Not really possible. Ditch Instagram.

But according to governments around the world, we should use our IDs in order to access this kind of material. And this is exactly why it’s a fucking terrible idea.


What if my pixel doesn’t get Google Play system updates because I run GrapheneOS on it with no Google Play? I’m assuming it would not be buggy then.


Buy monero. No need for all that pii


They will probably pay a small fine and fix the problem and the world will move on.


Nope, you are still correct. To the best of my knowledge.


I can’t use it between Android and iOS because I don’t have Google Play Services and RCS requires Google Play Services and Google Messenger on Android to work. No third party app can use it.
That sounds like super sketch, bro. I can’t believe normies are into that kind of shit. Okay, well actually I can, but it just makes me a little sad. 😭
A similar attack actually took place on Monero in August of 2025. A mining pool called qubic decided to create their own cryptocurrency and mine Monero and then sell that Monero for Tether and buy their own coin back. This incentivized Monero miners to mine with them because they could get more in rewards than the Monero network itself was giving them. The attacking pool was able to gain between 33 and 35% of the network hashrate, but the other 66% would not join because it was against the Monero network’s interest. That 66% believe in Monero enough that they did not want to see Monero fail.
The Monero network has two-minute blocks, and the attacking pool managed to do an 18-block reorganization, or 36 minutes worth of blocks. This did cause the Monero price to drop somewhat, but the network handled it by just people organically asking for longer confirmations while the network was under attack. Most people on the Monero network consider a transaction to be finalized after 10 blocks or 20 minutes, and since the attacker was able to cause an 18 block reorganization, people started asking for around 30 blocks worth of confirmations.
In the end, the attack failed because the attacking pool realized that people still wanted to use the network even if it was under a denial of service attack and just asked for longer confirmations that they could not sustain the hashrate to undo.


In another comment, I specifically acknowledged that you could not track a device that is powered off, but as soon as it is powered back on, it would be trackable again.


Sorry, dictation. T-Mobile supports TOTP authentication, which you might know better as Google Authenticator, but the actual name of it is TOTP, or time-based One-Time Pads.


Team Mobile Connect offers five gigabytes of data, unlimited talk and text for $15 per month. That’s what I’ve been using for years now.


My carrier supports TOTP for this.


Somebody can’t steal your phone and pull the SIM card out so that it can’t be tracked.
As long as you don’t have the ability to enable airplane mode or disable cellular data from your notifications shade, you can’t stop it from being tracked if it’s stolen unless it’s physically powered off. And as soon as it’s physically powered on again, it’s immediately trackable.
Thank God there’s decentralized exchanges where you can exchange Monero for fiat if it’s necessary.


Not when you don’t use Google Play services, they can’t.
Monero is the absolute best privacy you’re going to get for online payments, although it’s not accepted in a lot of places.


It requires Google Play services, therefore it’s bullshit.
Open Street Maps. On android you can use osmand from fdroid
With that said, I’ve noticed that OSM does not have a lot of addresses, especially for residential areas, so I would recommend pairing that with gps-coordinates.net two convert street addresses into GPS coordinates.
