The Super User @sudo@librem.one

@RachaelAva1024 🤔 I don't think that's a fair assessment. It's true that WhatsApp does leave a lot of room for doubt, especially with its conflicting business model, but the encryption protocol they use has been vetted by Signal and is still recommended by EFF.

While #Signal, #Session and #Matrix are definitely way better options, #WhatsApp is still a better option than using plain #SMS. Having some security is better than none at all.

I have to say that I am a little disappointed with #LibremOne. It was once supposed to be a unified ecosystem of privacy-oriented services but now I feel it has fallen into obscurity and a general lack of maintenance.

Although it has been my gateway into the #Fediverse and #Matrix, I think it's now time for me to move on. I really hope @purism would be able to sort out the issues with this service because I honestly think it's a brilliant idea.

@Suzie97@mastodon.social I didn't even know about it until I saw your post. Thanks! 😄

@Suzie97@mastodon.social 🍕 😋

@techlore@mastodon.social I don't mind it either way. However, I do wish that the exact number of replies to a toot would be made visible.

Thanks to @gamingonlinux, I was able to switch to a self-hosted setup as my backup solution. #Syncthing is really amazing.

@Cheeseness I know right! I was also hoping that people being able to see that very thing would make an impact. It is quite disappointing indeed. Not to mention, the dumping of masks has created an even bigger issue now.

@Cheeseness It's not all bad news, though, as I heard some countries are switching to renewable energy sources in order to stop depending on Russian oil. 😄

I really hope this war ends, though. Every second it drags on is another 'giant leap' towards destroying our world in more ways than one. ☮️ 🌳

@Cheeseness I agree, but convincing everyone to do that is much difficult. Even trying to do that on a much smaller scale is extremely difficult and cumbersome. Taking dramatic action 'right now' is not really practical because of it.

It would take a serious shift in mentality to actually make any impactful change. Although we are beginning to see signs of it, it's not really moving fast enough. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war have only served to set us back even further. 😟

@Cheeseness It definitely is complex! We have really 'messed up' this planet. Is it even possible to restore it? 😧 🤔

@Cheeseness It's a great read. It really highlights the diversity among bee species and the lack of awareness around bumblebees, who are just as important to preserving the ecosystem.

@thelinuxEXP It seems someone at ZDNet watches your channel! 😁 They appear to have taken your advice on recommending 'desktops', not distros.

@Cheeseness You seem to be really interested in bees. Have you, by any chance, read 'A Sting in the Tale' (Dave Goulson)? 🐝

@downey I am just curious. Does that mean @omgubuntu can stay on that instance since they are not in violation of any rules? 🤔

@meelis @omgubuntu I just checked the link. That message can be interpreted in another way. The author might have actually meant to say 'stuff other than software' by 'unique interests'. In other words, discussions about 'software' might still be limited to FLOSS. If you also take into account the preceding sentence, there is good reason to believe so.

F.Y.I. This is my personal opinion and I am in no way affiliated with "FLOSS.social". I could be wrong about this. 😄
