Yeah, nowadays the only you might notice the difference between processors is in the camera. How fast it processes and how able it is to film in 4k (or not), and of course in games.

My Moto (midrange) phone is plenty fast for daily task while the battery last at least for 2 days with my usecase. But it can’t film in 4k (I couldn’t care less), because of the limitations of the CPU. I do value battery life though and don’t game on it.

However, as the OS is bareboned with little bloatware, its very snappy. Moto phones are also a safe bet if you want a phone that just works all the time, every time, things like the fingerprint scanner.

Oh, and did I mention it cost half what a galaxy phone costs?

It’s all virtual nipples now /s

Shit!

I came here to say AI, which I’m not allowed to.

Correct you are sir.

Have they not heard of selfhosting?

I’m in the same boat.

Have the 3600 with a 1050ti (!), and its does a good job when I play the 2-3 games I like to play. 32gb for my apps and docker containers. Plenty.

I see no reason to upgrade.

It has always been like this for me. Sticked to a platform until it died and never upgraded (OK ram maybe) until I was forced to.

What is 16kb?

Cromite.

Snappier than anything else (With real dark mode, adblocker, anti fingerprint and great security).

Never could get used to Firefox on mobile how hard I try.

On Desktop, it’s Linux with Librewolf.

And thanks to their Signal connection graph, the government can easily tell what other people they communicate privately with.

So what? I’m sure your neighbor couple talk privately to each other most of the time and you know that happens. The important part is that the conversation is private.

Signal is not an anonymous messenger app. It never claimed to be. It’s for you to have a private conversation where your device holds the encryption keys.

Not like WhatsApp, where Meta has access to the keys of all conversations. Also 95 % of the worlds population is on WhatsApp, so why don’t you go and complain to them for lack of privacy and security?

If you want an “anonymous” chat client they are out there to use. Good luck getting more people onboard other than your savy friend.

Well, they partly took that “feature” away because people thought they were sending encrypted SMS messages which is not true. False sense of security.

They just took the secure high road and ditched SMS. It also made the app leaner with a smaller attack surface.

I think they did the right decision. Signal is the secure choice for the masses.

Having said that, I’m using Molly-Foss as it has less footprints, no Google messaging framework, leaner than Signal, with no crypto payment, and an encrypted database at rest.

I’m a PC, you’re a MAC

More importantly, Meta also has the encryption keys of any WhatsApp conversation.

It’s like a fucking META password manager that unlocks your vault… (…as in your WhatsApp conversations) and locks it when they are done spying, whenever they feel like. Repeatedly.

You have no control, as in a secure private conversation unless you have the keys on your device.
