According to the Gitlab repo for the Android transition layer, yes.

I haven’t had great success, it causes more problems than it is worth if you aren’t willing and knowledgeable to troubleshoot any finicky behavior. The nvidia drivers just end up causing a headache. I would never recommend anyone buy an nvidia GPU if they dont have a specific requirement like run local AI/LLMs using CUDA or raytracing (I guess). AMD can also run local LLMs using ROCm, just not supported for 5000 series or lower.

The only Linux distro I (and my friends) have had any success with nvidia GPUs is Bazzite/Aurora. Bazzite is gaming focused and has special nvidia OS images.

AMD is easier to use with Linux. Get a rx6700xt or greater.

Some/most places outside the USA heavily rely on WhatsApp for communication. This is like saying “you dont need to be able to talk with your friends, family, or employer”

You can give a Flatpak the necessary permissions to modify disks. All the permissions needed by Veracrypt could be granted.

That is usually referred to as “source available” and doesnt fall into the category of open source.

The Signal server is centralized, but it is also still open source under the AGPL license: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

Cool, I like it more now.

If you have friends, “Never Split the Party” is a fun random dungeon-crawler game where each party member (4p coop) has an aspect of the game user interface like health or the map. If you split up you lose that UI. (ive never played binding of Issac but it seems like similar genre)

Why not Codeberg, cus its FOSS and run by a donation-funded nonprofit.

I dont think so. It would just require some ports open.

I do agree that generally when we refer to the fediverse, we mean ActivityPub federation. I also just wanted to point out that ActivityPub is not synonymous with fediverse.

It is federated, just with other Matrix protocol servers. Just like how email is federated.

Element is default E2EE for 1-to-1 direct messaging. Rooms require setting up encryption.

Chrono from f-droid is the perfect clock app. Good UI, all the features you’d need, no internet permission.

In my experience, room encryption is opt-in and permanent for a room.

• AGPL-only is a license, I didn’t want to misrepresent the license by being general. I was just trying to say that it is surprising that a fully open source application like signal has a large user base.
• PFS isnt enabled by default for group chats and generally feels messy as the end user to deal with. I was unaware that they have properly implemented it for group chats as well.
• My point about metadata still stands. Matrix still does not protect metadata (one eg: reactions to messages are in unencrypted).

Matrix doesn’t protect metadata, which is arguably just as (if not more) important than message data. Signal by contrast does protect metadata and proper implements Perfect Forward Secrecy for all chats. I do think Signal’s centralized design and phone number requirements problematic, but Signal still has many merits. Such as its massive user base for a AGPL-only project.
