  • Well, uhh, these requirements. But idk.

    Yeah I've heard Arch is lightweight, but that might happen in like 5 years :D

  • Linux Mint is the easiest one from the list, but all of them except Solus are fine. I personally recommend Mint or Debian, Debian Sid if you want latest kernel.

    No, I don't really need it.

    KDE should work fine, maybe with a bit of tweaking?

    I thought about that too. If that doesn't work out, Xfce/LXDE/LXQT it is.

  • What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?

    Jump

  • I wrote this because I liked their services (because of their features) and wanted to know the community's opinion on them.I don't really remember how I found out about them, but I think it was an article or video.I wouldn't consider this thing I wrote "extensive", other than the Proton competitor stuff, I just listed some stuff on their website and some of my opinions.

  • Hmm, I see, my bad.They do encrypt the subject and recipient/sender's e-mails but they are not e2ee.Thanks for the correction.

  • That's a very big downside if you want to use them as your e-mail provider, yes.

  • you know, i kinda over-saturated the positives of skiff now that i read this thing again, it feels like an advert. But I am in no way affliated with Skiff, I haven't even signed up yet, I just listed their services and positives.

    I should have signed up and tested it for a bit, that's my bad, I apologize.

  • Proton Mail encrypts the content of the mails, not the subject. So even if it is a Proton Mail-to-Proton Mail conversation the subject is not encrypted. Skiff also encrypts the subject of the mail in a Skiff-to-skiff conversation.

  • Does your country have something similar to the GDPR?

    Jump

  • Yeah it's kind of useless. The apps you listed are available, but for example Newgrounds is banned.

    IDK about the second thing about the encrypted apps, but I would expect them to do it. But some people have been jailed for criticizing Erdogan.

    and IDK what place Turkey is, but yeah it has a very high number.

    Erdogan pls don't put me in jail

  • Is it (still) worth trying to switch my family and friends from WhatsApp to Signal? (Read all of it, please.)

    Jump

  • Yeah, they are in alot of websites. Buat now, even if you block trackers on your browser aggresively and use apps without fb tracking etc. etc. your data will still be collected by fb with this thing.

    One alternative is going offline :D

    I knew they were very data-hungry, but NOT THAT MUCH.

  • Well, Meta can still do their practices though. And I fear it will be even worse since they can know when you texted, who you texted, where you texted, for how long you texted in WA and i fear this will spread to other platforms too.

  • Hmm, yeah true. More people can take a look at the code, find vulnarabilities and fix it. Then it should be open-source too, since it would also be hard to bypass even if that happened. So there's not really an argument to not make it open-source.

  • I do not have the knowledge, time or money to set up my own servers for those sadly. And it would probably take time for my family to adjust to those.
