That's Costa

No worries. The situation I was describing is indeed absurd and defies reasonable expectations.

Ah, that's good then.

In Australia you really only need a name and date of birth and ID such as a passport or driving license number of the owner. No physical or even photographic proof. Some phone companies send the original sim a notification before moving it, but no response is required and moving the number often only takes 10~30mins.

Banks in Australia commonly use sms codes as 2fa.

A large percentage (20~30%?) of adult Australians have had their ID details leaked in recent years because there are no adequately enforced security requirements or data-retention limits. One of the largest breaches was the second largest mobile phone provider...

As in "Hi PhoneCompany, I'd like a mobile plan with you. Yes, I'd like to bring my old phone number over to the new account."

Or "Hi PhoneCompanySupport, I'm @thingsiplay and i lost my sim, plz send me a new one. BTW my new address is ..."

Ideally it shouldn't happen, but phone company security is pretty slack sometimes,

Swapping the sim associated with your phone number -- from your sim to their sim.

I use the vegemite knife on the butter.

Oh fuck yeah... never had it toasted before! Gotta try that some time.

Same. Otherwise it's dnscrypt on the router that's gone wonky.

It's a talking-head video presentation on a well-known video publishing website.

Given your browser couldn't show anything useful from that webpage, @kugmo@sh.itjust.works offered a solution: just feed the URL into mpv, which happens to be excellent at playing audio/video from web pages if you also have yt-dlp installed.

Siskin has been working well for some people I know on iPhone.

There used to be some settings you need to tweak, not sure how it is these days:

Monal has also been getting some regular development and is worth trying out.

Is there a goatse version?

Huh? Why not use K-9 or Fair Email?

They're both excellent email clients.

LineageOS still phones home to Google for most things.

Do you have a source on this? I thought LineageOS was completely de-googled now.
