Forks of Signal exist that remove the Google Play services build requirement, those are in F-Droid.

Like Molly. I use it and it’s great. I’m using the FOSS version.

You can even selfhost the push server.

Great choice of distro!

Troublefree for almost 2 years now on Tumbleweed.

Throw away that key and get another one with a pinguin instead ;)

In Firefox its just a flip of a button. Private DNS.

I think it uses Cloudflare by default when activated, but there are also others like quad9 9.9.9.9

Works for me on my desktop. Latest kernel. USB Bluetooth stick.

Might depend on the hardware.

Bluetooth seems to be some kind of black magic. Difficult to get right.

LMS is an awesome app. It’s a shame things like Navidrome gets all the attention when LMS is so much better.

Haha

I wouldn’t be so sure this time around.

The world is a big uncertainly and the force in Europe for digital sovereignty is something I never seen before.

The initiative to protect Europes boarders and data information is justified.

Well who knows?

I have no problem switching to an alternative is Cromite bellies-up tomorrow.

For now though I’ll stick with it.

The biggest problem is the scarce availability outside the US.

Or should I say, that the biggest problem is software (OS) compatibility with other devices than the Pixel?

My money is on the latter.

Why?

Cromite is excellent.

Too bad it’s chromium based, but works a whole lot smoother and snappier than Firefox based browsers, oh and safer as well… So for the time being, Cromite it is.

Librewolf on desktop Linux is my weapon of choise.

The app is in this curated list of great Android FOSS apps.

Ouch!

Pierced my heart, that one.

Show me a new phone technology that gives me 2 weeks of battery life betweens charges and I will start caring about smartphones again.

Yeah, Tumbleweed has a good track record with NVIDIA drivers in my experience. As with updates in general.

Although I still use X11 as Wayland still has graphical issues in some apps for me. Usually Flatpaks. That makes it unusable for me for the time being.

Edit: I have an older card (1050ti), so maybe I don’t get the latests drivers anymore?? On version 550.

Yes, Docker apps are more appropriate for servers and most apps are “made” to run 24/7 to serv the home or workplace.

They are very much worth the “work to setup” as they can be transfered/replicated to any system.

Flatpak and the alike are for running apps on a desktop/laptop.

That’s funny since Nextcloud is a bloated mess.

“Unreliable Backup” is probably the worse.

Wait, I have a better name. Duplicati!

You mean a nipple?

Criminals according to what standard ? In some countries, activism or sympathy with a cause is considered criminal behavior.

Exactly!

It is a slippery slope.

Even with services like Proton (big company in the privacy realm) etc, you can only fully trust yourself.

That’s why documents are always client side encrypted before I send my data, to any cloud platform.
