Source? Afaik there's no backdoor in their cryptography, except maybe if using the cloud to back up your chats?

Haven't done it myself yet! I'm planning to switch to Linux Mint later this year, and have a dual boot with Windows on the side, so I can switch at any time if needed.

I think it has a built-in dual boot feature: img

I advise backing up your harddrive and stuff to prevent problems, or having one for Windows and the other one for Linux so you avoid problems. Credits here: https://opensource.com/article/18/5/dual-boot-linux#Ubuntu

I have no experience with this yet, always double verify! I think Mint uses GRUB

Arch linux also has a more in depth post on this

Oh nice! I felt like website did a bad job at explaining what it is and how it works

Like, it doesn’t say if it uses one of their servers or if the two devices should be up at the same time. If so, that’s really unfortunate

Platform developers, including those who build custom ROMs, will largely also see little change, since they typically base their work on specific tags or release branches, not the main AOSP branch. Similarly, companies that release forked AOSP products rarely use the main AOSP branch due to its inherent instability.

That’s not what’s implied at all. Please don’t spread misinformation

I guess dual boot could be a solution :)

How does that differ from something like Nextcloud?

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 2 points 4 months ago

Not that much do though, but yea, people should

WhatsApp is cryptographically secure but yea, still collects your contacts
