XMPP is an insecure mess, even if you try to bolt on the weird encryption layer

System76 spent their time spreading slander about Gnome and being shitty to upstream, just FYI

I personally don't trust the little (probably superficial) insights I have into the topic enough to be able to gauge this; neither do I have the energy to put into discerning slop creators doing it for clickbait with some backyard engineering or genuinely correct amateurs.

I like to outsource that to proper channels, I understand that it's probably not 100% fair every single time, but as I said, I have neither time nor energy to judge it properly myself

Exactly, when it comes to highly complex chemical and electrical engineering and physics (as is the case with Smartphones and their lithium-ion batteries), I will take it as an inditcator if it comes from well-established testers with professional equipment like GN (Gamers Nexus) or other established technical journals when talking outside of the video world, but will not accept it as a general and genuine technical (!) insight until it has gone through the due process of scientific publishing and peer review...

Even then I prefer meta-studies, since they reduce biases and general inaccuracies.

MIT is an extremely weak license when it comes to defending free/libre rights; e.g. it allows proprietary forks. i.e. companies stealing the code, making their own bullshit corpo product and not even releasing the source code back

Last I checked Ubuntu was not an unstable mess of a rolling release, but a distro people rely on for stability.

Their normal non-LTS versions are still considered production ready and acting that rash has only solidified my negative opinion of them more...

Have fun living under a rock like it's the web 1.0. Maybe try running LibreJS and you might be as modern as RMS!

Call me when GOG Galaxy supports Gnu/Linux.

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The ones in my scope thus far are:

TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker
