Check out LocalSend. App that let you send things over local WiFi. No server required.

Mostly their marketing practices. They are designed well but mostly designed to keep you locked in one way or another.

For me, their desktop is not as intuitive as people make it seem and lacks simple shortcuts that most other desktops have.

On mobile, its the restriction of customization and options. They are getting better at customizing but still limit you on options for anything outside of their apps. They claim to be private but follow similar practices as other companies, just in a more quite way with better PR.

Yes, it seems to break on Linux. Only got it working by spoofing the browser on a chrome based one to think I’m on windows.

On top of this, use products that are more privacy conscience, as in they take it more serious, such as an email provider.

No. Just in case I forget to remove the information if I post it anywhere.

AI doesn’t automatically equal not private. Its probably still has private as it was before.

Now if it starts showing it knows things about you, then I’ll be concerned.

The article doesn’t mention anything on “crypto-powered”. Just that it will allow crypto-based games.

Won’t be surprised if crypto is more engraved into it since there are crypto based investors involved.

You have to look in the Izzy repo.

Use any exchange that only needs a wallet then trade the token for bitcoin. The real issue is switching cash to coin.

Unfortunately you probably won’t find any place to really buy it anonymously. If you have some crypto already you can buy some but without it, you will have to go through some broker.

In the US, know your customer is a big thing so you have to ID yourself before you can buy from the more legitimate companies.

You are probably correct. Didn’t check the repo.

Check out HeliBoard on f-droid.

Yes to google maps if you have the play services activated.

No to pay/wallet.

Yes to Android Auto as of recently. The grapheneos team just released a implementation of it.

Also both require an account to download anything, from their stores.

Collabora Office, but it can lag at times.

My first, I’m pretty sure, was Ubuntu but for playing around with.

My first one that I stayed with and kept as an actually OS was PopOS. Haven’t changed since. Works well and does what I need. Can’t wait to see what Cosmic has in store.

As for what made me go to Linux. Windows was cumbersome to program in. Had to use another app to run command lines, putty. Used Linux terminals before and knew that it was easier to run programs from command line so I decided to give the desktop a try. So much better! Ended up keeping Linux because it was faster, more clean, and I was able to accomplish majority of the tasks I used windows for. For the things that don’t work on Linux, I have other devices for.

Yes, but its not supported on everything. I use Yubikeys since they support more interaction types. I personally use them to lock my more important things when I can. Like my password vault, financial sites, emails, accounts, etc.

For the accounts that are whatever, less important I use OTP. You can also store a limited amount of OTP tokens on the Yubikey and use their open source software to view the codes.

ALWAYS buy a backup if you do end up locking accounts with it, just in case you lose it. It is more secure than having a code saved digitally as you need the physical key to unlock things.
