Armand1@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsAppEnglish192·2 days agoThe exit plan from WhatsApp is quite simple. Start by installing Signal and setting it up – it takes only a couple of minutes. Then, resume any WhatsApp conversations on Signal if that person is already a Signal user. If they are not, then switch to regular text messaging and gently suggest to that person to switch over to Signal.
Sadly for me, this doesn’t really work for some relatives as
- They live abroad and the cost of sending text messages abroad is not insignificant
- Some are so tech un-savvy that even installing a new app by themselves is too much.
All I can do for those relatives is to leave WhatsApp installed but take away basically every permission I can, including running in the background.
Another one: An old metal USB stick that stayed on my key chain for 15 years. It went through the washing machine at least once.
It still works, though it is dead slow.
I’ve had one Jansport bag for 18 years, all the way through secondary (high) school, university and many years of work.
I use it for food shopping, travelling etc.

Armand1@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10English99·27 days agoThat’s incredibly stupid. Genuinely one of the worst comparisons by a large company in the last few years, and we just had the Nvidia fake frames scandal.
Is this claim local, or do they do this across markets?
Would be helpful to have a link.

Yep, been using it for years now.
Moved over from RealVNC due to licensing limitations and problems with speed and I’ve never looked back.
Ok that’s very funny
Armand1@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutorEnglish91·1 month agoI think recent events are giving a lot of motivation for these kinds of initiatives that weren’t a huge concern in the past.
There’s likely going to be a bit of a scramble as we realise we can’t rely on America and their companies anymore.
Not recommended, you could cut yourself on the edge.
I think the story there was that I broke off the tab by accident.
