I think Signal is against that because it compromises their security model. Also I think they aren’t required by law to implement it but I’m not sure.

Try flashing GrapheneOS if you’re comfortable with it?

Yes the DMA. WhatsApp has the skeleton code for it in place I think

As an Indian I would say India lacks in physical infrastructure - roads, public transport (although this is improving rapidly), etc. However having lived in Europe I will say that the technological infrastructure is very good over here - banking and payment systems (UPI is way better than the payment systems in Europe), online services, internet quality, etc.

Oh. In Dublin at least Google Maps is pretty good for public transport. OSM doesn’t show correct routes

OSM is good for public transport?

Elden Ring looks beautiful. You just need to get used to fighting a boss 100+ times before killing him ;_;

Horizon series is good. The 2nd game, Forbidden West is so good I used to open the photo mode at random spots and take pictures because I found the scenery beautiful. I would definitely recommend it.

Ghost of Tsushima is also beautiful. However I got bored pretty quickly but others have enjoyed the game so maybe you’ll like it.

Also Skyrim with mods (like ENB) can be beautiful as well :p

You could say Russian landing was more impactful and groundbreaking

Why was it allowed in the first place? Generally I’m pro freedom but in this case the phones should be locked down and there should be a whitelist of apps they can install. It’s not a personal phone.

Ah okay. Thanks!

Is it different from a pressure cooker? Because pressure cooker is similar (add water, rice, start cooking, wait for X whistles) and has multiple use cases.

I have major issues with this game’s battling system. The original game’s combat is pretty complex but it is well balanced with 6 different stats, types, abilities, etc. Pokemon go simplifies it into type advantages and a number (CP). CP is more affected by atk than def and hp. This (amongst other things) trivializes def and hp stats.

I was hopeful that they would rework this with pvp but they didn’t. Instead they tried to copy the Smogon tiers (the different leagues) but somehow made the original combat which requires a lot of strategy to a dumb tap fast to win combat.

I used to play Pokemon Go a lot till covid and I kept hoping for better updates and new mechanics (I even theorized how they could translate the turn based combat to real time) but it seemwd they didn’t want to make it anymore than what it was so I quit.

Ah cool. I never had to use this myself but I always found it kind of cool. I guess it’s good I never had to use this lol.

Not ethical: If you have to submit assignments (like .docx files) online and you haven’t finished it in time, take a random .docx file and edit it in a text editor (like notepad) and add/delete some random stuff. You can send this file and the professor won’t be able to open it so you will get an extension by default.

I don’t follow politics but yes I do use a RSS reader. Also you suggested US centric stuff and I don’t live there.

But yeah I get your point

Maybe I need to expand the pool of sites I frequent. Any recommendations?

I think you are confusing soulless with dead. It’s more alive than ever yes but it has become monotonous. The original feeling of individuality of websites has been reduced to the monotonity you see when you visit different websites. For example, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram or even their federated alternatives like Mastodon and Lemmy (I haven’t used Pixelfed) are designed in a similar way to that users feel familiar and don’t get turned off from using the website. This is just one example I can think of now.

Lol makes sense

I would add Digilocker as well. Completed removed my need for a wallet. But it’s not as great as these 2
