That’s why Facebook were able to buy Instagram and WhatsApp without issue.

This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.

I think I’m sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Have Facebook not heard of the Internet? Anyone can right click save as.

I am very skeptical that Facebook is doing federated to be nice, only to keep digital markets act off Facebooks back.

Networking effect

Mastodon required people to join a server which made out to people who are used to signing up to a single website for the past 20 years or such, seam too complex.

You also end up in a situation where social media managers have to reach engagement and impression targets and don’t think which is best platform that will not be taken over Elon musk or Mark Zuckerberg style, but which will reach engagement targets the quickest.

Not possible

However as you are in the EU, Facebook have to add 3rd party support to whatsapp. So that people on whatsapp can still message users who are not on whatsapp. Later in the future, group support will be added.

No time frame of when it goes live.

This has been my worry that some big tech company buys it out. There is latitude and longitude. But its not as easy to remember.

There is watomatic which does exactly this. You can select messenger/WhatsApp and when one reply or messages you. It auto responds with whatever text you want.

Thunderbird is very nice and lightweight compared with outlook. Picks up email settings more quicker and is much simpler to use than outlook. Recommended to all my clients.

What’s stopping someone from enabling debug mode, downloading adb tools and running pm uninstall --user0 then the package name? Surely with the app removed, the app can’t brick your phone. Or running a custom rom like lineage or graphine os?

Especially 3D objects

GETTING FROM THERE TO HERE

DON’T HOLD BACK!

I did a look into this. softmaker is best when it comes to compatibility of displaying files. Wps office is ok, but some text would be on top of others. I did find that there is a free version of softmaker, which should be ok.

Computer, load programe Big Lebowski with the Jesus as bowling opponent.

Why did the borg go back in time to the 2060s? Why not go back in time 2023, when people are dealing with the cost of living and lack or access to basic essentials. The borg would enslave those they want to and prevent first contact.

Says signal sucks without actually trying it. Just create a group chat put a link in, job done

Sulu, Travis, Tom Paris, get my vote

I think it’s worth it.

Just simply send a link along with that’s generally better and that lots of people are moving over. Watomatic could be looked into as a way to automatically remind people you are on signal when they go to Facebook you. It would then prompt then to install signal.

I take the attitude if they want to contact me either, phone, email or text.

I use lucky backup to mirror to external drive. And I also use Duplicacy to back up 2 other separate drives at the same time. Have a read on the data hoarder wiki on backups.

There are none. As its Facebook.

You are better of inviting them to Signal. If they know how to use WhatsApp, then they know how to use Signal. It’s designed to be as easy as possible, while secure and private.
