  I don’t know, don’t Apple have a reasonable track record of pushing back against governments? I personally have even less faith in the security of android based devices or Android phone manufacturers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wishlist is an app which is not linked to a phone number, is multi platform and has a web app. It should be none US and open source. That isn’t too many requirements and yet nothing seems to full fit the bill? Anyway good luck trying to get school parent’s groups to use something other than WhatsApp.

  Take a look at Delta chat? I can’t find a fault with it yet…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨matrix is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is anyone else using Delta chat as an alternative? I can’t fault their idea of basing their chat app on the well established email system.

  Good thing I cancelled prime along with all my subscriptions and accounts with US companies just after Trump was elected.

  Abolish copper coins. Job done :-)

  The funny thing is only the UK plug design is any good, all others are so much worse they should just give up and go home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say dogshit, I would say the results are good enough for most purposes, not great, my priority just as the moment is dumping USA based companies and I thought Ecosia planting trees was a nice touch. Although as someone else pointed out it is still possibly using crawlers from google and bing in the background. I’m still keen to try out other search engines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped using Google at the same time I closed my accounts with Facebook, instagram, Reddit and Amazon. Currently I’m using Ecosia which I think is German. I’m dumping all the US companies I can based on all the Trump crap. It is taking time and effort but I should be able to actually close the Google account soon and I replaced windows with Linux on all but one of my PCs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Opensuse MicroOS on half a dozen PCs but I keep one on Windows until I can run Fortnite on Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mate, Linux is so simple my 70 year old dad can use it, I’m using opensuse (German) right now, but he is on Ubuntu (British) both are solid choices that a monkey could install and use.

  I’ve been closing all my US based accounts recently. I was looking for a non US based Password manager service a couple of days ago. I used european-alternatives.eu and looked at a couple of options before settling on “Heylogin” it is so good I thought I had better recommend it to others…
