I'd like to be able to chat from an Android phone without a SIM card.

Edit: Since several people have mentioned it, I'm including this note at the top. There are security issues with using a temporary number to register even if it is not needed to maintain the account. Anyone can gain access to the number and use it for account recovery, etc. I'm not an infosec person at all, but this seems pretty obviously bad. Some services will work fine with a landline or other permanent phone number, as long as you retain private access to the number.

Edit 2: SimpleX turned out to be a good fit for me. It was fast and easy to set up, and simple for my family to use. I also like that it is self hostable if I need to set that up in the future. There are some excellent suggestions and useful discussions below, and I appreciate the help. I'll come back to this thread in the future if I need to switch

Hi, trying to setup a server myself. Following the instructions from join lemmy it seems pretty doable on docker on my vps. What drives me crazy though is the thumbnail behavior. External images show thumbnails, but images uploaded to my server just show the link arrow in the thumbnail view. When i look at my browser devtools it just shows the rounded thumbnail icon. Is this expected behavior or not? If not, anyone can give guidance on checks to perform for thumbnail creation for uploaded images?

Thx, flutser

OTTAWA - The federal government is suspending the planned export ban on single-use plastics due to tariffs and supply chain issues "creating significant pressure on the domestic economy."

The government launched a 70-day consultation about not moving forward with the single-use plastic export ban on Saturday through the Canada Gazette.

Why is he doing this?

NVIDIA has announced that starting January 1, 2026, each GeForce NOW cloud gaming subscription will be limited to 100 hours of play time per month. The company is implementing its long-lasting promise revealed in 2024, with the option for users to purchase additional play time as needed. Under the standard Performance tier, which costs $9.99 per month, after the 100-hour play time is reached, users can buy extra 15-hour blocks for $2.99 each. For the Ultimate tier, priced at $19.99 per month, additional 15-hour blocks are available for $5.99 each.

Since months are averaged to about 30.437 days, any play time exceeding the 100-hour limit is rounded up to the next 15-hour block, potentially leading to extra charge if someone wants more play time. For instance, playing around three hours per day (approximately 91 hours per month) remains within the base fee, but playing four hours daily (about 122 hours per month) results in extra costs of approximately $15.97 on the Performance tier or $31.97 on the Ultimate tier.

"Ah ha!" he smirks to himself, "I see you, Jeffrey."

cropped screenshot of a computer directory listing dumped email files, the highlighted one is a weekly subscription to a magazine

"Bingo. Treats! Magazine. Of course there's a fucking 'Treats' magazine and of course that filthy vapid motherfucker Epstein is subscribed to their news letter."

"I'm gonna get this. The scoop is mine."

Tipping forward his black felt Fedora, the hunched nerd finally straightens back into his chair, lower back collapsing into the lumbar support pad as he rolls his neck and shoulders, surprised to find the burn of built up lactic acid finally circulating out of his muscles.

Fuckin' dexadrine, he thinks as he absendmindedly starts kneading at a couple of familiar knots in his back. Fucking futile.

Three fingers of brown liquor, half gone before he's back at the keyboard. Fresh cigarette to his lips as finally he resumes sating his innate gumshoe curiousity. What stupid boomer shit are you and your fellow zillionaire treat enthusiasts treating yourselves to anyway? Probably some disappointingly prosaic shit.

But it doesn't matter to him. This wretch and dozens (at least!) just like him live for the sweetest treat of all- finding out the mortifying treat indulgences of the rich and infamous so they can crack the same 6 jokes to each other and just smugly know.

See, the thing about power, is it doesn't buy taste. Not that taste matters to the amalgamation of spasming muscles, frayed nerves and bone. Nor should it, bougie standards of culture and aesthetics are worse than meaningless. What the fuck is this sad excuse for an investigator even doing with their life? It doesn't sound like praxis and it sure doesn't look like he's getting paid.

"Mmmm-mm!" The pitiful human slagheap rubs his hands together in anticipation then leans in.

"Can't wait to show the fellas THIS on Hexbear dot net. Haha, yes! haha"

Cursor drag. Click drag. An email client ingests the file and unfolds like delicate origami.

....a screenshot of an email mostly consisting of a digital magazine cover with five naked people posing on bicycles. censored.

"OH FOR FUCKSAKE. PORN? YOU ONE. DIMENSIONAL. PIECE. OF. SHIT ARE THESE CHILDREN OR AM I JUST FUCKING ANCIENT?"

I can't take this back to the Bear site he shakes his head slightly, sadly, nobody wants to see this. Ugh why didn't I expect porn?

He downs the remains of his drink, which he now knows with certainty that he does not deserve.

"Whelp, off to Hexbear."
