SSL on websites also is encryption. Still you can post your precious pictures "encrypted" via SSL for the whole world to see. I think everyone knew what was meant with encryption in this context.

SimpleX is great. BUT it's not user friendly. Thus general adoption for the average user will be hard. Don't get me wrong using the app itself is easy but as soon as someone switches their phone that doesn't have technical knowledge they will loose their chats because they won't understand the concept of moving their DB. Since you don't have an identifier like a phone number with SimpleX those people could even lose contacts as a whole since they generate a new DB, hurting their social connections.

That's the reason I personally never recommend SimpleX to anyone who doesn't have the technical knowledge to understand stuff like that.

The server / backend is not open source. Even though it's audited that's a red flag.

Signal can't see who is texting who. They can't see which groups you are part of. Those information are end to end encrypted, same as your chats itself, your profile picture, your stories, etc.

Signal doesn't store message timestamps either.

What Signal itself knows of you is your phone number, the timestamp of your registration, the timestamp of your last connection to the server. That's it.

Yes metadata is critical but Signal handles metadata very well. Indeed, even though I'm a fan of Matrix, better than Matrix. Matrix is a metadata nightmare due to it's centralized structure and the way the protocol works.

I'm currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it's running fine tbh

Yes, I have tested Logseq and even donate to them monthly. However I don't use it actively. Reason is that I just can't figure out a way to store my quotes and my opinion about them from books the same way I do it in Notion.

Basically I store my quotes like this:

Inside each quote I write my opinion or the summary of the quote in my own words, etc.

And then for the books I have it like this:

And inside each book I have the quotes linked:

So yeah I haven't found any way in Obsidian or Logseq to replicate this structure. It's always something simliar that's not working the same way and feels off and only with tweaks, custom CSS and stuff like that.

Bei mir waren die linke und Volt gleich auf am höchsten. Da ich Volt sehr gut finde, sie mir aber ein kleines bisschen zu kapitalistisch sind, werde ich vermutlich mit der linken sticken.

Android Auto is supported. Payments are the only thing holding me back currently. But that's not something the developers of GrapheneOS can change unfortunately.

Fully agree. That's also the main reason I am using Notion even though it's not FOSS, not encrypted etc.

I was fine using Obsidian (even though it's not FOSS either, but you own your data) but I can't figure out a good way to track books and quotes plus my opinion about them while querying them the same way it works in the database with Notion. Dataview is great for many things but doesn't have pagination etc.

For me Nextcloud AIO works. Still I don't like how "unstable" NC is. There's always something that does not work in any setup. Wish it was more stable or there would be a better alternative. For me it's videos. But only those that are MP4 and have their moov atom at the end of the file. They can't be played.

It's a headache. Set up Ente Photos just for that. Good side effect is that the images from my family and myself are stored E2EE encrypted on the self hosted Ente Photos instance.

Debian is awesome but only if you don't care about having the newest features and updates.

Some people say it's "evil" since some drama with RedHat or something? I actually never looked into that drama and it's probably overreaction of someone but has anyone heard of it or an idea what it's about?
