Unparsable in my client

“Community is not found”

Why would I discount the most popular applications of the kernel? That is almost the whole userbase

That is an entirely different argument which I did not contest and the comment I have answered to did not make

EDIT: Although, it depends on what we define as “bigger”. Binary size is certainly bigger, but user adoption is abysmal comparatively.

But what about Linux distributions compiled without GNU tools? Most popular Linux distribution’s kernel currently is compiled with Clang, not GCC, and as far as I am aware does not include anything from GNU. Of course Linux is historically influenced by GNU, but in current day and age they are orthogonal

It has built in package manager now (winget install Mozilla.Firefox would install Firefox on clean Win11 installation).

I see, good to know. I didn’t know about Tailscale so wasnt aware that it is a frontend for WireGuard. Although have to comment that ZeroTier is its own protocol

How is Tailscale different from ZeroTier in this setup?

I use Aurora set of apps for this purpose: Aurora Droid is a frontend for F-Droid, Aurora Store is a frontend for Play Market, both optionally use Aurora Service on the “backend” to update apps automatically (so you don’t tap through “install” popups)

Keep in mind I value convinience over privacy, but still am mindful about what I send where. Beeper server is not open source, but their bridges are (and encrypt messages before sending to server), and you are able to self host them, I saw in community chat room that some people do that for Signal, so everything is E2E encrypted on hardware under user control.

I recently started beta-testing Beeper. I was on the hunt/wait for a nice to use client that would be finally able to get all my messengers into a single window for a very very long time (when all my massaging was through XMPP, ICQ and Skype I used to use Trillian), and it is almost it: Telrgram, WhatsApp, SMS and Discord DMs/chat channels in a single app/window.
