overview for Babalugats

Thanks, that looks good. It should work with the p20 pro, right? Maybe with a different WiFi chip, I'll look into it a bit more, but lineage and postmarketos being an option are way better than I was expecting 😀. Glad I asked now.

Have I any options with Huawei P20 Pro/P30 Pro? (feddit.uk)

I have access to two phones that are no longer being used, a Huawei P20 Pro and a P30 Pro. Through a link on the PotatoNV git page I saw HCUClient which I believe makes it possible to unlock these phones and unlock the bootloader if I buy the software for €19 for 72 hours.

If I unlock the bootloaders, are there any privacy oriented ROMs available for them, or any options at all?

When I search, it seems that because of the bootloaders being locked, nobody had worked on anything, although some posts in random corners of the internet say that there are a couple of options, but without confirming anything.

WhatsApp won’t roll out ads in EU until 2026 in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Meta said in the announcement that the new features are built “in the most privacy-oriented way possible,” and has emphasized that sharing of data between WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook will only happen when users have opted in to having their accounts linked.

So, not private at all.. "most privacy-oriented way" - The same way that users need to activate "advanced chat privacy" manually on every single chat while they roll out and embed their bug ridden AI.

Realistically, the majority of people will not switch to threema @ €5.99. It's already extremely difficult to get people to leave WhatsApp. They're not going to pay for it.

Signal isn't EU based, but afaik not profiteering or harvesting data.

EDIT:

There are quite a few EU based according to this.

Europe needs digital sovereignty - and Microsoft has just proven why. (tuta.com)

A quiet but deeply unsettling moment just shook the foundations of international justice, proving why Europe needs digital sovereignty - and most Europeans not too interested in tech likely missed it: The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a court based in The Hague and central to Europe’s upholding of human rights, suddenly found that his email account was shut down. The service provider? Microsoft. The reason? Mr. Trump.....

European crypto wallets? (feddit.uk)

Are there any good European crypto wallets? Hardware or otherwise. On Android or desktop or alternatives to Trezor or Ledger? I don't have a lot (€590 btc and €400 eth).

Looking to build on them and for secure storage. Thanks.

EDIT. Sorry, I also meant to add that I'm looking for a wallet with multichain support, so that for example I could convert my bitcoin to USDT or another stablecoin without having to go back an exchange.
