ToNIX

Because the only good thing about Signal is it’s encryption.

EndeavourOS is the right answer.

The user interface itself is amazing, true seamless multiple device support - including web clients (with your drafts synced on all your devices too), live location sharing, polls, live voice channels, good stickers, bots, public groups/channels, 2gb file sharing, video messages, usernames, etc.

Signal is only good at doing one thing, and that’s encryption. It lacks so many useful features that Telegram has.

Organic Maps is indeed open source and available through f-droid/GitHub/Telegram.

It’s actively developed and it’s UI is more easier to use than OSMAnd. The search accuracy is also way better than in OSMAnd, in which I often can’t find places.

OSMAnd is pretty nice, but Organic Maps is just way better IMHO.

Have you tried OnlyOffice? It’s pretty much like MS office and documents compatibility is really good.

Good tips! I should have explained a bit more, but by getting a server as close as possible, your ping should theoretically be lower than an instance that’s far from you (I know, the internet is not a straight line to the server).

The best way to test this is by pinging the server in a CMD prompt/terminal.

Yeah, I also have one on lemmy.ca, the ping is more consistent (both are 2-3ms).

Signal fanboys downvoting you.

Try registering on a smaller instance that’s more responsive, with a better ping by being closer to your house.

This, but also an instance with a good ping, close to your house.

Try another instance, as close to your home as possible.

Try Telegram. It’s feature rich and works flawlessly on multiple devices.

That’s what I always said. Signal only does one thing right, encryption, and that’s it. The rest isn’t great, they kept the server side code hidden for 1 year to implement the shitty MoxieCoin (so Moxie and his friends could get rich) and removed SMS recently.

I moved to Telegram and the features are so great there’s no way I’ll ever use Signal. If you really need E2EE you can use it in personal chats. For regular chats, the fact that you have access to all your messages from everywhere is really convenient.
