I keep thinking about stuff like:

  • The fact that there are galaxies I won't be able to visit (because I'd be dead before humanity goes interstellar)
  • The face that my childhood sucked and I could never really experince a normal childhood again in this lifetime (feeling of "nostalgia")
  • The fact that there are secrets the government is hiding that the average civillian will never be able to know (fear of "missing out")
  • We may never discover the true nature / true origin of the universe (at least, not in my lifespan)
  • Not knowing if the world is even real (as in, simulation theory, solipcism)
  • There would be Movies and TV shows I wont be able to experience (fear of missing out)
  • There were technology that I never got to experience "in the moment": telegraphs, black and white tv, radios, old gaming devices, etc... (I mean yes, they still exist, but its not the same as experiencing it in that time period). To be clear, I still prefer current and future technology, but I just want to go back in time for like a week to check things out like it was back then, then come back, you get what I'm saying?

I can't ever just stop thinking and relax. My brain is so fucked.

This isn't like a "phase", this has been my life for years. Constant non-stop thoughts. ๐Ÿ˜“

Read my other comment. It leads back to the same thing.

Okay, so I attempted to access it again. Its currently in a weird state of partial access.

I can "log in" but as soon as I try to access anything, say, Gmail, I get that screen again.

This is what the settings page looks like:

So its not totally locked out, but its not functional either, I'm not even on a VPN.

Notice, 2FA is off.

Then I click Gmail and get this:

I tap "more ways to verify" and get this:

I tap the only option, and it circles back to the previous screen.

MFA was never enabled.

Bruh, I was testing some android features and wiped an android phone, then when I tried to log in again, they wanted a verification code from the previous device, the one I just wiped. Not even will a phone number satisfy them.

Its essentially locked out, unless I get a time machine to undo wiping the phone.

I mean, what happens if someone lose their phone and wants to log in to google to wipe their device? Like... how would you obtain the verification code on a phone a thief now has?

Its just even just privacy issues, Google is braindead when it come to their "security".

Luckily, I wiped it in settings so FRP was off.

Laptop manufacturers are also looking to move away from windows to a linux bases operating system.

I'm worried about Chinese mobile OSes intentionally designed to make it difficult for VPN apps to work, and companies would just give up trying to design a separate app for the Chinese market, which reinforces a tighter grip on censorship.

Not to mention, all the other FOSS tools that would no longer work if they make android .apks incompatible, including a lot of encryption apps.

I'm Gen Z and I'm curious what is this "friendship" you speak of?

๐Ÿ’€


I mean, how are you suppose to talk to people when your peers are all looking in their phone all the time throughout k-12 school.

Especially if your parents didn't also get you a phone, and now you look like some "poor weirdo"

The only time people would talk to you is "Hey look at this funny meme/gif/short-video/online-post/etc..."

The only topics of discussions, other than school subjects, is discussing the topics discussed on their group chats. If you didn't get in their group chat, welp, I guess you wont have friends.

Yay, Gen Z! ๐Ÿ™ƒ

(make sure you have a VPN)

Inb4 trump announces a nationwide no drone zone.

(There's zero check on that power btw, its completely under the purview of the president)

This is a carrier in the USA (T-Mobile).

I did a quick search for the other 2 carriers using the term "[Carrier Name] Family Tracking" and Verizon and AT&T also seems to have it.

And according to https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/t-mobile-familywhere-app, it says:

FamilyWhere uses geolocation data from the T-Mobile network and is not affected by changes to device location settings.

So it appears that its using cell tower triangulation. Turning on Airplane Mode should stop it (assuming there isn't a separate tracking app on your phone)

Oh Wow, What a wonderful tool for abusive spouses and abusive parents. And telecom companies are making money off of it. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

TLDR: Its a good idea to get your own separate cellular plan.
