The Myth of Airplane Mode
You're being lied to. Airplane mode does NOT hide your location. Google and Apple continue to collect it, by seeing what WiFi endpoints are near you, and then figuring out where you are through a process known as "WiFi Triangulation". [1]
Further, phones have two "brains", and the part that connects to the cell towers does NOT have to obey Airplane mode. This is called the "baseband modem", and airplane mode is an API request from the main motherboard to this modem, ASKING if it would PLEASE consider killing service.
And even worse, the baseband doesn't even need a SIM card. You can call 911 emergency without service, without wifi, just standing outside. Calyx Institute devs LIE about this on Matrix, but dial it and hear your local operator tell you the truth.
In fact, you don't even need to be the government to abuse this. Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of the University of Luxembourg demonstrated with just around $1500 in equipment, ANY RANDOM civilian hacker, who doesn't even work for the telecom, can FAKE being the cellphone tower near you. Source:

This is all why it's so critical to use GrapheneOS which helps against these types of attacks, and to buy your phone anonymously in cryptocurrency, because if you don't, it's essentially like a dog collar. At their will, they can see where you are, who you're standing near (if they have a phone too), and even turn the mics on to record.
My abusive competitors in the degoogled phone industry all charge way above Google's official store, and Google's search gives them traffic to make it harder to switch. For example on the model 8:
AbovePhone.com
Pixel 8: $999
DigitalPrivacy.shop
Pixel 8: $729
Google Official Store
Pixel 8: $599
While as I sell them BELOW the official store:
Simplified Privacy
Pixel 8: $499
PLUS you get a consult on its use, Why? Because I am on a mission. I need to get these phones, and the privacy that goes with it, in the hands of as many people as possible. And if Google search wants to oppress and censor our website, so be it. You and you alone deserve your data:

Vilains need to exist and have stories as interesting as the heroes’, but it’s the heroes for me without a doubt.
Even though I recall some villains’ stories, it’s very low compared to the heroes’.
Watched S1. I usually never watch TV shows, but since I like LoL I gave it a try, and it was really, really good.
I hope S2 will be at least as good !
Nostr Lyn needs a different profile picture than Twitter Lyn.
I’d rather spend energy making nostr better than making Twitter worse. 🤷♂️
Most of my twitter ads are scam tokens anyway.
Never cared about who is the author.
I usually skip the "About the author" bit at the beginning of books, and come back to read it after I've finished the book.
I don't care about the protagonists' genders either, or their sexual orientation for that matter.
I just want to read a good book.
-iOS and web.
-No, unless on a bad network. Twitter works fine on bad network, Primal never does.
-Fine as usual.
Works fine unless on shitty network.
Of course I would start a new series from any new author, or from authors that finish their stories like Joe Abercrombie.
I was just giving my opinion about what I dislike most, and for example if GRRM starts any new saga, I’m never picking up the first book until the last one is actually written.
I’m not picky about the setting and story in general, but I hate unfinished stories.
I’ll never probably never read anything from GRRM (GoT) or Patrick Rothfuss (The kingkiller chronicle).
If you start with a novel, please make sure it’ll have a proper ending, or that you have a solid plan for the next book(s).
And the answer is: Squat Cleans!
And a PR at 316lbs!! 💪

PRs aren’t supposed to look that easy though. 😅
Clean and Jerk ? 🏋️♂️
Rule number one :
"The money is fine.
Let it be known all of Society's problems are NEVER caused by the money.
Do what it takes.
Conceal. Complicate. Confuse.
But NEVER speak ill of the money.
The money is fine."
Ya’ll want Nostr Lyn to write a sci fi novel in whatever spare time she has, or get back to finance?
I remember most of the sci-fi novels I’ve read in my life.
I’ve forgotten 99.99% of the finance news I’ve read in my life.
The world isn’t black and white. So are most people.
I'm not sure it's about that. Do you think many people care about their posts from years ago ? I save the important stuff on my own devices, but I couldn't give a shit if my whole message history was deleted tomorrow.
IMHO most are not ready to go "nostr only", or even "mostly nostr" because nostr is just very small compared to say, Twitter.
The point of a social network is to socialize, and so the network effect is very important.
So, as long as Twitter and/or other big social networks are functioning "normally", there is just not enough incentive to go nostr only/mostly nostr for most of them, and for most people in general.
