Sadly I am not from the US

I mean for electronic payments. But I would also be interested in knowing how you solve gpay in a privacy oriented way?

Otherwise you could write to the good cloud team , they can put you on another node. That happened to me , twice , and now it is much faster . I use it to manage my calendars

Thank you for all your nice thoughts and good advice. I think I am just having a low regarding my privacy journey right now, but I will get back up on the horse eventually. I also think I am overestimating, when companies get hold of some information, they have more information about me than I think. Sometimes I think I have to remind myself, that companies are really more interested in my habits and purchasing patterns, than my telephone number. I guess I do, in that regard, mix and confuse privacy with security a bit. I actually do think that my habits make me pretty secure, so then there is just privacy left. :)

I’m glad there are more people here, that are thinking about these daily dilemmas. The thing is, that I have already, since years, converted my family and friends to Signal, family is using it without a problem, but friends are using it pretty seldom, and then they do not get notifications when I am writing to them. So I got them on Signal, but I still can’t contact some of them because of the notifications issue.😅 That’s what made me write this post about redundancy.

Do you use other means of real time communication other than Signal and plain old SMS?

I tried it now. I want the option of having widgets on my homescreen, I did not see that option. And from my point of view, the search functionality is not anywhere near Kvaesitso or Kisslauncher.

Stupid question, but how would I also get the possibility to receive shortcuts from an app?Letas say a contact in Signal?

I have tried it but it has no second page and no widgets on the home screen without a swipe, can you tell me how you did these two?

How do you use two launchers at the same time?

Is this FOSS?

I can’t get the searchbar to show results for apps and at the same time offer to search the web.

I tried to find it on github, is it FOSS?

Yep, the widgets can not be resized to be very small, compare with Neo launcher and you’ll see the difference.

Sadly its buggy for me. The search function just searches for either web or apps. I have fiddled around with everything.

Sadly me and my GF switched away from it, due to the weird handling of subtasks, their order and constant shuffle of them, when expanded and not expanded.
