  • To give you an example, if you have no water in your house you need to report on wp. No other way. And this is the standard for a lot of services, wp is the ONLY way to ask for support.

    whatsapp requires phone numbers. surely they can be called

    It’s a nightmare, i really want to get rid of meta services but it is impossible for my case.

    if you have tech skills, try running a matrix bridge for whatsapp for yourself. take it slowly if you need it, you are not in a hurry. your own server, federation off. keep using whatsapp as you did before, and check for a month or two if the bridge is running stable. subscribe to notifications for github releases of the bridge to know if there’s an important update.
    you won’t be able to leave whatsapp behind, but at least you’ll be able to get rid of its apps that do whatever that’s not for your benefit
















  • yeah. the thing with the stuck keys and crashes is not normal. I’ve never experienced it (though I wanted to restart the window manager once), but also I’m using KDE

    and you know what? if you still need x11 for some things, log in on a 2nd TTY to another user with an x11 session. you can then switch the active TTY to use the other. Though I admit, I have no idea how the 2 users’ sound system work together
