DeltaChat is the less technical solution out there. People don’t even need to setup a password. Install the app, scan the QR of a contact (can be from a picture sent through another channel), start talking.

I use Fluffychat, it’s a nice app

Up to 4 GB based on this article (in French) https://rust.developpez.com/actu/388813/Discord-abandonne-son-application-Electron-basee-sur-le-framework-web-qui-peut-consommer-jusqu-a-4-Go-de-RAM-sous-Windows-11-la-nouvelle-version-reecrite-en-Rust-ne-consomme-quant-a-elle-que-290-Mo/

Sorry, I missed it.

I spend 10 minutes trying to find an article about that news, the only other option being the post by the Discord CTO on Twitter of all places.

I’ll see if there’s a genuine blog post about it now.

Edit: updated to Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM

Thank you for Uruky, having a look right now

Interesting, thanks for the writeup

Anybody here has recent experiences with Kagi? I just checked, and the 5$ plan with 300 searches still seems very limiting, not sure if I’m ready to pay 10$ per month for search

Thank you for this writeup!

DeltaChat is great!

I hope so, because otherwise they are going to be empty quite soon.

I will keep OpenSUSE for now. I expect to see similar layoff at RedHat and Canonical soon enough.

Not sure where the thumbnails come from to be honest, I didn’t add, and I don’t see it on the article…

Thanks for sharing

I made a switch a few months back!

Nice!

Local libraries are great!

Thank you for your feedback!

I’ll start with IVPN (based in Gibraltar, so I guess technically they are European). Straightforward approach, the thing just works.

I shortly wrote a bit more about it on !privacy@programming.dev: https://old.piefed.zip/post/1959962

Which made me discover that you can’t buy Monero in Europe, it’s delisted from most crypto platforms…
