The open source client doesn't mean jack shit dude. Telegram also has open source client. Your data lives on their servers not clients and also, even if the server code is open source, there are many ways for a backdoor and violations of privacy in the infrastructure. When you give up your phone number, there is no privacy.

Matrix is great, you can use another instance though.

Signal is most likely a fed honeypot.

They are super shady, blocked some important security researchers that found a vulnerability from them on all platforms, and they offer no explanation on why using a phone number is MANDATORY for signup.

No reason to trust signal IMO.

We test on humans

Now I understand why we men love all these things. They last forever and for some reason this really appeals to men.

Just search IBM IoT and look at IBM acquisitions in the last decade.

Everyone "used to work for that company" on the internet. And even if you used to work there it doesn't mean you know anything about their business. IBM is more of a Holding now. Like Volkswagen. Just because someone works at audi it doesn't mean they know anything about Lamborghini.

SystemD works great, but the corporations and politics behind it will ruin Linux if they fully take over. They are already optimizing heavily for IoT just because IBM is heavily focused on IoT

Hey my beard is far from gray 😁 Thank you.

Thanks. It's pretty effortless with nitrogen

Ah ok. I thought there might be a generic soluction like AOSP and it just works with some minor tweaks. Thanks

That's so cool thanks!

I forgot to mention, I am using lineageOS with no google/Gapps.

How can I use it like my Linux comluter?

One of the worst news I've read lately.

Why aren't Israeli maintainers removed? Oh because linux is basically owned by IBM now.

The linux kernel isn't free anymore. It's open source, but not free.

It's good for new, unrelated stuff. For example if you're just starting to work with python, or just want to test some project, its much easier to setup than nvim or emacs. I also like intellij idea. I think in terms of just works, it is much better. But it is more resource intensive

Unhinged behavior

Python has one of the worst syntaxes out there
