   > I mean, sure, there could be "Whatsapp clones" (aren't there already?!) Sounds funny if you consider that Whatsapp itself is just a branded deployment of FOSS XMPP server Ejabberd, with feature of federation taken away.

   How is it regarding GPU driver (or what Mali is)? Are you running binary mali driver or FOSS lima?

   CS works just fine from Steam. On any Linux.

   I even don't hope it is free of closed-source drivers. Thus I won't even look at buying it.

   Mostly the best thrash metal ever - Overkill, then some Exodus and Havok. Also The Offspring (pop-punk), The Lively Ones (1960s surf rock).

   For desktop, I've heard of Adium for Mac. For Linux, the one with most decent features support is Gajim, but it is far from being perfect.

    Out of curiosity: are you leveraging such software as spectrum (spectrum.im) and libpurple? These pieces seem to be a good fit for internal gears of your product. Good luck, you are working on an important problem.

    What about reusing and polishing XMPP and existing decent software for it? About donating money to people who develop it all these years? No, we'll spread FUD upon XMPP or just ignore it but will proceed to use and abuse its legacy beh

    Yes. I use similar setup with Linux' LUKS disk encryption and suspend/resume with encrypted swap partition works. You need to use initramfs with your kernel, so that kernel you boot from external drive is not alone but has some to

    Enough of fenced services owning the users. I'm fed up with carouselle of new services for same features. I'm going to stick with XMPP, which is openly federated and free as in freedom. It is now technically capable of chat sync,
