You didn’t just get to this, she said. I saw the double ticks. Damn. She was right.

Not to take away from the general message but that’s exactly why I never enable read receipts.

If I run a vpn on it then the Googled OS may still know my location(from wifi and bluethooth scanning that it may be doing nonstop)

GOS says everything is terribly insecure

Yes but after they win they have to raise prices…

Okay but why? No thank you.

All of them that I know of. Which corporations do you see running unsustainable business models until they fold completely? Take your time, I’ll wait.
