I did not know about Haveno, I am going to check into them, thank you. Someone else also suggest Cake, I will give it a try

I have not heard of them, thank.you. Do you have any idea why it's not included in F-Droid?

I hav not looked at Cake but that's what I was asking for so thank you

 

Since Monero is a privacy coin, why is there no libre monero app available without any anti-features? There's a Zcash app, a couple of bitcoin apps, who no Monero?

I don't use the standard that if something is on F-Droid then it's private. I check that an app does not have any anti-features to know that it can be used anonymously

You are doing mental gymnastics

That's your choice to exclusively use Linux on your system, but telling others what they must give up to conform to what Linux can do is pushing cult mentality. You are only providing proof why people should always avoid Linux at all cost. To prove my point, you should try to get a job in IT maintaining network systems or service support for a company helping random customers and see how far you get.

Windows in a VM nainly only works in a server setup. Nit exclusively a server, but mainly only in servers. On desktop, Windows in a VM is either pointless, as in overkill, or problematic.

I use BSD, Linux, but all gaming is exclusively on Windows. Linux is not 109% compatible with all PC hardware, like soft EQ, DAC, or mixer setup for $500 of audio hardware not ncluding speakers, not all games in existance of the past 30 years have a Linux verson available or come ffom alaunxher or store, so all gaming is always exclusively on Windows.

People only push Linux for gaming out of ideology, not a solution. Using a translation layer or emulation means incompatibility, not a solution. Gaming on Linux because hate Windows, is not a solution. Mental paranoia over telemetry does not make Linux a solution.

Why do people not use Win 11 LTSC so nothing is installed besides barebones Windows functionality? It does not come with Microsoft Store or Media Player

You can walk to grocery store and pay with monero? I can't find a way to buy monero without a credit card.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

My point being, as long as there is never any way to buy groceries with crypto, it will never be greatly valuable. It won't be worthess, people will want it, but crypto will never grow into anything.

Because if that, not as many online services will every accept crypto because they don't want to pay to exchange it. But if crypto became another form of payment for retail, then a lot more online stores and services will also accept crypto instead of being responsible for taking card information.

 

I know Whatsapp several tenants of privacy, but outside of North America, everybody has Whatsapp. We need to unify to spread the message of Signal as an alternative, not SimpleX.

Anyways, I've noticed a pattern as I do have Whatsapp, when I get random texts that looks suspicious, I use the app "Open In WhatsApp" and enter the phone number from the text to start a chat in Whatsapp, and 99% of the time it says that phone number is not registered for Whatsapp, thereby showing it is most likely spam. Of course that is not 100% of the case, as some people don't use Whatsapp, some businesses do use Whatsapp, but it can be a safe bet if the text number is not on Whatspp, it's very very likely spam and best to block without replying

I saw a post on here months of someone posted their reply to a text that said something like "Hi, my name is Sharon, who will you most likely vote for in the next election?" with a list of options. and they boastfully got suckered to take the bait and fell into the trap. By replying, they showed it was a live and valid number to now sell their phone number to other spammers. Never ever reply to a random message until you can guarantee who that came from.
