Cool, especially more so on PWA.
But I’d still recommend having ironfox for general browsing & not throwing privacy to the window.
(You won’t believe it but, I just wrote a blog-size reply and accidently deleted it for trying to put it on a pastebin service…)
Don’t!
Your whatsapp session will expire over time & you gonna need to reinstall it on your phone.
Ether install whatsapp on private space or, if you feel adventurous, selfhost a Matrix-Whatsapp bridge.
Alternatively, convince your socials to use smh foss & more reliable,
Maybe telegram if they insist on mainstream,
It got a foss client but telegram doesn’t enable E2EE by default (Secret Chat).
"Casually reminds you that Ironfox exists & it’s a lot more “private” than most chromium-based browsers, & has ublock origin. (slow by default tho)
also while aurora store doesn’t verifies signatures, is has Exodus integrated which dynamically analyses & warns about spyware, tracks and telemetry so you more caucious about the littered “free” apps…
Well, how would an average streaming user benefit from using linux to begin with? Most streaming apps are avaliable on G-Play Store with DRM for the mass adoption of the platform on both Mobile & TV-Boxes and to “lower” any sort of software expoit to extract media; yet offical support for them on linux is mostly limited to chrome(ium) & firefox with drm enabled.
Yes, anything amazon gonna do for customers are very likely to be locked down but it doesn’t seem sensi?le of amazon to adopt linux just to make it useless
Unless amazon are gonna make a browserOS like chromeOS & rely on PWAs there’s little to no benefit on the switch other than lowering power consumption… (atleast for the avarage user)
Etheramazon is after smh else with linux (AWS?? another amazon linux??) or next-gen firesticks are gonna be multi-purposed as linux desktop and be able to run more software, media & games (anything but more lockdown).
the article take about speculations; but an amazon-based distro for say, playing amazon prime games, optimised for amazon luna & run snaps & flatpaks is something that they would be actually into, if it profitable, and adaptable to mass medium of users…
edit: flatpaks
Well, not a straight answer but, there you go.
(yes, late, also my first post so hi)
I see,
But at this rate, you gonna always make sure whatsapp runs on a VPN AND behind a kill switch so it doesn’t leak,
also maybe you’re interested in using tailscale or netbird to skip the port forwarding / domain hassle so you can connect to your matrix server and use the bridge in minutes.
There’s a new foss netbird client for android if it satisfies.
