    Ragnar the Red is the name of a Nordic song, popular in Skyrim.

    Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red,

    Who came riding to Whiterun from old Rorikstead

    And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade,

    As he told of bold battles and gold he had made.

    But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red,

    When he met the shield-maiden Matilda, who said;

    "Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead,

    Now I think it’s high time that you lie down and bleed!"

    And so then came clashing and slashing of steel,

    As the brave lass Matilda charged in, full of zeal.

    And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more-

    When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!

    It’s not too difficult to establish a Signal account from a burner number from a prepaid sim card. I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.



  • SparkegatoPrivacy@lemmy.mlAny good Telegram alternative?

    I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren’t already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren’t hiding their number anyway.

    I don’t recall what kind of car it was, but there was one that saved the phone number associated with any phone that connected via Bluetooth.

    While I don’t think it’s likely as a way to trick people to connecting to get their phone number, it was a rental car which opened them up to impersonation scams. Knowing they just rented from the company and where in the city provides quite a bit of information on you.
