There might be some changes that could improve it further:

~~Remove Brave~~
~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
~~Add GrapheneOS~~
Maybe add Delta chat
~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
~~Add aurora~~
~~Add SearxNG~~
Add SimpleX
Add lichess
Add pCloud

Any other suggestions?

              No encryption by default (you have to start a secret chat to have end-to-end encrypted communication).
No encryption for group chats and there is no option for secret group chats.
They store all your chat history on their server and have the keys to decrypt it at any time.
They have a pretty shitty support, if you need to report a bug or something, you can't easily do that.
They have a broken testing process for new features, may be pushed to streamline without making sure those work properly. I don't use it as my main communication app but even with rare occasions -  the app crashes way too often.

Ah okay. I mainly use it for file transfer between my devices. Is there a better way i could be doing that that you know of?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

LocalSend is a good tool for sharing files between devices. It is more of a AirDrop alternative.
