Tuta is very good. Their CEO and the whole team seems very sensible. They're slow to release new products but I think that makes total sense for security and privacy focused company.

Firefox just rolled out process isolation on Android.

This is not going to change anything. Google decided to become a bully and they'll succeed.

It's all a result of hardware manufacturers not bothering to create a common open source Android fork and keep giving more power to Google. Now even Samsung cannot operate their App Store without every single app in their store signed by Google.

Well they can't do everything, can they?

What the hell are you talking about? We have standards almost for everything now. It's just ARM ecosystem messed up as it were on purpose.

Whats up with the obsession over credits cards in US? You guys don't have a savings account and debit card which actually shows your spending limits?

With apps, you can subscribe to channels, keep history, create playlist etc. Not possible with website.

Agreed. VM frontends are supposed to be powerful and feature-rich. Dumbing it down was one of the stupidest ideas, any such project could make.

The doctor isn't the problem here. They're simply trying to communicate in the most frictionless way possible. So do the billions of people. The real failure is our governments. They allow basic communication protocols to be privatized and monopolized rather than mandating open, federated standards.

While your statement was true regarding phone (and WhatsApp) being a lifestyle choice, it has become a critical requirement for participating in the society.

In India, every little thing now requires WhatsApp. Want to contact your doctor, lawyer or want to get receipt? Good luck if you don't have a smartphone and WhatsApp.

So not having WhatsApp is not a choice. Believe me. I have been running GrapheneOS, WhatsApp free. It is so hard.

This. Google would not be fucking us with Play Integrity and other DRM craps if Linus made the kernel GPLv3 licensed. It would have been a dreamland to have hackable phones, TVs and a whole lot of IoT devices where the users would be controlling them instead of other way around.

Agree. Using AI as a tool is very productive. On the other hand, letting AI drive everything is insanely time consuming and tiring work due to back & forth prompts.
