Iunno if I would say that Signal can be trusted considering their ties to the US State Dept

2 programs I’ve been using for almost 20 years now:

www.foobar2000.org Media player https://www.slsknet.org/news/ Soulseek for music downloading

I just access through the web behind a vpn. I would hope it is common knowledge that installing apps or programs for stuff is less secure, but who knows what tech the five eyes/mossad have these days and I could be mistaken. there isn’t even anything illegal going on here anyways

hard disagree. had my headphone cord caught in so much shit over the years I don’t miss it at all and the mild annoyance of bluetooth pales in comparison.

I do dual boot linux on a laptop i have that is 10 years old (linux mint). I would consider myself ‘intermediate’ when it comes to knowledge of software and stuff, and I mostly find Linux pretty frustrating to use beyond simply browsing the web, it feels like there is always a byzantine process to do stuff that Windows can do easily without hassle. Not that I really like Windows at all. Otherwise, I’d use it all the time.
