Is silent.link anonymous e-sim legit?
  • Pay with Monero, set up a VPN, buy a phone specifically for the service. I doubt you can get any more anonymous than that. Cellular networks are by default monitored by governments, there is nothing a provider can do about it. But encrypting the traffic and getting a new phone should make that type of monitoring relatively useless. And if you never give your identity to the provider, they simply can't know who you are.

  • If AI can now speak Italian, it can certainly replace us...
  • There is no single person responsible for Cyrillic script. It is mostly believed to be created by mixing and changing Greek and Glagolic scripts by the scholars of Preslav Literary School, which was indeed in Bulgaria. After a while, Peter the Great changed it a lot. And then Stalin stomped out almost all the deviations in the usage of the script.

    The last part is mostly why it is considered Russian. A lot of languages suffered because of Moscow just forcing them to use the version of Cyrillic that Russians were using.

  • Raivo wiped all of my TOTP codes
  • While Apple's products indeed are a bit less than compatible with privacy, it does not mean the owner of such products can't care about it. Maybe they just recenty got into it, or have to use their products for some Apple-only feature that is essential for them.

  • VLC enjoyers in Spain
  • I've used VLC for an incredibly long time, until I found about mpv about two weeks ago. It's both a lot lighter and packs a lot more utility. I can finally frame step backwards and see millisecond timestamps! The only downside is that you have to do a bit of tinkering with all the configs and plugins, but it's so worth it.

  • If you're posting a question please get to know this tricky little guy: ?
  • Not to invalidate the point made, but…

    While Japanese indeed uses question marks, you can get screwed if you think that every sentence without a question mark at the end is not a question. For example, this is a grammatically correct question:

    それは質問ですか。

  • Hello world
  • It's more or less similar to Reddit in terms of posting, voting and subscribing. The main power is indeed federation, meaning nobody needs huge servers to keep the network online. As long as instances don't blacklist each other, you can freely view posts from foreign instances, subscribe to communities there and comment, all with an account on your home instance.

    There are some gimmicks, like on Reddit you could just write

    /r/subreddit
    

    to send someone to a sub, but here you'll have to do

    !community@instance
    

    to specify the right place, e.g. !meta@programming.dev, but it's nothing too crazy.

  • Is it possible to get a virtual credit card for a different country?
  • Apple products are usually easy to use and hellishly restrictive, preventing the dum-dum user from breaking it. Phones that run under Android allow for much more customization and utility, to the point you can "soft lock" your OS.

    Apple is less functional, easy to use, hard to break (software-wise, at least). Android is more functional, though requires skills to get to the functionality and not break anything.

    Meaning those with the skills use Android. Thus, skill issue.
