TROMjaro is alive and well. And we keep it up to date and relevant - tromjaro.com - I love our Linux distro! :) I love when it is stable and just works. And we also ship with so many tweaks you can simply use it. No ads, no trackers, all apps available in Linux from one single place - click and install. I love it. A very positive project indeed :)

This is probably slightly besides the point, but I absolutely love your collection of backgrounds :)


The usual Manjaro Stable update plus we disabled one more of the Firefox’s terrible settings, one that allows advertisers to track you a little bit better.




Although not much since we are also severely underfunded, TROM is donating 10 Euros a month to Yunohost donate.yunohost.org/ and is encouraging you to do the same if you use Yunohost and can afford. Let's hope more people support these projects.

Funny how everyone thinks everyone uses Whatsapp. Almost as if it is a default messaging app for phones. Pisses me off. I have a hard time trying to explain to people that I do not use it, I use Signal. They look at me as if I am a weirdo. But fuck them :D - if anyone wants to contact me, use Signal. It is a shame that an ad company, facebook who owns whatsapp, has become the default messaging platform for most humans on this planet.

But well, ad companies like google, tiktok, and the like are used for all sorts of online means by everyone.

Sad. And we should not accept this situation.

Indeed! It's even worse in Czech Republic here: people mostly have the facebook messanger or whatever, and some organizations use the facebook groups for contacts, so I have to have a facebook account just to be able to join the group chat of people living in my building or to get the news about the house 🙄 Incredibly painful.. 😠

oh yah i remember that....absolute bonkers. the worst part is that if you try to explain to them why Signal, Friendica, or the like are better and why facebook, wasap, and so one are terrible, they do not get it. Or they do not care.

For my driving school I forced them to only contact me on Signal because they wanted me to use whatsapp to tell me when we have practices and such. I was the only one with Signal haha. But at least I made the instructor install Signal and explained to them a bit why it is better. In the end I don't think they care...

People just want to consume and use. Too tired and uninformed to do anything else. If everyone uses whatsapp, then just use it to talk to people. Data collection? ahh who cares!! They buy a phone that comes with whatever google, apple, samsung shit apps and tracking, but no one has the time or knowledge to change anything about it...and so on. Spoon fed.

When contacting someone I use SMS/RCS, and I'm simply not responding to Whatsapp direct messages, or maybe one day later. This sends a strong message (pun).

But I still need Whatsapp, and Fb Messenger above all, because groups are there, less known friends are there, and because sometimes conversations start with Facebook stories.
