Brain implants that steal your thought patterns, which then get fed into some artificial intelligence that can create the perfect ad for your to see, which then gets directed straight into your brain with the same implant so you’re pretty much forced to buy it. Maybe they can straight up alter your thoughts directly so you want to buy something, skipping the need for ads.

Oh wait… I’m probably just describing what Elon is up to in the long run.

My friend recently introduced me to Mathler.

It’s a game where you have to guess a math formula that’s equal to a given number, by giving both the digits (0-9) and operations on those numbers (+ - * /). You can even pick a difficulty depending on how good your math skills are.

Was your old phone rooted? You might have patched the odex files instead of the apk as others have pointed out. And it might be that modifying the actual installed apk file changes the signatures that the app checks for, while it assumes the odex files are correct and that it just works. I’ve seen some apps check for modifications from Lucky Patcher (even with odex patches), but not nearly all apps go to that kind of length, and it seems that this app doesn’t check. Disclaimer, I never delved deep into the actual working of this stuff, this is based on what I’ve noticed when I tried patching apps on a rooted vs non-rooted device. I think you might be outta luck unless you root your phone. Godspeed either way.

4K is still accessible to me, but a higher bitrate version of 1080p does get paywalled. I wonder if they just turned down the existing 1080p’s bitrate and are now trying to sell the solution to a problem that they’ve created.

I’d post the full complaint to a site like Pastebin, then share the link with them.

Though I wonder: if they limit the text to 250 characters, do they even care to read the complaints at all…

Fines like these should be exponential in some way, that way they can’t keep getting away with it.

Not sure if they exist for Armcord, but there’s plugins for some Discord enhancement mods (BetterDiscord/Replugged) that lets you send end-to-end encrypted messages if the other party also installs the same plugin. They basically show up as encrypted data for anyone that doesn’t install it. Useful for if you truly want the messages themselves to be secure if Discord is your only option.
