OnionShare is FOSS and transfers files over TOR network.
People have to learn to separate software from its developer.
For example, I don’t care about Hyprland lead dev being an asshole sometimes, if the WM he’s developing works good. I don’t care about Cider devs political positions if it doesn’t directly affect my experience with the software.
And people also have to learn, that if someone uses any particular software, they aren’t necessarily using it the way developer pointed out they should.
I use GrapheneOS on my device, but that doesn’t mean that I completely follow devs philosophy. I don’t use Vanadium, 'cause I don’t wanna support Chromium monopoly. I use F-Droid to install my apps, even if developers think, that I should get my apps directly from its devs.
Does GrapheneOS founder or developer philosophy that you don’t agree with makes Graphene a bad OS? Of course it doesn’t. GrapheneOS is still one of the best options on degoogling your device if not the best.

Why does that matter?
signal
I personally think that Session is better than Signal. At least it doesn’t require a phone number to register.

I use KDE, because it runs perfectly on wayland and covers 100% of my needs.
Budgie looks very promising now and I want to explore it further. Also LXQT is perfect for older devices or if you want a KDE, but simplier.

tl;dr:
GrapheneOS passes the basicIntegrity check but isn’t certified by Google so it fails the ctsProfileMatch check.
Because they are not Ubuntu /s
fooyin is a music player built around customisation. It offers a growing list of widgets to manage and play your local music collection. It’s extendable through the use of plugins and many widgets make use of FooScript to offer an even deeper level of control.
Audio playback is supported by FFmpeg alongside multiple options for output including ALSA and PipeWire, with more to come.
Global VPN (use vpn for both personal and work profiles)
Alright, this one got me interested.
Usually, that isn’t happening and big projects just stay at Github, which is kinda sad.
Yes, it does. And yes, it is equally bad in both cases.
Don’t get me wrong. As far as we know, no malicious code have been funded. The very fact that the Signal was sponsored by the CIA is suspicious (maybe I used some incorrect words, sorry if so). Of course, it’s totally up to you whether you think that fact is sus or not.
That’s not true. A phone number is still required to register, you can just set it not to be public.
Source: I just tried to register and it asked for my phone number.
Which lines of its libre software source code are malicious?
It’s not about code, but about funding.
It’s centralised
Yes, and it’s the downside, no matter how you look at it.
Let’s be honest, Signal is not perfect either:
This matters because “money talks”, as the saying goes. If the company or person behind the money is likely to have reason not to protect customers’ privacy, it’s important to know. This could be indicative of the company not doing as they say (Google, Whatsapp, for example) or changing their mind once they’ve onboarded enough customers from whom they can make money.
(I’m gonna find sources for the last two statements a bit later to not be unsubstantiated)
Done.
Although, we all can agree, that Signal is still better than Telegram, or WhatsApp, or Threema, or whatever.
Still, we probably want to look at the better alternatives, like Simplex or Session.
You can install Firefox only as a snap on Ubuntu. There’s no native package on the official repo.
