Very good and true point well said I agree with you on that good thing I am not important enough for it to be a issue lol or do anything illegal.

According to signal facts all the have is your phone number and and the date you signed up for the service and the last day you connected to the server. IP address are not logged or stored the do t have access to it and signal has said this everytime the get a warrent for user data. So yes it is possible to have a secure service that doesn’t collect IP addresses but yes the do have some limited data so you are correct.

Ahh I see sorry miss understood

I see it

Questions why fuck capcom indont really play thier games what did the do?

Glad I don’t use any Google services and no apps on graphene OS then for my main computers I run Fedora silverblue with no Google once again.

That sucks my bank app doesn’t seem to rely on it for anything other than notifications and I can live without those.

Because I am trapped here and have to use current tech and you know I dont do off the grid! 🖖

I have a work gmail as well with works apps with Google Play but it’s in a work profile so separate from. Main so I understand that.

Thank you will look into $5 isn’t alot so will probably switch to it.

I use McDonalds App all the time on GOS this only affect you if you use Google Pay when checking out to my knowledge.

I think it has more to do with Matrix is kinda becoming the standard for secure open source messaging server but I do agree with you I would just use what works for you personally.

Let’s be honest year of Linux desktop won’t happen until more company’s sell computer with Linux already installed most people don’t install their own OS this is why Windows is so popular until that is fixed by preloading Linux on more systems I don’t think it’ll happen.

This only affects payments using nfc as graphene os certificate would not match Googles.

That’s why I run my own server can defederate or block instances that allow that instant block!

Yeah looking into all of this now I might move towards a invite only and keep groups community’s etc unencrypted and moderate them all. Or make community’s etc only allowed with admin approval. UPDATE: we are now invite only working on generating some invite codes if anyone is interested comment below.

Also because of this comment registration is temporary disabled while I disable rooms and spaces, and community’s so it will be messenger/group messages only. More limits may be imposed not sure yet still reading all the options in the docs. Also looking into other methods like disabling encryption on group chats if even possible to deter this.

Zero signups so far so no one really interested and kinda knew that mainly for personal use.
