i am not sure if its still a thing but there was an app that automated this method for spying on your contacts. it even became quiet popular in the different app-stores.

But all of that is very limited data. Imagine what Meta itself can do with all the collected metadata. I wonder where their name came from

last time i checked i couldn’t get G-Messages to run without proper PlayServices installed.

edit: i believe I could get it to run but not the RCS support! So that made it very useless

Does it already integrate with Thunderbird?

Why is this not linked in the sidebar?

edit: No matter what one thinks about the privacy aspects of Signal: If its an official discussion group of this community it should be in the sidebar - just like the Discord group. I therefore assume it’s unofficial or maybe not even related to this comunity?

I like to imagine it as a fake Android CalDAV Client that doesn’t subscribe to a CalDav Server, but instead to a directory that you define. The UI is also based on DAVx⁵. It doesn’t store iCal-files, but Fossify Calendar allows export of events in iCal.

You can use DecSync!

synchronizes RSS, contacts, calendars, tasks and more without requiring a server

It is quiet easy to set up for Android with DecSync CC

With any Calendar App you like. I enjoy Fossify Calendar.

For PC you can install DecSync-Plugin for Radicale. And then import your Calender’s to any CalDav compatible program.

How does one “fork” a repo like this and then is proud about 100+ contributors he got? I believe they know exactly what they are doing and just don’t care.

Where is “eating animals from livestock”?

done and subscribed :)

a rare case in which >100% is possible

Silence - a Signal fork is actually still quiet decent. Simple and support for encrypted SMS. Which is a fun feature.
