Which just seems stupid. Smartphone is a computer. When you want to run something as administrator on Windows, it’s just a Yes/No prompt away, and Windows isn’t some small thing either.
This is a test account for testing out lemmy.

Sounds like Australia to me.


Aside from the 3 top right icons (probably) not showing correctly it seems to run. But I never used it, so I don’t know what to test in there.

Yeah, it’s… interesting. Especially with donations.
Apple takes a 30% cut, then Google does so as well from the remainder.
Feeling generous? Congrats, more than a half goes to corporations.


Also to note are regional pricing differences. Let’s for example compare US and Ukraine pricing:
| Plan | United States of America | Ukraine (converted to USD) | Ukraine (UAH) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student | $8.99 | ~$1.36 | ₴59 |
| Individual | $15.99 | ~$2.28 | ₴99 |
| Family | $26.99 | ~$3.43 | ₴149 |
Though I don’t know how much that would seem over there.
But anyway, I pay $1.99 for DNS (NextDNS), so $2.28 for streaming high quality video without ads? Sure, would seem fine.
I wonder how much cost difference there is on the Google side between the regions.


Almost all of the ads I see on the home page are of type “Hot ${GROUP} in your area.”
I also use that, and it’s just all over the place.
I’ve had issues with my carrier, so I just used foreign SIM in roaming for a while. €11 for 40GB is not that bad.
And then I found I can’t purchase a train ticket. For some reason, ZSSK (Slovakian passenger railway company) blocked IPs of Lifecell (Ukrainian MNO), but was fine with IP from RackNerd (Virginia).
Oh, and the university I am at blocks IPs from “3rd world countries”, the result of which was that Asburn, Virginia is fine, but somehow New York is a 3rd world country.
Their instructions say to use any EU-based VPN.
OneDrive uploads would only work for me over Mullvad without crashing.
I also had Reddit block Czech T-Mobile IPs.
