* Update

Simple mobile tools got sold to an ad-tracking company.

After that, all apps got forked to a privacy friendly group, Fossify apps, you may want to export your data and import it into the same Fossify app.

Always cheers me up.

Trisquel is an Ubuntu base, with all non-free and binary-blobs removed.

Any spyware, data harvesting, tracking, advertising, or hidden code has been removed.

This also means some hardware will not work under Trisquel, because that hardware relied on drivers which were a blob of unreadable code.

I think everyone running Linux should try an FSF endorsed distro, and have it as a general goal to move towards over time. The easy way, is to try it first on a LiveUSB or in a VM.

To really see these distros shine, they need to be used on hardware that has open-drivers available.

To find functional open-hardware, you can use the same hardware models that various online, libre, hardware-retailers are using, such as:

minifree.org

vikings.net

thinkpenguin.com

Or trawl through h-node.org to decipher what may work.

A second 100% libre laptop or box is a good idea for sensitive or personal content.

PipePipe can filter out short videos from search results too.

In my experience, yes, Jitsi was smoother.

This was in 2024.

Delta Chat

is an E2EE chat client that uses SMTP as underlying transport. Available on Linux, Android, MacOS, iOS, Wind.

Excellent and polished.

Send text, files, photos, images, voice-memos (and is possible to add on videocalls or location-sharing)

The email backend can be setup with a free account here:

Or by using your own email server.

Can also install JitsiMeet as the integrated video-chat client.

ArcaneChat is an alternative/expanded frontend client.

Look for ‘Highly Supported’ and the unlocked-padlock-icon.

Also had to get custom scrubs made, to fit his massive dong.

Backing up a copy of that config file, before editing it.

If you brick or break anything, rolling back to a working-state is much easier.

You can manually cp a 2nd version of the files, or there are tools to automatically backup for you.

The popcon package in Debian gives the same details IIRC.

New Zealand very smart, just skip Autism altogether.

Something with LXDE or XFCE Desktop Environment, that is usually the DE for low-spec distros.

Yes, not encrypted, straight cleartext SMS.

You could possible hack the code to add a strong crypto wrapper to the data stream.

Looks like SMSLoc can remote query the location of a friend, using SMS as a transport.

I have not tried this one.

It appears you can whitelist certain phone numbers to query your location.

DeltaChat(and ArcaneChat client) have a location sharing feature.

May only have a timeframe of 5min-6hours though.
