Is Your Phone Listening to You? | NOVA in c/technology@lemmy.world

I always say into the microphone of my smartphone, "I know you're listening to me." If they are really listening to me, they will get scared. And if not, no one will know about it.

Why FOSS projects are using proprietary, privacy invasive infrastructure? in c/foss@beehaw.org

Maybe debit card would also work, but why they need this info at all? I wanted to create new issue for app, but Gitlab required card details. I had to write to the developer in Matrix.

Gitlab is crazy. They require my phone number and credit card details just to create an account.

Official Telegram app on Android doesn't allow to send code in SMS (lemmy.sdf.org)

I completely broke my phone screen and attempted to log into my Telegram account from my secondary phone. I downloaded the APK from telegram.org, entered my phone number, but the app sent the code to another device with no option to receive it via SMS. Then, I tried to create a new account using a new physical SIM card, but Telegram still showed 'code sent to other device' as if the account was already registered on that SIM card. When I tried to add the phone number to my Telegram account, it displayed 'this number is not in Telegram.' It seems like Telegram blocks any attempts to send verification codes via SMS or call on Android. Want to know how I finally created a new account? I had to ask my friend to log in from his iPad. Unfortunately, that account got banned and deleted within 5 days, even though I wasn't doing anything wrong or suspicious.

I have a good enough solution for this problem in LineageOS 18

I've never seen this angle of Tiananmen Square's tankman before. Figured I would share. in c/historyporn@lemmy.world

I uploaded this pictures in my old Xiaomi cloud account. It took almost 100 MB out of 5 GB free space. Other 4.9 GB is taken by Winnie the Pooh pictures and memes about Xi.
