Yes

And are you selfhosting and have them join you or how and where do they get their accounts? When the encryption keys don’t sync, who’s doing tech support?

I mean, my mother is 78. It’s all kind of challenging.

Better at connecting with the people in my life, the people that I want to stay in touch with on a regular basis.

Why?

Your mom uses Matrix? You could set up something with random people you just met? Because we’re at that stage with Signal. It’s private and convenient. If I want to have some soort of anonimity I’ll use different platforms, indeed.

My contact coulds find me by phone number. I changes my status on WhatsApp and half of the regular contacts decided to use Signal. If I want to use SimpleX I would have to invite them all and just hope they’ll adopt.

I don’t need my phone number to be private. I want my communication to be private.

They offer encrypted messaging, not anonimity. They offer a way to keep your conversations private. It’s not an opsec tool, it’s not a tool to be used by the military. It’s a platform for regular people that don’t want to get spyed on or don’t want their conversations to be used agains them when legislation changes.

Globally? Have they read GDPR?

So, i don’t need much from a launcher but gestures, custom icons and folders have been apart of my smartphone for so many year they’re a must.

Edge? Is that the app I used to install LibreWolf?

Yes, by name. And that name has to be verified. They know everything else by default.

Ask them to hand over their unlocked phone so you can read their messaged.

Every EU phone number has to be connected to an identifiable person or company.

That’s crap. They’ve loaded their stock on a certain price and they want to surf the high wave while they can.

It’s not the ID. It’s the implementation. I do like the Belgian implementation… It’s been nearly 10 years now and it seems to be pretty secure and trustworthy.

The west, the east, the north, the south… Wherever you build your reactor it will overshoot its estimated budget and wil be overshadowed by renewables.

But yes, there are many variables and the answer always lies in differentiating.

Hydro energy to the rescue.

Of course. Renewable blows nuclear out of orbit when it comes to price. Nuclear plants take decades to build and are generally a lot more expensive than estimated.

Not really. I was scammed for a few hundreds of euro’s last year. I knew the company, I knew the account but the bank was incapable of reacting because of ‘reasons’. They know where the money went but they can’t follow where it got transferred to. So they can only follow one transaction and after that it’s gone. (Except when you get a court order)
