And no IPad version to
WhatsApp is owned by Meta right?
I wouldn’t install it on my system in any case.
Isn’t the web version a full client that works without a phone nearby nowadays?
Stop using that shit
Meanwhile in the US and Canada: So, I’ll just send an SMS, k?
Also in the US: Blue SmS right?
Teenagers are the only ones who care about that
I think a lot of tech-savvy adults care about E2E on blue iMessage bubbles. I won’t talk about sensitive information via green, that’s all going to signal.
Isn’t end to end an encryption broken if any of the clients use the feature to send from Mac OS
Its proprietary so that’s not a shock
So is Discord and Viber
Neither of which run well on Linux. Don’t use proprietary software when there are other options
isn’t android somewhat linux
Not really. It technically uses a heavy modified kernel but that’s about it
Even if it exists, then it does not have to be good. Look at Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams???
forgive my ignorance, I also hated teams when I had to first use it, but now other than it being a microsoft and probably data hungry app, what’s bad about it?
It has indeed improved a lot over the last 2 years or so and is now actually quite a mature product, as much as I hate to admit that about an MS product. My biggest gripes with it are its refusal to acknowledge you may be using multiple devices (to this day) and MS’s insistence that a person only do one thing at one time (can’t edit calendar items while checking a chat, for example). Their Linux app is a joke and I’m better off running it from Chrome. The phone app makes the WiFi interface crash constantly and I have to run it off 4G; it is the only app I have this issue with.
Which brings me to another gripe. Teams documentation insists that screen sharing on Linux is not supported, and sure enough you cannot see the option for it while on a call with someone. However if you are in a meeting (with however many people), the option magically appears and works absolutely perfectly.
finally, a decent response.
what do you mean by the multiple devices thing? also my experience has been mostly fine on the linux app, granted I’ve never been in a teams call, so it makes sense.
No separate tabs to do various things at once. You can pop out chats and calls, but that’s about it.
It also struggles to connect with the right audio device everytime.
theres the open in app button I guess. I wouldn’t want to open any kind of document in the built in one because its so slow to load
Why are we installing Whatsapp to begin with?
