Afaik there are no good Dating apps.

In March 2024, the British cybersecurity company Fortbridge identified several critical security vulnerabilities in the app. These flaws allowed unauthorized third parties to access private messages and photos, edit user profiles, and search preferences and messages. The vulnerabilities’ duration remains unclear. Feeld claimed that the issues were resolved within three months of being identified. Feeld did not directly inform regulators or notify users of the potential breach of their private data, citing an absence of evidence that any data had been accessed.[27] In its report on the investigation, Fortbridge said that six months had passed between their initial disclosure of the vulnerabilities and Feeld’s confirmation that the issues had been patched.

Also feeld has 3 Analytics Libraries included: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/co.feeld/latest/#trackers

Also most apps require you to upload fotos about yourself.

You forgot books and magazines

Like an advent calendar

Here is a map of all access points in Hamburg, I preselected an acesspoint that has a large mesh network: https://map.hamburg.freifunk.net/#!v:m;n:d8473253afe8

It isn’t just deployed by nerds but sometimes also by cafes, libraries and municipalities. So you can expect them to be in every town but they don’t have such a dense coverage that they have a full mesh network over a city.

And the thing that is missing is that there are no inter network services like an copy of Wikipedia, LLMs or fileshares.

They have their own antennas. If the internet connection of one router dies, but it has a connection to another Freifunk node, it gets routed over the other one.

There is freifunk in Germany they use Mesh Network -> Router > VPN to another Country so they dont get Problems by People pirating.

No, but don’t use SMS either. Meta Apps have the permission to access SMS.

LiMux failed because Torvalds didn’t bribed the Mayor and the ruling Conservatives, like M$/Gates and Balmer personally did.

There is a big difference tho.

It also allows to communicate with non-delta chat users via email through the same chat interface

That’s a disadvantage. Messengers should only allow secure encrypted chats!

Teleguard defenitly not they are closed source.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) is not available anymore in Germany. Why would anyone sane use that shit if there are free options?

Depends currently I use a free one where they are included. Before that I used another one where they were extra and before that I used a prepaid plan where they were extra just data was cheaper.

See my post above: WhatsApp backups are unencrypted by default to Google/Apple servers. But at least you have options to make it more secure.

If you Chat via WhatsApp the Chat is probably in cleartext on the servers of

• Google
• Apple
• Meta
• NSA and stuff

But at least You can be sure if you are really chatting to the right person

You can send self destructive messages with a very short livespan that probably won’t land in cleartext on somebody else’s devices.

If you call you are Safe, its encrypted and not stored unencrypted in backups.

So its possible to use it encrypted

If you Chat via SMS the Chat is probably in cleartext on the servers of

• Provider1
• Provider2
• Google
• Apple
• Meta
• NSA and stuff
• but also any other Spy agency or snoop that has access to SS7

You can’t be sure if you are really chatting to the right person

Calls are interceptable.

impossible to use securely

They are more commonly used and thus have a large community and documentation and packages also from commercial vendors.

Would rather use WhatsApp then SMS. Its much more secure and private and doesn’t cost money. Although if RCS is an option it could be used instead of SMS or WhatsApp.
