You could say that for everyone pushing for an encryption ban. If they use whatsapp, encryption, if they use https websites, encryption. Banning encryption is nigh impossible, it’s like trying to ban prime numbers. What they’ll actually do is get even easier backdoors and criminalise the masses that use it while still using it themselves.

Ooh I use apps that use the Magic Wormhole library. There’s a linux app for it called Warp and several android apps, all FOSS.

Signal is a nice suggestion but is based in the US meaning they could be subpoenaed and legally not allowed to say. It’s unlikely you’d be targeted though, unless you’re a very high-profile person. If you’re concerned about where servers are being run and who by then matrix is a great alternative.

vlang might fit your request pretty nicely. It’s a bit patchy in places but mainly stable and gets pretty frequent updates

I’ve not used it much but I’m pretty sure GNOME Boxes can be used as a UI for QEMU, KVM, and libvirt .

Another reminder that the Mozilla Foundation has no members and is controlled wholly by the board of directors for the Mozilla corp. https://hacktivis.me/articles/mozilla-foundation-has-no-members

I’ve been using Organic Maps a lot recently but I don’t drive so can’t comment on how good it is at that.

It’s all dependant on the community, if there’s missing data that you can add, please do! StreetComplete is a very acessible way to contribute

That’d make sense, given that they recently joined forces

I was the change I want to be in the world and have made [email protected], hopefully people use it 😅

I really want there to be a community for Dropout as I love their content but I haven’t found a good space to talk with others about them that doesn’t involve some corporation harvesting my data.

Telegram isn’t encrypted by default btw! If you want that, I’d recommend Matrix, Signal or WhatsApp (in that order imo)

Let’s all just be adults and start using Matrix

I’m surprised Magic Wormhole wasn’t on here. There’s a gnome app for it called Warp and several android apps, all FOSS.

Postmarket OS Here I come! Now just the problem of banking apps …
