Int32

liberal used to mean anarchist!

yeah, just that I like the protocol design better. also GPG isn’t that great, so maybe sending files encrypted with ssh or age(or lxmf uri messages)

I agree that with linux, once you’re in, you’re in. there is virtualization but that’s annoying and slow, or ig you could not use internet(pretty much impossible) or very strict firewall rules, and then use some kind of proxy but that would not be a problem if it were hacked, and would resend the data but maybe fromna reader mode, which you could display with a minimalist browser.

I doubt openbsd supports the fp4, or even the pinephone.

that’s why I said ‘ideal’…

yeah, the solution is to use a provider which is not a company.

SS is a weird name but ok.

the year of the linux mobile has come!

what about more minimal office apps, like calligra?

what about cock.li or disroot, if you don’t like getting blackholed?

POP is better than IMAP, the emails get deleted from the servers.

the thing with proton is you don’t really know that they’re private and they pretty much always collaborate with the police and their android vpn app collects some data that it doesn’t need to. I would suggest you:

1. don’t use email, that’s the ideal solution
2. use a provider like cock.li and send messages encrypted with pgp. this isn’t ideal, pgp leaks a lot of data and cock.li gets sinkholed by most email providers.
3. use proton and encrypt emails with pgp, you have not much privacy but it’s less worse than microsoft and not much convenience loss, except that proton doesn’t allow email clients(at least if you don’t pay), I don’t know about ms).

yeah, sorry ig I misread.

I like XMPP, but there’s also LXMF(a bit more experimental, only for ‘advanced’ users) or simply signal or simplex.

whatsapp is a modified XMPP, itnmight be possible to make an XMPP client that can also use the whatsapp servers.

I would reccomend XMPP(with OMEMO), for android I reccomend the conversations client, but there are a lot of clients: https://xmpp.org/software/?platform=all-platforms I suggest you choose a client that fully supports OMEMO encryption.

check out https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/ and https://soatok.blog/2025/01/20/session-round-2/ . session doesn’t even have PFS(perfect forward secrecy), which can be very useful, so if a key is cracked, then only a few messages can be decrypted. EDIT: that was a lot of typos!

yeah, but the app only supports openai, you can’t just switch to a local ai.

so, GSI is just android with fast updates and the possibility to only have foss or have no apps? that’s not what I need, I want a system with microg or nothing instead of google services, only foss apps but ideally no apps preinstalled(that, GSI can do) and also privacy features like microphone and camera blocking. I think I’ll just use lineage, or install a real linux on it.

I don’t think you have the option to use something else.
