Similar experience. Thankfully, the link was not obscured in my case. However, I did not appreciate that it blocked every click even after quite a bit of time had passed. In my case, this happened just as I had opened a utility bill. First

To clarify: what I meant was that Durov is as untrustworthy as Telegram's marketing is deceptive. i.e., the defaults are not private and secure, therefore it's prudent to suspect that his claims are false re free speech, being unb

The things a user is able to do with a locked iOS device are so useless and going away with new updates that I've given up. I don't think a different voice module does anything here if it gets the same $swearword 'direct acce
