t all too great, but at least it exists.

Yeah, but when it takes an hour to drive 4 kms, it gets old pretty quick.

I’m sorry, but this exchange just made me bust out laughing.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 weeks ago:
I used to drive stick in one of the most dense cities and worst traffic on the planet. My left calf muscle is noticeably larger than my right. Manual is enjoyable and freeing, but at this point I prefer an automatic in urban areas with heavy traffic. The volume knob shifter is still weird though.
