I’m absolutely still using teamspeak. Nice and light, and it let’s us run a soundboard plugin that let’s you have unlimited length audio clips. I just wish they’d update the plugin to support the 64-bit version.

Certain Samsung’s have Hiya integration for this kind of thing. In the dialler settings there might be an option for “Caller ID and Spam Protection”.

We have mandatory voting in Australia. It’s “enforced” by a AU$20 fine. Not really a true punishment, more like a nudge. It’s more of a societal understanding here, you turn up to a polling place as a civil duty. You can donkey vote if you want, you can draw a cock on the ballot form and invalidate it, doesn’t matter. As long as you got your name crossed off, and most importantly had the opportunity to vote, then you’re clear. I wouldn’t have it any other way, it means that there can’t be changes to dissuade people from voting, and politicians don’t resort to wildly populist policies to try and encourage people to come out to vote. Also helps that federal elections always occur on a Saturday, and employers are required to give time off in order to vote.

2FA is still available in the free tier, it’s just limited to TOTP and email code based 2FA. The paid teirs unlock additional methods like FIDO2 and yubikey protocols. Even if you don’t use the advanced 2FA methods or any of the other benefits, it’s still good to throw them a little money to keep them running.

I’m pretty new to all this, but I’m assuming that subscriptions are instance account specific. If there was a way to sync subscriptions between accounts in different instances then that would be good, but I’m finding that without subscriptions the default feeds are kind of all over the place.
