I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren’t already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren’t hiding their number anyway.
I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option then park it. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.
So easy to setup my tech illiterate parents could do it.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’m looking like 73% compatibility with the deck, so I’d assume slightly higher for the computer. I mostly play single player anyways so I’m probably overall looking good.
Thank you for this inspiration. I’ve also been things about a switch to Mint but the only thing holding me back is my Steam library. I’m going to dig into it a little more and look at the compatibility of my games. It’s encouraging to hear others making the leap.
I don’t recall what kind of car it was, but there was one that saved the phone number associated with any phone that connected via Bluetooth.
While I don’t think it’s likely as a way to trick people to connecting to get their phone number, it was a rental car which opened them up to impersonation scams. Knowing they just rented from the company and where in the city provides quite a bit of information on you.
There was also a mystery solving themed Canadian show to teach deductive reasoning.

I accidentally misread the instructions when I first heard of this and added 5ml of water for 25g of beans. The beans were chunkier after grinding but was the best cup of coffee I’ve ever made, definitely more delicious than dry grinding. Unsure how it compares to spritzing instead but just adding water works for me.

I used to use Mullvad but now I use a different service, but especially like to support open source products.
It’s going to vary based on the usage amount. Popular apps are going to be charged a lot.
From Reddit’s blog about the change:
Effective July 1, 2023, the rate for third-party apps that require higher usage limits is $0.24 per 1K API calls.
Apollo’s developer stated in May 2023, Apollo made 7 billion requests, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year.
Good article. Serves as a reminder that a breach in privacy will also give away information on everyone you interact with through that service.
Collectively, we need to encourage others to be cautious with our personal data that they upload.
It’s not too difficult to establish a Signal account from a burner number from a prepaid sim card. I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.
