Buy monero. No need for all that pii

Nope, you are still correct. To the best of my knowledge.

I can’t use it between Android and iOS because I don’t have Google Play Services and RCS requires Google Play Services and Google Messenger on Android to work. No third party app can use it.

That sounds like super sketch, bro. I can’t believe normies are into that kind of shit. Okay, well actually I can, but it just makes me a little sad. 😭

Monero is the absolute best privacy you’re going to get for online payments, although it’s not accepted in a lot of places.

It appears as though cloaked wireless might be a better deal.

Phreeli offers #25/mo for unlimited talk and text with zero gigs of data per month. They give you a free 2GB at signup, but once you are done with that, you have to pay $20 for 5GB. That $25 does include government extortion and fees.

Cloped wireless also offers a $25 per month plan, but does not include extortion and fees in the price, so it would be more like $32. They give you unlimited talk and text with 500 megabytes of high-speed data and unlimited low-speed data after that.

You can pay both of them with Monero, which is why I’m definitely going to switch, but so far, I think I’m going to be going with cloaked wireless instead. Because they offer a lot of the same guarantees, but for a lower price (after data is added to phreeli)

It’s the OnePlus Nord N200. It was actually released in 2021, but I purchased it new in 2023, since I could get Lineage OS on it.

So it’s decidedly mid-range, but it gets the job done.

I would personally rather not spend two or three Monero on a phone if I can avoid it.

I bought this phone brand new in 2023 and have been using the 80-30 charge rule at all times since I purchased it and my battery health is incredibly good still.

According to the Android system settings, I just recently passed 400 charge cycles in two years.

If I could get a thousand cycles out of the battery, that would mean five years of daily use. Doing 80 to 30.

Agreed. unifiedPush should be tablesteaks

If it sounds like overkill on the privacy front, that’s a good chance that it means you should be using it LOL.

I don’t know of any. I use battery bot in combination with its notifications of charge above 80% and charge below 30%. And then in my Android system settings, I have the ability to cap my charge level at 81%.

They don’t have some sort of foreground service in the notification tray that keeps it running in the background?

Oh look, they also accept Monero as donations.

I’ve never heard of it, but damn it does sound interesting.

The fact that your identity is nothing but a Tor V3 onion address is incredibly interesting.

Those are super easy to change, so no one would know that it’s you across different addresses unless you specifically tell them.

I see they have an Android app, but I would want to make sure that it’s on fdroid.

At first glance, I’m able to find repositories with what looks like source code in it, so this might actually be something interesting to look into.

Also remember that fdroid is working on getting applications to use reproducible builds so that they are not the ones responsible for building the application. They just have to build it and check to see if it matches what the developer issued as the actual application.

They want you to not have to trust them.

You should switch banks to a bank that already has a web application and doesn’t require you to use a mobile application to make purchases.

I’m going to call bullshit. There are several decentralized storage networks and resource allocation networks over blockchains.
