Not sure why would it be better. EU provides strict personal data regulations guarantees

And it is not straightforward to become arch maintainer. There has to be a level of trust in that person. The team shouldn’t be too big to manage. And there are other considerations too.

Vivaldi still going strong

Use btrfs with snapshots. Verify you know how to boot into snapshot after a failed update and repair the system. This is the most important thing and lets you experiment much more freely.

Given the track record of blue sky and pixelfed, I would out my money on pixelfed.

Not a meme.

I am doubtful about the agency of the commenters here. Does not seem natural, more like a group of bots / paid russian trolls.

It doesn’t. Russians are still free to use and contribute to Linux development. Just a few people lost their maintainer rights.

The fork has no hope of survival. Are you telling me Russia's Ministry of Digital Development can maintain a project of this size? lol, rofl even.

Although I value privacy, I value sustainability more. Choose an option you feel most comfortable with, option which puts the least burden on your shoulders.

I can use bitwarden on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, on desktop app or using CLI. That’s a stark difference in comparison with built in Microsoft or Apple keychains. And yes, I trust Bitwarden.

My thoughts exactly. I use Bitwarden and passkeys sync flawlessly between my devices. Password managers tied to a a device or ecosystem are stupid and people shouldn’t use them. This is true whether you use passwords or passkeys.

That said, we cannot blame users for bad UX that some platforms and some devs provide.

So what? The law enforcement knows you have an account and knows the sign up date and last login. That doesn’t affect your privacy whatsoever. Besides, Europe isn’t a monolith. You can absolutely buy and use a SIM card without disclosing your name in some countries.

They have published requests from the law enforcement and their responses to these requests. The only unencrypted data they have is the phone number, a date of sign up and a date of the last login. That is it, everything else is encrypted and they cannot access it whatsoever.

The phone number is not connected to the messages. That’s the only thing they have. It is the best app for privacy.

They have bigger issues than piracy, e.g. csam, malware, and other criminal activity. But the age of no moderation whatsoever is over it seems.

You are right, op uses the term incorrectly.

They don’t need physical access (hold the device in their hand), they just need a command execution, which is a much lower bar. I expect some defence in depth for an application that holds some of the most private information there is about me.
