I read Molly is forked from Signal. Can I message Signal users from Molly, or do all parties need Molly?

It’s not too difficult to establish a Signal account from a burner number from a prepaid sim card. I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.

I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren’t already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren’t hiding their number anyway.

I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option then park it. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.

So easy to setup my tech illiterate parents could do it.

I don’t recall what kind of car it was, but there was one that saved the phone number associated with any phone that connected via Bluetooth.

While I don’t think it’s likely as a way to trick people to connecting to get their phone number, it was a rental car which opened them up to impersonation scams. Knowing they just rented from the company and where in the city provides quite a bit of information on you.

But does this account for our days getting longer?

I used to use Mullvad but now I use a different service, but especially like to support open source products.

My go to solution.

Not that I’m aware of. A basic search didn’t turn up anything promising.

I recommend using Privacy.com to create virtual credit cards that withdraw directly from a bank account. I see it as a VPN for credit card purchases. For US customers only, but obscures payment info to merchants.

You can use a bogus name and address for the merchant billing information (in this case Google Play).

The ice melts on its own. Staring while it melts is inconsequential but makes it a dad joke.
