So apart from annying peeping sounds when the cleaning is done, you will also get an annoying notification with statisctics of how much water was used and how much CO2 you used sent to your email.

I find ryanair much more reliable than say Wizzair, who seems to be late everytime I use them, sometimes even hours. I think Ryanair strategy is to sell you a 20 euro ticket, and then get more money out of you by all kinds of moves. So if you have a bit of experience you can fly cheaply, if not, you will learn and pay more.

I recently bought a ticket. I check flights through 3rd party (kiwi) but always buy directly (dont feel like uploading my ID to some website) and it did not ask for anything. I think this is the way they fight the resellers? They check your identity before boarding so what is the point?

Yes, thats why I dont use cloud and have a degoogled android. The problem is that this is a slippery slope. I can say I dont mind because it doesnt affect me, but step by step they outlaw anything else, even custom roms and alternative app stores. Either people are against it, or this will get much worse down the line.

You go way out of your way to lick Apples boot here. With comparing hashes to whatever Apple wants/is told to, you can profile everyone, find leaked material the gov doesnt want you to have and so on. The fact that people just accept it, or endorse it is beyond me, but again, after the last 3 years I came to the conclusion that most people are scared to be free.

NetGuard is a good app to block internet access to apps you dont want connected to the web.

The client side scanning of contents of your phone is the most 1984 thing you will hear.

Yes, but if they can read your call log, thats all you need.

I think a lot of them do.

Does the app has access to your call log ? To verify you when you sign up?

The thing is that today you dont even need access to the coversation when you have metadata. Imagine, a woman calls a number of center for planned parenthood, is on the phone for 20 mins. Then she calls a number of her gyno doc for couple mins. Then her phone is located at that gyno doc a week later for 2 hours or whatever it takes. Do you need to decrypt the conversation? You already know what was discussed.
