Wrong forum for this question. I wanted universal chat, file transfer, and clipboard sharing across the big 3 desktop and big 2 mobile OSes without being tied to a universal, privacy-invading, primary key like a phone number. Using phone

"Help" like planting a few trees ostensibly to "solve" climate change. And show me the evidence this is better than regulating and eliminating pollution at its sources.
