Is that where clickhole gets its name?

IIRC the ad blocker toggles for Mullvad VPN on android were added this year.

I have a US passport and did multiple trips to the schengen area over the past year. The airport staff always makes me go to the passport scanning machines despite me telling them that it will reject me for being too complicated. They won't let me go directly to the manual line so I have to wait in the machine line, get rejected, and then wait in the manual line.

If you're in a car centric place it's usually faster to go inside too.

I wouldn't be surprised if some EVs get phony gears and broom broom noises

Lexus made one already

If you use the Cheogram app for JMP.chat it works like a normal call and messaging service. You can make phone calls through the dialer app or cheogram and send and receive messages through cheogram. The app takes you through setting everything up on the first run. The only issue I've had is that group messages only show the phone number and not the contact.

That being said, if you're only using it occasionally, Mysudo has a $0.99 plan while JMP.chat is $4.99.

As a non European, prepaid sims in Europe are complicated. Some companies won't sell sims to foreigners, some have little to no roaming. Some have activation fees that double the price.

Some examples: in Germany you need to do a video call to activate your sim, in Italy most providers require you to have an Italian tax number to buy a sim. In Romanian most of the plans have a paltry 1 GB of roaming.

Also most of the SIMs geared toward tourists don't allow roaming.

Unfortunately this won't work for Pixel devices because google disabled video out.

Istanbul requires a Turkish phone number or for you to scan your passport at a console.

I don't know, I just figured someone would have. I guess we're just a flyover instance.

How long until the flickr style group spam starts?
