  • SMS is incredibly antiquated as soon as you want to do anything multimedia, or heck sending an SMS longer than 144 characters.

    My mother received a video over SMS the other day and it legitimately looked like it was filmed on a Nokia 6310.

    I’ve encouraged my family to use Signal to replace SMS and it functions really well as an SMS upgrade. It’s more secure, private, supports sending decent quality multimedia, the interface is simplistic, it has formatting, does video calls well, and you can send a long message without it being a hacked together string of 5 messages.

    From both a security and usability perspective, it wins out on SMS in my opinion.

    Edit: there’s also the nightmare of group chats with SMS. I hate when extended family try to use it










  • I just use Linux Mint Debian Edition for my study laptop, sounds pretty much the same - in over a year of use, I have literally never had a single problem with it (other than things directly caused by me like leftover fstab entries for testing). I know it’s what Debian is renowned for but god damn that is a stable operating system.
