I second EndeavourOS. It’s so good!

They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).

XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.

Because Signal does not fully respect your privacy.

HopToDesk. https://hoptodesk.com

It’s a fork of RustDesk.

It is very important to mention that you mean end-to-end encryption. The data is stored encrypted when using cloud chat. Nothing (besides phone number what I know) is stored in plain text on Telegram’s servers.

I am not defending Telegram. I am just stating facts.

2 very good reasons: privacy and Big Tech.

Indeed. Far the best camera for Android I’ve ever used. Kinda addicted to the timestamp/watermark/something, though, haha! Mighty good feature!

I use Open Camera and the quality is very good. Especially the night mode! What you see with your eyes in a dark room with the TV on, that’s what you will see in the photo. Not the same quality on the TV in the photo, of course, but very close.

Linux on all my computers and GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 6a with 99.8% FOSS applications. Maybe 96% FOSS softwares on my stationary computer and 100% on my laptops.

Wait, what?! You can self-host Signal? Please send me a guide!

Indeed. Their knowledge and detailed articles are pure gold!

Vaultwarden, linkding, Snikket, Miniflux, and some more.

• Your IP address should always be private even if it is good with IP bans. But IP bans do not fix the issue if it is not a static IP address that the users always has.
• Exactly :)
• Yepp! But they do log it anyway. So the question is why do the log this data? To build a better service? Might be, yes, but it would be much better if they let their users to choose if they want to share this information. Not log it automatically behind their backs (many do not read privacy policies).
• I understand that, but they should not force users to enter their phone number. They should instead come up with another solution like require more CAPTCHA’s. Phone numbers is “the best” solution, but should not be standard.

XMPP with OMEMO.

• Nope. Not everywhere.
• The actual data is stored in plain text. The hard drive is encrypted. This is called encryption at-rest which Discord uses. Even Google uses this for Google Drive. Hackers “can’t” access the data, but the people working there can. It doesn’t matter if they have fancy roles, your personal data can be access by the people at the company. Your personal data should always stay personal.
• No cookies. Stored on their servers.
• I was forced to enter my phone number before I got as privacy aware as I am today. I doubt that has changed.

Why not Mumble and IRC or XMPP?

• Your IP address will be logged as soon as you login.
• They store everything you send in plain text on an encrypted storage unit.
• They store if your microphone and/or camera is on or off + more of what settings you have made in your own device.
• They force you to give them your phone number in order to identify you.

Discord is a privacy nightmare, but not as much as for an example Spotify. Spotify even logs how you hold your device and how fast you move it! Source: https://www.spotify.com/uk/legal/privacy-policy/

What accepting cookies popup? I don’t get such thing in Privacy Browser1.

Very nice :) Me like! But the bug is still there when you have clicked on a trail on the home page. The page just scrolls up to the top and you have to update the page to see the trail.

I tried Wanderer few days ago and I did find it very nice, yet quite buggy.

I was forced to update the page a second time before being able to do something, for an example using the menu.

But other than that, I find Wanderer very nice! Just miss seeing mainly how fast I was travelled in km/h. The statistics and details provided in workout-tracker1 is absolutely amazing! If you add such details into your project, that would be awesome!
