not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • Huh. The nearest I have to an actual “AOSP” device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of “stock Android” I’ve ever seen, and I’m going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?

    Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I’ve barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.

    Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish…

    But there is something that just fuggs up and turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈







  • I think it’s actually my instance not loading “SD” images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it’s not until I click the “HD” button does it actually load images like the above?

    My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.

    Bad, Nicole 🫢


  • I hear ya.

    But like I say the Fediverse is a bit different to reddit and means someone from a freshly made/hosted instance can straight up send you “bad things” in a comment thread nevermind a DM unless the Instance admins have de-federated from a spam(my)/unmoderated instance.

    I’ve been putting off the invite to help the admins of my Instance since I’m a complete idiot at the best of times, but I do think we need more people flagging / tagging / sharing / mass banning them.

    Good luck and have fun with the risky clicks ;)

    Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?

    But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you’ve mentioned and I can’t see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse…works.

    Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you’re requesting outright allow you to block DM’s. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.

    I had another yesterday

    that didn’t show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could’ve been CSAM 🤬








  • It is absolutely insane, considering they have SCIF devices / rooms but also the option of “not using off the shelf” shit like Signal and using a phone number. But here they are.

    Hell, they could even use something like Briar / Matrix / whatever that is decentralised/does not require a phone number unlike Signal but instead they sent emotes, and classified information detrimental to US citizens over a centralised (third party) platform. Literally, insane.
