Antennas work regardless of their location, propagation however is dependent on the surrounding and surrounding materials.

You don’t need the same antenna on all devices.

12 might be a bit high, but 8 is definitely right. Remember that you don’t just need line of sight, you need to pass the fresnel zone as well.

Regardless of the gain, you can’t go wrong with the RAK antennas.

The RAK wireless 8 or 12dBi

I’m not sure that’s a good idea security-wise.

You could always sign the messages with GPG or S/MIME.

Works just fine, OOTB, on Debian with GNOME (I’d imagine KDE as well)

Evidently if they are putting in effort to migrate to gtk4, it isn’t abandoned…

So that’s where Nick Merrill has gone!

Kinda of a poor write up. I have my issues with this but signal doesn’t really use phone numbers internally, it uses hashes of phone numbers. It’s not as straight forward as this article makes it seem, and this is readily available information that the author could have found.

Yeah, but Dolphin has also had it for ages

That’s nice, can we please have column view now?

Only if the phone is still receiving kernel updates from the upstream vendor

Custom ROMs don’t usually include the kernel because those kernels contain proprietary patches that aren’t available from the manufacturer.

Consider that it doesn’t get kernel updates though, not great for security.

No this is Google trying to avoid an anti trust lawsuit as they remove sideloading.

Now imagine a world where you have no access to anything that’s proprietary, how would you survive in that case ??

Pretty much the same as I do today.

Imagine a world where you don’t have access to mentionning users in every post, how would you survive?

Plenty of GUI apps in the repository.

Yeah I don’t use stores, sorry.

A what store now? Like Lowe’s, Costco, or The Container Store?

What this “app” thing you speak of?
