Nothing could be worse than an Electron client. Honestly for me it’s XMPP > Delta Chat > Matrix > SSignal/Telegram/etc. Matrix integrations (apps) don’t even work on any client and they moved the bloated server improvements into a walled garden

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard that client is lagging behind the others in terms of cryptography?

To be honest, Yandex’s proprietary services are irreplacable and significantly better than Google. Many more languages too.

True, first time I ran into catastrophic problems (caused by entering in commands I copied from online, knowing damn well it was a bad idea), I got annoyed having to fish out corrupted files and shit, but I realized that anytime something had gone wrong with Windows I had no tools to fix it and could only check in on a loading screen that lasts hours. It was a learning experience

Foldersync was my move before I switched to a custom ROM, it’s proprietary but reliable and not expensive.

PostmarketOS makes no claim that it is ready to be a daily driver, Linux phones are pretty experimental right now. That’s why there is so much tension over the custom ROMs that manage to function on such locked-down hardware

I had never read their forum threads on Fairphone and eOS until the other day. Makes me glad I ruled them out for other reasons.

Fairphone looks really bad after reading some of the GrapheneOS forum threads covering them. Calyx is still on hiatus over the security patch thing
