It recently was in the news for refusing to work on degoogled mobile OSes, and the website is not fully-functional compared to the app.

I am using Android until I can find an alternative

You mean you’re considering something like PostmarketOS? Just wonder where people are looking for alternatives.

I assumed that when it comes to SMS 2FA, simswapping is a threat much bigger than interception of the contents…

XMPP is very much a valid option nowadays too! Much easier and lighter to host than Matrix, too. I use it with my mom - Conversations is just as easy to use as Whatsapp, and maybe more pleasant.

It seems like where I live, RCS is not supported on all carriers (not on mine) - but most importantly, not on all phones. The one carrier that has it says it only works on certain Samsungs (I guess also Google Pixel, but they are not officially sold, even if not unpopular). So even though they’re not paid separately like SMS, I don’t think anyone would be switching to it from Whatsapp or Telegram.

I had some! It’s the rescue services warning you that the ice is starting to break and you shouldn’t walk on it.

Yeah, I am very much aware of this. However, I prefer not to trust the encryption that happens on their servers instead of my client, so I’d consider the non-e2e mail as fully open. As for bridge - indeed it solves the problem, but it’s exclusive to paid plans, which is not what I had experience with.

I mean depends on your location. Chances are it is fine for you.

I mean of course you can use mail and other services - but you’d need another VPN/proxy, which is what we’re used to. But I only wanted the VPN, and that is indeed unusable

Blocked by the government I mean. Inaccessible. Somene I know tried Stealth and it doesn’t seem to work either, at least on the free tier.

Yeah. Tried ProtonVPN before it was blocked, and hoped I’d also have another email address. But no, being unable to use it in my email client with all the other accounts made it unusable for me.

Yeah, that is a very valid option! I don’t like it when people not into collecting do it, though. Because it makes zero logical sense for a digital copy to be tied to a physical thing, unless you like the sentimental value of said physical thing as well.

I tried Vanadium when the install was fresh. The adblocking is just not that good… For example, on one of the sites it blocked the ads, but left out the giant HTML elements they used to be in.

I am not saying church isn’t far from God. I am saying that the whole concept of using AI for this is pretty offensive by itself.

Unless you build trust with the kid. So that if the child is having disturbing thoughts, you’d be the first person they’d find unconditional help from, and that in really bad cases - you’d help arranging professional therapy for them.

Source: worked on me.

Now that’s blasphemy.

You don’t have to upgrade the TV itself. If the TV cannot handle the new format on its own, external box is enough.

Most of what I download are webrips, though.

Now that’s the Technology community I like.

You can trust your own relatives or friends though - as long as you encrypt the drive you give them. Doesn’t have to be a service.
