Honestly, it depends a lot on where you’re coming from and what you look like

Look European. Don’t be Asian and especially don’t be African. Got it.

How annoying

You don’t need to mention people when replying to them.

You can also use your camera to scan the qr when seeing the person in person.

Either

Btw I use Debian

Just use the Mozilla .deb

You should not eat this.

Anti-freedom

Profit-maximising

Literally killed the 3.5mm to increase profits

Needs more fam

Seriously? Python for massive amounts of data? It’s a nice scripting language, but it’s excruciatingly slow

The sysadmin version of

if(predicate) { return true; } else { return false; }

That’s because you know how to find information in a computer quickly and precisely. Recalk is for clueless people. They can ask the computer in plain English.

I’d go with Signal or Threema

Signal: Best data protection. They are on a different level from anyone else. They even reimplemented gif search through their app so it can be anonymised (instead of the data-collecting gif search in your keyboard). Just an example, they really try. Also has a desktop app that doesn’t need the mobile app to be running. Downsides are google dependency (for push notifications - but they’re empty, the encrypted data does never even touch google) and required linking to phone numbers. They do have usernames now so you don’t have to give out your phone number to talk to someone. Behind it is an US based non profit - whether that is a downside everyone can decide for themselves.

Threema: No need for phone number, not even a credit card, you can buy it anonymously through their website. No google services required. Swiss based company, so much better laws than USA. Finance themselves through the one time fee of 2 USD and through their corporate offers, no nags for donations, no selling of data. Downsides are server code is not open source, and their protocol is less good than Signals, but still reasonably secure. They’re working on a new one though. Also no independent desktop app yet (also working on it).

You could use the webmail

Midlevel management does this, not developers

Magnetised needle and a steady hand is all you need.
