  • On a similar note, a reason why you shouldn’t respond to spam/scam texts because it basically verifies you as an active phone number. Why waste man/bot power texting numbers that may or may not exist when a majority of your texts will at least be seen by a human which will probably boost their chance

    It’s why I tell my friends not to respond even tho some of their responses are really funny

    Some smarter ones I see usually range between 2-7 lines of text usually written as a time sensitive question that will affect the totally real persons social or work like

    One of my favorite ones was about 5 lines of text that was posed as a date

    It was like “Hey Kayla it’s Mike, some short sob story about dating life, hope our first date goes well, then nonsense about dating with an address thrown in

    However after the 5 lines it was in Arabic or some similar flowy characters and when I translated it continued “mikes” story about where he was from and how oh so sad his life was

    Tldr totally fishing for a pity “sorry wrong number” to see if my phone number would be seen by human

    +1 for proton drive

    I have the premium plan for and vpn and password manager benifits and use it for college work, game back ups, and saving and sharing unhinged video game clips with friends

    I use libre office myself as well with proton drive so I can pull up all my .doc and .docx files on my iPhone (ik very privacy focused /s)

    Also the other user mentioned obsidian I like it too. I use more like OneNote kind of notes for my college classes be it typed or hand written (with the Excalidraw plugin)

    I set my obsidian save location to proton drive so I can hand write my notes in class then pull them up on my big monitor on my home computer

    Sometimes obsidian will cause proton drive to freakout due to obsidians auto save feature (nothing bad it’ll just stop syncing) so I just pause proton, do my thing in obsidian with it saving but not syncing, then just resume the sync

    Sometimes they’ll play nice together but other times not so idk¯\_(ツ)_/¯
