Yes (with some help from hardware expansions).

Going out doing what you love to do is great, and all - but not in front of everybody!

So… they banned social media for a whole 15 seconds?

Did you even read the article - particularly the part (and a further linked article) about that asshole Robby Starbuck (name now forever ruined for me)?

I think the problem lies in the very heart of what it means to be conservative or liberal. Conservatives tend towards group-think because they’re either bullies, or the bullied. Liberals - by the very definition of the word - are a much more widely varied bunch that understand & respect other people’s right to have a difference of opinion. Therefore it’s much more difficult to achieve a unified front on the left than it is on the right. This is why the right dominates our lives so much despite being in a relative minority.

To be fair, that IS why they exist, after all. That’s why it’s important to have regulations imposed by whatever authority so that they ALL have to honor certain minimum expectations of decency - you can’t reasonably expect any business to have expenses geared towards doing “the right things” that their competitors don’t also have to abide by. This is part of what the government is there for, and these assholes insist upon removing those guardrails just to squeeze out another few million dollars they don’t actually need.

Expulsion of an enema all over the camera would be tempting if it weren’t such a mess to clean up. Maybe in a rental…

Nowhere near an expert in this, but I know I’ve seen in the past that you could set your phone to turn on at a specific time (which means the RTC at a minimum is still running) - could a determined adversary not find a way to take advantage of that?

Your carrier HAS ratted on you. Under the incoming US administration, I’ve little doubt they will again.

If you’re logging in via Wi-Fi, that shouldn’t transmit your IMEI - but I admit that I don’t know if that’s something they do behind the scenes. They also could just use your IP address if logging in from home. They would be making an assumption you hadn’t sold it (or given it to someone else), but I can see that not being enough assurance.

As such, get a used tablet that you only ever use on public Wi-Fi (i.e. never log it into your home Wi-Fi). I’m sure there are some really cheap old ones on eBay - just make sure it’s on a version of Android the Play Store still supports (I think 6 is the minimum nowadays).

You can create an account on an Android phone that has no SIM or other accounts on it without being required to provide a phone number. Use an old wiped phone just for this.

Should be an interesting a depressing AF confoirmation hearing. Chaired by Mitch McConnell, BTW.

FTFY

All I see is the poster on Fox Mulder’s wall that said “I want to believe.”

Yeah, they said that about birds, too. Still not convinced this isn’t all some massively bad AI hallucination.

^(Please, PLEASE, PLEASE let this all be exactly that!!!)^

Why would they run into trouble if it weren’t real?!?

I think you need to start with establishing that said representative is actually real.

Huh. Shows how much of a horror movie fan I am. Thanks for the correction.

Wait. Captain Kirk mask? What a weird way to have a TIL moment. Thanks again!

“The group’s founder, Michael Meyer…”

I think I found your problem - might wanna check him for a hockey mask.

Not a category in interested in, but I did take a spin through your collection on GitLab. You lost all credibility with me when I saw your top web browser pick was Brave.
