I would agree if you had said Mint or Debian, but a Windows user trying GNU/Linux isn’t going to have an easy time installing and maintaining Arch.

No pitbull island pls

Wouldn’t that sort of material also double the frequency of any other light source? Like a street lamp or the sun?

Well, that is fair, also simplex has some serious bugs which I don’t mind because I value freedom, security and privacy over reliability, but sometimes the app just stops receiving messages until restarted and I need to message them via other means telling them to restart the app.

Simplex is really easy to install and use, unfortunately it’s still kinda buggy, specially with public relays, I personally don’t mind buggy, I’m willing to make sacrifices for the same of freedom and privacy.

I just keep a second chat app as a failback so I can send them a message saying “ur simplex broke again, pls restart”

Xmpp has been stable for decades, tho I guess otr/omemo is hard for family to install, also doesn’t support e2ee calls (or rather, it does, but it’s complicated). But I haven’t used xmpp in a long time.

My personal experience is that if I can convince someone to install signal I can also convince them to install simplex, the process is the same. If I can’t then they aren’t going to use anything but the popular spyware anyway.

Simplex, xmpp, deltachat, briar, matrix, even session.

Anything is better than signal that relies on a centralised proprietary server and requires a phone number.

I’m sure Linux has something for that too, but I don’t know what it is

“Hey Linux, can you just delete this file please?”

“Sure thing bud, a program is using it, it’s ok, I will just unlink the inode anyway, the program can still access it until it closes the file”
