    whatsapp doesn’t have the best app. It doesn’t look the best, it’s not the fastest. It was just very great back in the days. But not anymore. Whatsapp could easily publish the code. It’s not the client, it’s the server. They could even publish the server code. It’s not the code itself. It’s the people using it.

    • making the introduction about the topic itself
    • today, all traffic is encrypted. You do not need a vpn for that. Even if you wouldn’t use TLS, using a vpn wouldn’t make it much more secure.
    • just address that IPs can be static or dynamic. There are many different cases and you exclude them.
    • just because the ip is hidden, you may still reveal your location by other means.
    • i am still in charge of my privacy, vpn only hide ip. All other personal identification methods are still valid.
    • if you need to be anonymuous vpns aren’t the best tool for it which is the controversal part about vpns. If you just want to torrent, you have to use vpns in many locations. Vpns are useless if you log in to services.









  • Appimages do. Flatpaks have runtimes. There may be multiple runtimes but space is cheap. You can even spare the amount of space on a phone.

    I once thought I should compress my images because they had 10mb each. I was wrong. I just had to put them on my server with immich and I don’t care about the space anymore. One 4k video is so big, all space related problems with apps or images are a real waste of time.
