if you want to actually rethink your network stack, then use reticulum, and ifnyou just mean use TCP/IP but change stuff that's around it then well idk.

whatsapp is a modified XMPP, itnmight be possible to make an XMPP client that can also use the whatsapp servers.

I would reccomend XMPP(with OMEMO), for android I reccomend the conversations client, but there are a lot of clients: https://xmpp.org/software/?platform=all-platforms I suggest you choose a client that fully supports OMEMO encryption.

check out https://soatok.blog/2025/01/14/dont-use-session-signal-fork/ and https://soatok.blog/2025/01/20/session-round-2/ . session doesn't even have PFS(perfect forward secrecy), whichbcan be very useful, sonfi a key is cracked, then only a few messages can be decrypted.

same here, I use invidious!

I use nushell btw, but I do agree fish autocompletions are the best!

and with an internet connection required(good luck entering your wifi password without a keyboard)

yeaj, but the app only supports openai, you can't just switch to a local ai.

so, GSI is just android with fast updates and the possibility to only have foss or have no apps? that's not what I need, I want a system with microg or nothing instead of google services, only foss apps but ideally no apps preinstalled(that, GSI can do) and also privacy features like microphone and camera blocking. I think I'll just use lineage, or install a real linux on it.

that's a good thing, if you host it on your own instance.

ok who the heck uses windows servers? I don't think even microsoft does.

I perfectly agree, RSS has always worked, and is federated, in a better way than even activitypub, as pretty much each podcast is on the servers of the owners, and that the clients do the aggregation.
