@Elizafox unnecessary demands for govt id, financial surveillance, startups demanding phone numbers

@liaizon i am in berlin for the next 10 weeks

@liaizon @arh@mstdn.io it is not the same water! it is a separate system for emergencies

@mike you cant use notifications on webapps which is a requirement for realtime chat

@avalos@mstdn.social @fsf yeah people need and want more, as evidenced by slack and discord.

@mike apple id requires phone number. cant install ios apps without one. services require phone numbers. some require a payment card even if you add a gift card balance first. most mobile carriers interfere with vpn traffic, or block it entirely.

@nategullion nobody on the fediverse will give you that much free bandwidth

@Unabart try searing it outdoors at a temp high enough to smoke sesame oil. You’ll get a better crust/sear.
