You wouldn’t concern yourself with the legality, if your threat vector includes the traceability of the phone number.

And regarding your (in this context) nonsensical privilege remark: I live in such a country. Yet I have used such numbers.

If somebody is that paranoid (or in a situation where that level of secrecy is necessary) they would not use a number that is traceable to them… So it doesn’t matter if they have your phone number or not.

Are you fucking kidding me?! What do they even gain from that?

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

You don't. Apple is notorious for their walled garden approach. Microsoft has no interest in supporting Linux (why should they?). Don't know about Google.

I am pretty happy with pcloud. They offer lifetime licenses that are really worth it if you intend to stick with them long term. The automatic Backup works great and AFAIK they have clients for all major platform's. The android client could be better, but Windows and Linux works great. Don't miss any functionality and the connection (at least here in Germany) is fast.

Hardware great, software garbage. They really want to be like Apple but aren't even half as competent (which is more an insult to Samsung than praise to Apple). It comes bloated with all kind of garbage alot of which you can't uninstall (like Facebook). They have their own app store next to the Google Store which is annoying. It has no reason to be there other than distributing their shitty apps that I don't want in the first place.

I currently have an S21 and can't wait to have the spare income to replace it.

I have recently ordered a 7900xtx to replace my 1080ti. It was a good companion but just doesn't cut it anymore. Originally wanted to upgrade with the last gen but scalpers made that impossible. And the used market is still fucked in my region.

So you use Instagramm but are concerned that Threads collects too much data? Next you are going to tell me that you don't use Facebook because you don't trust the company behind it?

That is not the point... The anger stems from Americans deciding they want something and then strong arming other countries into complying.

That is just so much not the point... The anger stems from americans deciding they want something and EU kissing their asses to cater to all their needs. Just the fact that this

I don't mind shorts but their recommendations are somehow even worse that regular yt recommendations. And those are already dogshit...

I had the same feeling about the games length. First disappointed, then I realised that I didn't go through hours of filler content and was happy.

Great game imo. Hope the second part won't be cancelled or ruined by the usual bs that plagues other games.
