Ah yes, the reason for our user agent hell :D

Not an "easy" way, but what I've been doing is simply whenever I handle an email in the account I want to switch from, I use that particular situation to change the email in the settings of the account of whatever I'm handling in that moment.

That way it doesn't become an overwhelming task, and if you are consistent with it and do it each time you handle an email, slowly but surely you will have switched completely.

I'm not sure how to argue with this except with "I have done this so many times and never received another answer". I had no friends.

The cynical side of me would say that he says this to have less competition in the future.

My empathetic side, which is much larger, agrees with you.

But, why not both?

No, actually, the answer will still be the "yes". However, what happens after is by no means guaranteed and I'll make no comments on.

I wonder why no one suggested yet to just go to a group that looks cool and say "hey, I've come here alone and want to meet people, would you mind if I join you?" and the answer will almost always be a resounding "yes" and you will be adopted.

"carbohydrates and other fats"? Did I not pay attention about carbohydrates in school?

Thank you a lot, this is great information!

You could read a bit about NAT, which your router does, if you want to know more. But yes, of course only the initiation requires an open port, otherwise like you said, it doesn't make sense. As soon as a connection is established your router knows where packets should be sent and an "open" port is not necessary.

This image somehow is such low quality on my device that I can't read any of the text on it.

I understand they have access to all this information you listed, but what do they gain from that if I don't use any (other) Facebook services? Normally, I understand that it allows for better ad targeting, but WhatsApp does not have ads, and if I don't use any other Meta services that actually serve ads, how could this info being out be a problem for me?

How do I know other browsers/messengers actually include the code that is published when they arrive on my phone? Wouldn't it be possible to simply add tracking/malicious code outside of the open-source repository, build an APK from it and put that on the Play Store instead of the "clean" code on the repository?
