Cookies are some data that websites store in your browser, its text arranged in key-value pair, it could contain anything.

But putting an ip address in cookie does not sound something anyone would wanna do as I dont know the purpose of such a thing

This could also refer to some ISPs that give free internet or cheap internet paid by ads, if such a thing exists already(if not it will be a thing in a few years)

These flip phones dont have anything other than a SIM card

You should consider buying a flip phone and only put in SIM card when you need it, assuming you can acquire SIM card without your name on it where you live

I thought digg was killed off by Reddit

We have had helicoptors for all these decades

Nobody cared to use Pocket so its not surprising, btw what was that Fakespot thing?

Humans are complicated, there may be someone who genuinely wants to change the nation for the better, then come home and use their wife and children as a punching bag. Would you like them? No. Would you vote for them? Maby, not because you want them but they seem to want to change something in the positive direction.

I am not telling this Krasnov fellow beats his wife, but you get the point, people can be bad and still supported

I mean as long as you dont say anything about Putin, Russia provides the best freedom of speech

Surprising considering their whole marketing point is “Swiss privacy”

Honestly, how is this political crap of who supports who has anything to do with this?

People should throw this “this person is x supporter so hes bad” out of the window

This is atleast positive

Please name the distro you are using so that others can be saved from this scam you unfortunately fell into

But honestly, what is your goal? If you want it to be a safe phone, just degoogle, install one of either Graphene or Calyx(dont ask me which one is better, I have no idea of either), dont install random apps you dont need, encrypt important stuff and you are good to go.

SIM tracking is another ball game, maby dont even have a SIM card. PIN lock your SIM card, only put it in your phone when you have to.

Maby put your phone in a Cement for more hardening /s

Unrelated but maby related to an extent.

Everyone I know uses Truecaller. Its a battery hog and a pile of horse manure. Except, one of my friend pointed out someone had added my number in Truecaller with some extremely ridiculous name that I had to register and change my name.

Ridiculous, but what can you say? India and Pakistan are both known to put up bullshit to promote their agenda
