Indeed! I get excited when it is Friday, but sad/empty when I have read the newsletter. And after a few minutes of sadness, I start counting down the days to next Friday again.

True regarding the battery life. I did find the calls to be working really well.

My replacement? I installed Snikket on my server. And if the calls doesn't work (haven't tried it yet), I might use MiroTalk for that.

I have used SimpleX Chat for a few months and the following made me switch to XMPP:

• It literally drains my battery on my Google Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. I had to charge my phone 1 time per day. Before and now after, I only need charge my phone 1 per 2 days.
• It is "impossible" for me to connect SimpleX Chat on Linux. Haven't tried on Windows because I don't use that shit due to privacy reasons.
• If you're in a voice call and goes back from the call to send something in the chat (like a picture), the call will end. You are not allowed to use the chat while you're in a call in SimpleX Chat.

If you're only interested in expenses, debts, loans, budget, and statistics, then Keizai is maybe something for you? Transactions is maybe on its way to the pile of features, too.

You can for an example add the height and the shape of a building when contributing to OSM. With this data, you can build 3D maps. It's really neat :)

Looks good. But I have to ask: why modernize such beautiful theme? The theme in Windows 2000 was even more beautiful, though, but Windows 98 have that nostalgic feeling.

Apparently yes 😃 Such joy! Didn't knew it either until I read about it here.

Arch users can install it through AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cromite-bin

I find Unexpected Keyboard's numbad awesome.

Since your post is in the privacy community, I have to say that I would never ever use any softwares from Microsoft for my own projects, not even open sourced and self-hosted ones. Everyone knows that Microsoft love to collect data and so do Google too, and Clarity uses Google Analytics.

Google Analytics is banned in some countries here in EU only because of the violation of ones privacy.

Apple and privacy does not come hand in hand.

Apple have their own eco system that are fully closed source. If you want to install apps from another place than from AppStore and if you don't live in EU, good luck.

If you want privacy, choose a custom ROM of Android that respects your privacy (like GrapheneOS) or (better yet) choose Linux. But to be honest, Android from Google (no custom ROM) do have better privacy options compared to iOS, mainly thanks to being able to installing and using apps with no Google account whatsoever.

And to answer your second question: Is your phone’s keyboard compromising your privacy?

Sorry, but I don't know how to get the logs and where to find the logs.

Multiple. I understand that many of you won't believe or just don't know about Microsoft's spying, but that's the reality. It can happen that I can have wrong with certain things (I'm only human, remember that), but Microsoft spying on you is the fact of why I now using Linux as my main operating system since 2015/2016.

• Disable Keylogger in Windows 11 to Stop Microsoft from Collecting Your Data
• Where does Windows 10 save Keyboard input?
• Windows 11 Keylogger: How to Detect & Disable it
• From a ex-employee at Microsoft: You won't believe what happens when I turn off Windows 10 telemetry! - @Barnacules
• Microsoft's own privacy policy page (hit "Learn more" under "Personal data we collect" and scroll down to the bullet list for "Interactions")

There is a lot more proof out there, but I can't think straight to be able to find them. So if you want to dig some more, by all means, do it.

Microsoft do the same with Windows and as far as I know, they haven't got fined for it.

I don't want to create a new account only for that. I want to preserve my privacy :) If they had their source code on Codeberg, I would already posted that issue.

You're welcome :)

Yes, I have. I really liked it, but I didnt like that GitHub blocked me every now and then. I don't have any account there due to privacy reasons.

I somewhat don't mind outdated apps. It depends on what app it is. I wouldn't use Bitwarden if they stop develop their app, as of 1 example.

It always feels great :)

I would say KISS Launcher.

Yeah, links are very useful :) You're welcome.

Done :)
