#Android migration is such a painful process. Especially if one does not use shady techniques backing up to big tech clouds. Interestingly out of 2 messaging apps most painful was #WhatsApp. Builtin migration process was failing, transfer dropping all the time. Unable to complete. I lost all hope, but somehow decided to try copy over Android/media/com.whatsapp directory. And to my surprise all chats and media were restored.

My reluctant return to WhatsApp - moonwriting

Dear reader, Leaving WhatsApp has been the most demanding privacy-related change I have ever made. It took years of preparation: moving conversations to...

Was mich am meisten irritiert ist die kategorische Weigerung, meist aus Bequemlichkeit. Freundin und Mutter eines Kindes in der Parallelklasse hat Klassenchat auf Signal. Aber weigert sich mit mir über Signal zu kommunizieren.

"Ignoriere ich eh schon"
"Nur wenn die Mehrzahl meiner Leute Signal haben"
"möcht nicht wissen wo all unsere Daten schon rumschwirren"

😵‍💫

Für den Schulchat habe ich jetzt immerhin eine Abstimmung angeleiert. Bin gespannt...
