    Such a low quality post. I went to buy a chuwing gum and because they charged 10% more than last week I decided not to. And decided to write a blog post about it. And a Ted talk. Very interesting

    From what I understand the author was already using Telegram. To avoid this issue, you can install and set up Telegram Desktop before losing your phone and receive the activation code there when setting up your new phone.

    From an article they linked:

    > On Android, installing an older version of the Telegram app (specifically v.11.7.3) has been reported to bypass the issue

    Believable, Telegram is Discord 2.0 (or Skype 3.0) except they allow 3rd party clients for now and the official client isn't a bloated piece of garbage.

      Just because wages are high in SF, and your account was free to create, doesn't mean €1 isn't a barrier for someone in Kenya.

      > As of 2026, the minimum wage in Kenya for general domestic workers in major cities is KSh 16,113.75 per month. > KSh 16,113.75 is approximately €106.67 based on the current exchange rate.

        Still, why should be Telegram paying for this, when they offer the service for free?
