Javascript is overrated and more websites should be static with minimal interactive bs. But that’s just me, a cynical user tired of intrusive pop-ups and predatory advertising scripts.

Even if you got them using PGP somehow, there’s always a risk. Apps designed to upload screenshots, share contacts or simple human errors like “hey did you hear X saying Y”, etc.

Knowing Google, they will probably kill it after months of neglect.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every ‘cloud’ with ‘butt’ even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

Not sure if shadowbanning can work here. Wasting each instance’s limited pool of resources is not what we want to encourage.

Problem is how to read the disk, especially after generations. Will they retain the knowledge to build and operate a device for this?

I have been doing precisely that. You have your personal number and the secondary number that doesn’t have to be attached to your name if you want. Ofc law enforcement and telecom companies will be able to trace you based on cell tower locations and phone model.

Pro: An extra disposable number to give out whenever people ask you for “we need your phone number for ShittyDiscount”. Whenever the spam calls get annoying I simply pop it out and place another prepaid sim.

Con: Phones with dual sim support can be rarer to find and be more expensive depending on your country.

Kudos for self-hosting fediverse stuff, man.
