Just to clarify, Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and can vote for President if they are residents of any of the 50 States. It's only Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico (or other citizens living there) who cannot vote for President because the Constitution only grants this right to US States not federal territories.

2021 Census data captured 5.8 million Puerto Ricans living in a Presidential voting area but only time will tell if this made an impact.

It's not too difficult to establish a Signal account from a burner number from a prepaid sim card. I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option. Or, if you're lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.

I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren't already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren't hiding their number anyway.

So easy to setup my tech illiterate parents could do it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm looking like 73% compatibility with the deck, so I'd assume slightly higher for the computer. I mostly play single player anyways so I'm probably overall looking good.

Thank you for this inspiration. I've also been things about a switch to Mint but the only thing holding me back is my Steam library. I'm going to dig into it a little more and look at the compatibility of my games. It's encouraging to hear others making the leap.

I don't recall what kind of car it was, but there was one that saved the phone number associated with any phone that connected via Bluetooth.

While I don't think it's likely as a way to trick people to connecting to get their phone number, it was a rental car which opened them up to impersonation scams. Knowing they just rented from the company and where in the city provides quite a bit of information on you.

Voting for Trump is voting for a system that enables Project 2025.

Everyone focuses on the man, however, it's also a vote for his appointees and staffers.

There was also a mystery solving themed Canadian show to teach deductive reasoning.

I should have known if the apps free, you're the product. Duolingo appears to harvest the most data compared to other language learning apps.
