Random question for anybody:

Do you still use analog things? I still prefer my radio (dials and antenna) to listen to news and radio shows. I’m fortunate that our local public radio is excellent journalism. No terms and conditions, no privacy policy, no account signup, no algorithms. I can’t choose the topics but I’ve discovered new authors and ideas this way. I have a blue piece of tape on the dial marking my NPR station. #privacy #analog

Uagliù, due parole.
Siete ancora lì con WhatsApp che vi succhia i dati, Telegram che non si capisce bene chi legge cosa, e Signal che si dichiara rispettoso della privacy però vi chiede il numero di telefono??
E allor c stat a fa angor da? Finish!....STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
Provatevi DeltaChat che è un client di posta elettronica travestito da app di messaggistica, che funziona pure bene, e iscrivetevi al relay italiano su: https://chatmail.culturanerd.it o altri che possano essere di vostro gradimento e che trovate su https://chatmail.at/relays
È veloce, è cifrato, è federato, e soprattutto non appartiene a nessun Zuckerberg che manco sa cos'è la crittografia.
Nessun numero di telefono da dare, nessun account strano da creare, nessuna notifica alle 3 di notte con "Ciao, ti mando le mie foto" da uno sconosciuto.
Solo messaggi. Puliti. Come le orecchiette della nonna, semplici, genuine e fanno bene.
Provatelo e poi venite a dirmi. E se non vi piace... vabbè, tornate a fare i vocali da 4 minuti su WhatsApp
