Love that you have to specify it's a joke because someone here would legitimately try to help otherwise

Hold up aren't you the person who ditched the U.S. for Britain like a month ago?

Hope you get a job soon, keep on searching! Miracles happen when you least expect them :)

People that don't have quark are simply uncultured barbarians.

Sorry.

From now on whenever I talk about Android with Google Play Services I'll refer to it as the "shit sandwich OS"

It's possible to submit questions already. Getting a feeling there'll be some uncomfortable ones; we'll see if they dare to engage with those.

A lot of the frustration that people have stems from Firefox's deeply flawed financing model, whereby the focus can never be solely put on the quality of the browser. Personally, with Google now being recognized as a monopolist and Mozilla in danger of losing 85% of its funding, I hope they can adopt Thunderbird's financing model (i.e. donations).

Now that they're not doing fundraising for lawmaking and/or grassroots activism because their advocacy team shut down, I hope they'll get a few people together and start to raise money from the user base.

This could be a very positive change for Mozilla if they play it right.

Wow, you just... described the problem we had on our Windows PCs that I never managed to describe

I use Gramophone from F-Droid for playing MP3 files which are in folders. One of the tabs in Gramophone allows you to navigate your main music folder and it'll treat your folders as playlists!

Best comment I've read for a long time

Yeah wouldn't suggest using your real phone number

This is the correct answer. If you don't need notifications:

Make sure you enable the auto frost service in Shelter's settings, enable auto frost for WhatsApp in Shelter and replace the icon on your home screen with a Shelter shortcut.

You can also use a trustworthy VPN to route traffic from the entire work profile or only from WhatsApp.
