Signal should work, at least through my experience. It would also serve as a chat and stories alternative.

Just a note, but there are many many more invidious instances.

Is TeleGuard libre software? If it’s not, which seems to be the case… Then NOBODY knows what TeleGuard does (aside from certain company members of course).

I would run in the other direction.

We are already flooded with Chinese goods and nobody has cared about it for many years.

Absolutely disgusting.

I really enjoyed my teenage years with Call Of Duty, but I will never carry a gun. Let’s keep these in videogames, please.

I wouldn’t honestly pay for an email service that does not allow for PGP encryption. Go for mailbox.org or posteo for true standard-respecting emails.

What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat “just works”, and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.

But yes, I wouldn’t mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won’t be in a long while), so let’s try to mobilize people to Signal.

DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.

Because if you pay, you can have as many Proton accounts as you please.

I actually enjoy listening to podcasts on PipePipe (YouTube client) so ads get autoskipped with SponsorBlock.

If you are not using SearXNG you are missing out!

Arch Linux?

Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It’s a libre version of the same thing.

Album art shows up for me no problem on VLC

Old reliable VLC for all media.

Tutanota is also german, if I am not mistaken.

If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.

Did you guys know Firefox is still libre software? 😱 Like, all data usage is verifiable 🤯, and you can easily configure it so it doesn’t call home… Right? 🥵

Every couple of months there is an alarmist trend to kill Firefox, and then it turns out Firefox stays as the big libre option that respects your privacy and fights for freedom.

I am not saying they will never fail. But they haven’t so far. And that’s what matters.

Yessss, thank you. What a boring movie with boring asshole characters.

Obviously they are negotiating who gets which ukranian natural resources. USA and Russia, like always, divide the cake between themselves, while Ukraine and the rest of the world realise these bastards will always be the same imperialist assholes.

Trump’s administration don’t even lie about this. They have explicitly said that’s the whole issue. I hate their policies, but you gotta acknowledge the honesty.
