Taking away adb install should be the next step. It's a slippery slope

Stealing? They're freaking paying for it. If you're paying for 4 streams why the fuck do you care where they are streaming it them from? This is just a money grab for their shareholders pure and simple.

> the Flipper is an awesome device. I'm kinda sad to understand that its successor is Linux based

Anyone know where can I find more info on this "successor" I tried googling with no luck.

> whatsapp is not end-to-end encrypted.

Didn't they work with the Signal team for their e2e encryption of messages and calls? Are you saying that they've removed that despite showing the opposite at the beginning of of every new conversation?

I'm not sure about the subscription model. Everything is a subscription these days and I think it's a bad thing because if you've already made the icons then just set a fixed price. Made new icons? create a new version and charge for it.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I thought I was IP banned or something. It works when accessed with Edge (chromium)

*EDIT:* Looks like it's back up.

I think the comment you're replying to was being sarcastic.
