I use „tasks“ for that. When i prepare to go grocery shopping I go to my fridge, open the completed „shopping“ tasks list and uncomplete what is empty. I then complete them again in the mall. Of course the list is hosted on my server.

A man of culture I see.

Selfhosted task list. There is where we stand united my friend.

One more gaming PC with Linux for adding to those higher stats of Tux ;)

I personally wouldn't be concerned at all. They have a good track record.

Hahaha good one!

Yeah, its one of the first things that gets nuked from orbit on a fresh Windows install.

Or Syncthing if they want to sync gb's of files between computers.

Hehehe. Good one.

Still not going back to Windows!

LOL!

[Real] Friends don't let friends use WhatsApp.

;)

Yeah, my exact feelings as well.

Why on earth would I advertise my life to a bunch of strangers.

Before FB, IRC was the thing with nicknames - all text based, as you mentioned.

Those were the days.

Yes. The number one hurdle is to get common folks off WhatsApp. Good luck with that.

So the most liable option to substitute WhatsApp is Signal, which has a somewhat big (not huge) user base, but the probability of that happening is slim to none.

Telegram is even more used than Signal but don't trust it for total privacy and its used for funny business.

Then coming in on 4th place, you have the rest like Matrix, Briar etc. You might get your best friend to use it, but that's about it.

Have you considered running an app on your computer and on your phone (device) instead of an extension?

If so, KDE Connect is a good app for sending files, links and notifications to different devices on LAN. You can even control certain aspects of your computer on your phone.
