The fact that telegram operates in a country that scores 18/100 on global freedom and 30/100 on internet freedom.

Any reasons why?

Honestly, I was going to say Tuta, but seeing how proton changed, I would now add the option of self hosting.

I am unsure how difficult or easy it is, but it’s becoming a very viable option now.

Teams does record how much a member talked and displays a bar that shows that information.

I wouldn’t be surprised if zoom does something similar.

Have you tried using the futo keyboard app?

Supposedly does everything offline locally.

Even though the android version of it has been discontinued, Syncthing remains my top FOSS app. Not sure how it will behave in the future but v1.28.1 works well for now.

My advice would be to look into emulators. Old school games do not have any micro transactions and are complete. Plus there is a vast library of consoles and games to go through.

I understand your concern, but assuming someone looks over all of that, there isn’t something genuinely exciting about it.

Not to mention the terrible traffic it is in now due to the Russia- Ukraine war, other unstable countries within the region, the terrible public transport system Dubai has anyway.

Honestly speaking, Dubai.

Not because of slavery, poop trucks, questionable government policies, etc.

The real reason to me is that it does not offer anything traditional or historical. Yes it has some five start restaurants. Yes it has some big malls. Yes you can do stuff like desert driving or hot air balloons. These are all stuff that could be done anywhere else for cheaper.

Depends on your phone, some Samsung phones come with modes that can do that out of the box.

Most of these browsers use the enterprise policy of chromium.

For a year, but it will be extremely difficult for them to maintain mv2 after jun 2025.

File level access to files. I would love to have the option of moving files in folders and connecting it to a PC to drag and drop files.

True multi tasking.

Ability to install apps from other sources.

Ask a Ninja.

Honestly, one month of a service like Netflix or Disney. I’m against these services but I feel $15 will give great value for a month.

Honestly, I root for lemmy and use it daily. However, Reddit still wins on pure content and niche communities.

Mine would be king of fighters 99. It’s on ps1 though.

I use aegis as my 2fa app. I backup the 2fa seeds in my keepass file.

Get yourself the Lenovo. They are good.

Working from Home is a must, and spending quality time with the loved ones.

Climbing the corporate ladder isn’t my priority now anymore. I am more interested in work that pays for my hobbies and spending time with my loved ones.
