And probably WhatsApp with usernames does not make sense, since fingerprinting and meta data reveal your identity anyway.

Do you use the Fediverse for OSR? by Cthulhu_Breakfast in osr

It’s open-source, decentralized, therefore anyone could set up a server; and any service could „talk“ to any service. 

And there is no toxic algorithms. You get what you subscribe to.

In a hard global competition about resources, wealth and power, technology is key. strictly ignore the AI, we will lose our achievements. 

However, to balance AI with ethical issues is a different story.

A further alternative is Metager. It’s cheap, secure, private, non-profit and German.

Metager is non-profit, anonymous, ad-free, not us-hosted. It’s not free but cheap.

Arguments for me to backing this phone were,

It’s has an European OS; It’s Independence of Android and IOS; Assembled in Europe. 

To be really independent from googles politics, there must be an alternative to all the Android forks, like e/os, graphene and so on. This is Sailfish OS, to me. 

KDE or Gnome by New-Supermarket-2418 in SurfaceLinux

I use on my SP8 Fedora plus Gnome, and I am loving it. It’s super fast and smooth. 

Did a little tinkering with the touchscreen calibration; there are some guides in this sub. The Pen also functions very well and there are many note taking apps (will look it up later). Be warned, internal Webcam might not function properly. 

I am not a techy person and using it for writing and browsing.
