Tnx for this overview.

It’s hard to find any good info. TIL; GrapheneOs was founded by Daniel Micay, a Canadian. That’s pretty much European too.

To me, it’s about having “de-googling” smartphone OS options. As you seem to be more of an expert, how is safety/ privacy ranked between normal Google Android phones compared to any one of those other OS from that graph; so I undertand at what level were are talking about?

Tnx! Yes, I’ve heard about this option as being safe. I will also consider it, but as E-os claimed to be "smooth ", that would be great too ofc.

Am trying some alt (chat) apps as well atm. Deltachat and Skred. And if you like French, Skred is an option. added:( chat)

I have an old SmartPhone which I could use, after getting &installing a new battery. Will need to plan and go through the whole process, I’m no expert. But sure, I’ll do a follow-up.

Am now more working with migrating to mailbox.org or tuta.com, libre-org etc etc. It’s a new world.

Just saw this other sticky post mentioning 5 different smartphone OS systems, including this one. But not about experiences.

Added some extra info:

Some users claim to start with an older second phone, and gradually decouple as time and a learning curve is needed ( example: specific banking & parking apps, and so on)

It’s a very worrying signal for the US, whichever threshold you use.

I’d rather not.

It really is. Could’ve been worse, like having some “I love Tuta” stickers. smh

TIL: they used to be called Tutanota. The word “Tuta” comes from Latin, which roughly translates into “Safe”. This acts as a nice successor to what “Tutanota” meant in Latin, which was “Secure Note”.

We have a lot of undeclared stuff going on, unfortunately.

In this context the Dutch government advised per 6th of March " Dutch government recommends citizens get 72-hour emergency kits: ‘civil defence must increase’"

The French version sounds more comprehensive.

Some weeks ago, there was an interview with the Dutch Minister of Internal Affairs, and he admitted to have been properly prepared for over a year.

When asked why he had, he answered that since he was now more involved in the Government as a Minister, he had more knowledge of events, so to speak . Admittedly saying something without saying anything.

using financial instruments as weapons of war

Tariffs and sanctions are usually “cheaper” and more popular.

Komrade Krasnov is investing and bolstering the Russian economy

The Ruble is climbing again since Trump. That says it all imo.

edit The RUB/USD rate is up +33.47% in 2025. This means the Russian Ruble increased in value compared to the US Dollar.

I can sort the comments [ new/old etc] now! ( Jerboa).

It’s happened or happening in Cameroon as well ( link ) by Sinosteel, part of the same company China Baowu Steel Group Corp., Ltd.

“Cameroon Locals Seek Justice amid Chinese Iron Mining Expansion”

(…) serious environmental risks, including potential contamination of the Lobé and Likodo rivers, and Manyange na Elombo Campo Marine Park. Early signs of water quality deterioration were observed even before mining operations began(…) The project threatens tropical forests, wetlands, and endemic species in Campo Maan National Park and Manyangué na Elombo Campo Marine Park(…)

+FYI: Population Cameroon 31M.

The revelations about the special envoy’s [ Kellog] pro-Russia writings and the far-right connections of his staff come at a time when the Trump administration has been accused of seeking to hand Russia victory in its war at the expense of Ukraine and other European allies, and when the employment of young, ideological staffers across government agencies has drawn scrutiny.

Thanks to all the thousand of new (US) volunteers that are helping Ukraine!

It’s remarkable to say the least, when you consider that this meeting took place in Canada -which Trump is threatening to Annex and is Tariffing-, and just like one week after USA refused to sign a prior statement supporting Ukraine’s souverignity against Russia.

You just can’t make this shit up. (ed)

And don’t forget he’s an oligarch, and more recently, also a supporting populist & right-winged ideologist.

what sort of concessions

Yes am curious too. But most probably it has been discussed already in some chambers.
