What's the number on VPN purchases? ๐
My message to Telegram CEO: Open source your shit and we'll talk then about freedom and whatever marketing campaing you are on right now. Bye.

Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop?

You can skip that step. Not that it's okay, tho.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won't be in a long while), so let's try to mobilize people to Signal.
DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.
As a KDE fan, I don't use any of these "redundant" programs, unless there is a true benefit.
The thing is that, LibreOffice works and looks great in Plasma, and Calligra doesn't do anything special.
It's even more obvious for me with KTorrent. We already have qBitTorrent!
I absolutely like things like Neochat, tho, because in this case the "official" alternative is an annoying Electron app.

I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy ๐ .
Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.
Don't worry, they'll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.
As a small phone lover, here's the thing: we don't consume as many phones or as many services as (general) big phone people.
It's not only about the size of the community. It's that our phones are tools generally at our service and not the reverse.
Hopefully Linux phones are not so far away from usable in the next couple years.
Do you really think these years existed?
There is a big jump from letting someone do some swipes on your Tinder profile with your permission to forcing an unwanted marriage for third party gains.
For a second I thought they were launching their federated lemmy/kbin instance. With different communities, like "support", "bugs", "news"...
Would have been freaking awesome and a great use case for Lemmy and federarion.
Good for them anyway.

What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft... At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.
