1. Download and install Shelter from FDroid

2. Set it up to use Android Work Profile

3. After setup, disable everything shown in the work profile except files (and contacts if present)

4. Download and install discord but DON'T OPEN IT

5. Go into Shelter and tap on discord

6. Select "Clone to Shelter"

7. Sign into discord

8. Hide the notifs saying discord doesn't work with play services (goolag trying to trick you)

If there is a captcha: Select "Having trouble?" and open in browser. This will allow you to properly sign in. Then try signing in from the app again

9. Profit

If Discord isn't working or there's a black screen: Install Bromite WebView via nanodroid. It's just an addon and won't overwrite your existing installation

Discord steps I did :
- No gapps nor microg nor magisk hide, bare Lineageos
- Login to discord in the phone browser, hopefully whitelisting the IP by doing this
- Cutting internet connexion
- Open discord, fill the login form
- Get back internet and quickly press login, Discord don't have time to "try to load the capchat", and login then crash
- try opening back the app a few time, hopefully it will be connected and you will end up with a fully working discord (minus push notifications ofc)

Chile picks Japan's trans-Pacific cable route in snub to China

Decision a blow to Huawei and Chinese telecom sector

TOKYO/SAO PAULO -- Chile has chosen a route proposed by Japan for the first fiber-optic cable to directly connect South America and the Asia-Pacific region, designating Australia and New Zealand as endpoints while stopping short of landing in China, Nikkei has learned.

Japan's route beat out a pitch by China that would have made Shanghai the final landing point. This decision comes amid a U.S. pressure campaign to keep China out of global telecommunication projects.

Under the Japanese proposal, the undersea fiber-optic cable would stretch roughly 13,000 km across the Pacific Ocean, pass through New Zealand then arrive at its terminus in Sydney. The Chilean government says this route is recommended the most based on cost and feasibility.

Japan and Australia just completed their own submarine cable linking the two countries this month, meaning Japan could easily connect to the trans-Pacific cable. Both Australia and New Zealand share deep ties with Chile through the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade deal that Japan has pushed for.

The Japanese proposal to Chile took into account Australia's hard-line position against China, exemplified by Canberra's decision to blacklist China's Huawei Technologies from its 5G infrastructure.

Chile was caught in the geopolitical crossfire as China, its largest trading partner, lobbied heavily for cable plan to have Shanghai as its terminus. When Chilean President Sebastian Pinera visited Beijing in April last year, Huawei pledged to invest in data centers in Chile.

Huawei initially emerged as the leading candidate for the undersea cable. But the South American country was unable to ignore U.S. intentions in diplomacy and trade.

SIGNATURE SPOOFING
See, all apps basicall call play services like, "Yo, package com.google.android.gms with signature x, I need this done".

So for microg to receive that message, microg:
a) needs to have the same package name (not a problem)
b) needs to have the same signature.

Since we have not stolen google's keys to sign the microg apk with the same signature as gapps yet, we add an extra feature in android that makes microg look like it has the play services signature. The app asks, "Hey android, is this really play services?" Android responds <crossing its fingers>, "Yeah, sure

____

Many ROMs already have sigspoof, but in some you may need to enable it manually, search "signature" or "spoof" in settings

In some roms it's here:
Settings > Apps > Advanced (gear icon) > App Permissions > Spoof package signature
Or
Settings > lab > misc > signature spoofing

Plusmessenger is a closed source Telegram app by an evil developer that made a malware WhatsApp Plus mod in the past

He tried to make people pay for WhatsApp Plus mod, and those that pirated it got their phone pictures deleted

He was banned in forums and threatened by lawyers and WhatsApp

Now he's not even complying the GPL license of Telegram and refuses to release the source code. He could be hiding malicious code in his apps, again.
