And, Delta Chat works flawlessly via the TOR network and can be installed as a Persistent Application on TAILS OS.
This is NOT POSSIBLE with telephony based messaging.

I'm not sure the router is the issue at my locality.
I think its the widlly variable and unreliable input network it's connected to.
Part satellite, part fibre and part copper. Always 'choked' at critical/peak times.
You could have a piece of wire with a gain of 100 as a router, means nothing if the network data rate is 10MB/S.
IMHO.
And besides, my internet is 5G, my Mac hasn't got a SIM slot I'm afraid.

I'm not surprised. Actually, I'm surprised DC was ever in the Chinese App Store.
As a matter of fact the reason I sold all my Apple devices and moved to FOSS was because they sold-out their principles to get into China for the cash.
So, for the right price they'll sell YOU out too.
But there are lots of 'resourceful' Chinese so DC will get around eventually.
And, don't forget, thankfully Delta Chat works perfectly well over the TOR network and can be used as a Persistent App with TAILS OS.
而且，别忘了，值得庆幸的是，Delta Chat 在 TOR 网络上运行良好，并且可以作为 TAILS OS 的持久应用程序使用。

Having used a Pixel and Samsung variants with GrapheneOS and LineageOS, I find it an absolute necissity to maintain, even a bare bones, iPhone for business.
Try as I might, even 5 out of 6 'thinking' adults in my immediate family, let alone the wider community, just refuse to even consider a more secure option.
They just don't care!
So, even though I love and support alternatives to the 'Big Tech' monopolies, reality still rules.
Time to remind folks about this little gem of a publication.

Hahaha, these people are so full of BS its hilarious.
KYC is KYC folks.
A phone is a phone is a phone you know, mobile or not.
Can I suggest people want privacy more than flexibilty.
Make Signal as anonymous as, say, Delta Chat and you have my ear.

"... If something is a commercial offering by a competent-looking, rich family man in a suit, it's clearly an official, legal, trustworthy product. You can be proud of using such a fancy-looking service..."
Its hardly surprising really.
It's the reason Religion has been so successful.
It's called fear.

Because Delta Chat uses the email infrastructure side of the internet instead of the telephony side, it can be deployed on systems where a telephone line is not available or undesirable, such as TAILS OS using The TOR Network.
These deployments can still be fully integrated and synchronised with a telephony based installation of the app, totally across platform and/or device, if desired, or remain untraceable and anonymous.
To my knowledge this not possible any other secure messaging service with a decent and functional UI/UX.
Top service with unmatched flexibility and privacy.
Bravo to the dev. team, and the relay providers.
So, 47 steals US$1,776,000,000.00 from the American people on dubious grounds and for dubious purposes and within 48 hours indicts Raoul Castro, after a 30 year wait.
Of course, the Cubans won't hand him over and the US will invade.
A regional war off the coast of Florida sounds like a good 'Trumpian' pretext to declare Marshall Law in the US before the mid-terms.
Therefore, with NO ELECTIONS during Marshall Law, 47 continues to rule as absolute authority ad infinitum.
And, let's not forget, American's voted for what is coming, some of them 3 times.
Nothing more embarrassing than an 'own goal', huh folks.
I seriously hope that it is peaceful and enjoyable for Russia today.
Please let common decency and respect prevail once again.
Я серьезно надеюсь, что сегодня для России будет мирно и приятно.

I tried FreeBSD, actually GhostBSD, recently and really liked it.
However, the availability of drivers for even basic peripherals was, I found, still an issue, WiFi for example, and switched back to Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 7) after a short while.
No doubt if you are prepared to put in the effort you could find workarounds, but I'm too old for that.
LMDE 7 would be my recommendation by the way.
The advantages of Linux Mint, with an element of smugness.

I started when Digital Research and Microsoft were still vying for the market equally. DR DOS or MS DOS.
To this day I still use CLI skills learned during that period, including how every Byte of memory was sacred.
When Win95 came along things just started going downhill, and haven't really changed course to my mind.
Animated paperclip... good grief!

If I were the leaders of Iran, I wouldn't want to negotiate with the US either.
Not when the team opposite were all Israeli proxies who want to build a beach resort in Palestine.
Interesting article.
Didn't raed anything about it NOT being able to be written by a human though.

Sorry, I hadn't heard about this until now.
Sounds and looks great.
Stupid question I guess, but is there a Linux Desktop version on the agenda?
Bit of a deal breaker I'm afraid.
Best of luck though and great news about the extra funding.
More power to your arm...
A heads-up to the American people.
When the US military limp home with their tails between their legs after yet ANOTHER ass kicking in the Middle East, 47 is going to be pissed-off and want revenge for the humiliation.
So, once he attacks Cuba he will again turn his attention on his own people as the mid-terms get closer.
At this point, dear MAGA devotees and Republican Senators, the old adage "You reap what you sow" is something worth considering as your country destroys itself from within before your eyes.
And, anyway, its about time you experienced the genocidal nature of your government so often experienced by the foreign countries your military has invaded in the name of democracy over the past 81 years.
Remember, you voted for what is coming.
And, I would suggest, atm, international sympathy is pretty low.
Can someone please return Nigel Farage's shoulders.
Afterall, he has the weight of the Facist Movement in the UK to bear on them.
I can't wait to hear Zuckerbeg lie his way out of this one.
More proof of 47 surrounding himself with idiots and 'yes' men.
Ещё одно доказательство того, что 47 окружает себя идиотами и «да»-мужчинами.
I can only see three possible outcomes for Donald Trump when the US mid-terms happen later this year.
1. Assassination by friendly fire.
2. Prison.
3. Defects to Russia.
Considering the current rate of Trump family corruption, I suspect his family cartel of grifters are stocking-up on fur hats.
Jingoism does not always equate to patriotism.

Fair point.
It just seamed a little harsh given Arcane Chat is a one man show, trying his hardest to provide a free app for people with needs outside Delta's basic remit.
But, I take your point.

I wonder if the increase in the number and severity of signs warning of potential ramifications facing folk who are abusive to workers is an indication of a reduction in community standards or customer service.
I know I haven't changed.

When criticising other people's legitimate and valuable work, particularly small, independent developer's, can you please include a link to your superior project.
Thank you.
