There is Open Contacts which also acts as a dialer if you want it too. It creates its own database which could be useful if you don’t want other apps to have your contacts.

It works fine, I use that or Koler

That’s true.

Do you happen to know of any countries where the allowable level of contamination is zero?

I think most of Lemmy acknowled the beauty of Linux

I knew someone would come back with something like this.

You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.

Besides, if you don’t think you’re eating that stuff already then you haven’t looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.

You can put whatever they have infested in the freezer for a few days, then pick them out and transfer the contents to a sealed container.

When I lived in the tropics it was quite normal to have these in flour, grains, dried legumes, dried chillies etc.

Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless

New communities pop up, and older ones that didn’t have many posts sometimes get revived. So if I have the time and inclination I look at All after my Subscribed.

They actually did that with the SimplePhone. Last time I looked the pages were down but I know I archived them on the wayback machine.

They made lots of promises, including that a downloadable ROM would be available, the whole thing quickly crashed and burned.

Reddit had some pretty extensive threads about it. The whole thing seemed like a grift (it was) and convinced me to dump all their apps.

Anyway, if this is something you want to do you could check those threads, I know people linked to the phone they were using (from Alibaba) and the source code was on Codeberg iirc.

Off the top of my head though I can’t think of any that are based on a persons name. Rod, Chain, Peck, Hogshead etc.

For me SimpleX does everything I need. Unified push would be nice, and would address battery usage. I don’t need or want message sync, so that’s not an issue.

They all have tradeoffs, so it’s just a matter of your priorities. For instance I’m OK with the higher battery drain because it’s not using Google.

For length there is a Smoot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot

Edit: it’s 1.702 metres/ 5’7"

Is that what the whole thing is with jackfruit burgers and pulled jackfruit? They’re using the byproducts?

The one I had in my hotspot did not have a phone number attached. It was provisioned by the IMSI. This plan was cheaper than using my phone as a hotspot. I assumed that there was no phone number so you couldn’t game the system by getting this cheaper deal and popping the Sim into a phone.

So you are asking if this can be done? Some providers have data only Sims like what you get in a hotspot, or you could turn on do not disturb.

Is this a statement, or a question?

How did you happen to find that?

The original SMS version of Twitter.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

Actually I still don’t understand why anyone wants to use Twitter.

I don’t have any experience with AhaDNS Blitz.

With RethinkDNS I have had occasional failures on their Max resolver, changing to Sky then works. That has only happened two times though, and was fixed with a few hours.

Sorry I can’t be more help.

I really like the block all apps by default. I read release notes, download something, scan with App Manager. If that’s all good then it can connect to the internet.

And I use the Wikipedia app so I can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and the app still works.

ControlD is good, I have it setup at work. Their paid plans allow more fine control.

They can also be used to unlock geoblocking both on free and paid plans.

Coworkers need TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter, otherwise I would block that crap too.
