These posts are already beginning to be tiring. It's always the same software, and always the same arguments against some of the choices.
Ditching open source projects for corporate European stuff doesn't solve anything, it just moves the problem. How can you be sure that every country in the EU won't break some trade deals and leave the EU at some point? And closed source software is not better at protecting your privacy if that's what you want.
And the "European based forks/open source projects"(whatever that means) is a stupid argument. For example, cryptography experts pointed out issues in threema, so why recommend it instead of signal which is open source projects, and by definition, not tied to a country?
And finally, I think we should stop recommending LLMs altogether. They're an ecological and sociological disaster.
