Been having a lot of issues with Mullvad being blocked. They need to do a better job at rotating IP addresses. Have Nord for streaming and that gets through 99% of streamers (100 with a server change).

Traveling through Central America and I'm surprised at how "hyped" their alleged use is. Even in places like El Salvador and Costa Rica it's only accepted in few niche places. Need to see how the Square integration is going in the States. So far only Steak and Shake consistently accept it.

You just haven’t noticed it before. Google refuses to allow a proper generic carrier support for some reason. Maybe so they don’t get sued by whatever countries version of the FCC. For example +Movil in Panama, Liberty in CR, Tigo in Guatemala. None of them work aside from basic LTE. No VoLTE nothing.

My Pixel nerfs itself whenever I cross the border into an unsupported country. Stuff just stops working like Wifi Calling whenever you add a local SIM (and yes the bands are supported). I have to use Pixel IMS just to enable basic stuff. Also forget about 5G (same scénario with the bands). Google will not enable stuff because it's not in their list of carriers. Not an issue with Samsung.

I have Android and iOS. There's some things both do better than the other. However iOS is the best when it comes to support, UI, and overall ecosystem.
For example Gboard on Android is unmatched. I also prefer Amethyst over other Nostr apps. The rest of the apps look like early 2000s flash apps.
iOS has better apps. Seamless syncing between other apple devices. Files integration for a lot of apps. And lastly Safari has a ton of really useful extensions.

Would be better if you could pay businesses and other people in USD instantly from your Bitcoin balance. Wider acceptance and more people holding Bitcoin balances. People would be incentivized to hold Bitcoin for the potential earnings.

In all seriousness it's become an echo chamber for some. Not a lot of engaging content. Lots of Bots. The old momentum is dying (the big conferences). Relay/client software/servers haven't received meaningful updates. And it's a huge money pit for the people who are actually running relays and developing.

I disagree with this. Someone being deported is already there illegally. The underlying crime has already been committed. It’s like saying we’re going to vaccinate you while you’re already sick (using your analogy). The tattoos and their actions are aggravating circumstances after the fact. Ask yourself this: why aren’t their home countries welcoming their own citizens with open arms? 🤷
