Your story doesn't drive clicks though...

I've spend many holidays alone at this point. Even last Christmas.

For New Years I usually try to get to the city, and walk around for a couple of hours enjoying the chaos around. You might bump into some random people, which could lead to who knows what?

You can put a piece of baking paper in between

I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

It's starting to be clear that the whole "ML - Leninism Marxism" was actually a big part of Lemmy.

I'm a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don't feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist...

Old price: $20 - 136 kr.

New price: 175 kr. - $25.77

I'm sorry but what? You actually raised the price for us in Denmark?

Old cost was 20 USD, and now you're marking it at 25 USD.

Personally I'm more for using a custom DNS server to block ads.

I was using Blokada 5, but found that it used a bit too much of my battery.

Now I just set my DNS to dns.adblock.com, and it gives me the same result.

There can be other reasons, and while it saddens me to say, we were forced to keep IE for specific web-panels, which hadn't been updated since the 90s.

Edge does, after all, allow for compability with such sites, which is a good thing.

Please note that this is work work-related machines only. I dont see how it's an issue when it has to do with your work account. You shouldn't be using this for other things than work.

Even "user-provided awards" should be kept out. It provides nothing substantial to the conversation.

It's like saying "This 👆", "I agree", or "Take my upvote!", all of which can be expressed by simply voting on the comment, which actually has an impact.

I have had the same number for close to 10 years now. Been using it for everything. All sorts of crap. After the big Facebook leak in 2021, I've started getting flooded with robo-calls, which is something I've never had to deal with before, since it's not a US number, but a small European one. I also signed up for some Crypto site, long ago, and my number has seemingly been sold over a couple of times, since I'm also getting those "You have an account with us with 9000 dollars worth of Bitcoin" scam calls.

I've been meaning to get myself an actual good number for a while, so I purchased one with a lot of repeating digits, which I've slowly been transitioning to for family and friends. I keep both numbers though, as I have so many accounts tied to the old one, that it's very hard to keep track of. Sometimes I still encounter a site, which I used years ago, that asks me to verify the login via my phone.

And that's why I still have it. Whenever a site asks to verify via phone, I will give the old number, which I already know has been breached multiple times. By doing this, I will keep my new number clean, and never give it out to an online service.

I'm just tired of the endless robo-calls, and as I'll only need to be able to receive texts, I figured I might as well completely disable inbound calls.

Yep, yep, yep - Cheers!

Seems like I was looking for "Call Barring", whatever that means. I'm stuck at the part where I have to enter a password (tried 0000), but I will get in touch with my phone company.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Auto Reject Calls (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by oxf@lemmy.world to c/android@lemdro.id

Hey,

I'm looking for a way to automatically reject all calls to my sim.

The reason for this, is that I'm running 2 sim cards, where one is explicitly used for 2FA, and other phone verifications online.

I'm hoping it will be possible to completely disable incoming phonecalls to this sim.

Thank you in advance!

LastPass is mpre known for being breached than being a password manager these days.

The last breach was brutal. Turns out notes weren't encrypted either.

Please look up the breaches of LastPass. Such things are simply unacceptable for a password manager.
