Be careful what you post on BIP ;)
BIP has end-to-end encryption. This means that nobody can access the messages, except those who are messaging. However, this does not change the fact that every digital contact leaves a mark.

Also BIP developed video calling long before Whatapp. The disappearing message has been around for a long time. It just arrived on Whatsapp. There is such a nice thing as an urgent message. You can send a quick help message to 112 or someone you select. If your internet is down or if there is a problem on the lines, you can send this message to people within 200 meters of the bluetooth. However, the app must be made more stable.

By the way, it was downloaded 2 million times in 2 days.

Commercial software normally collects data for commercial purposes. However, the situation in the Facebook group is slightly different. Facebook is a system that has previously been proven to manipulate certain elections and where its founder is judged. My doubts about the Facebook group are increasing. Because such systems form the basis of open source intelligence. And Facebook can use it or make it available for these purposes.

When it comes to intelligence, it is Chinese software and hardware that should be avoided the most. Chinese hardware phones and software send data to servers in China. And it does this in the background, without your notice and without your approval. They've been caught over and over.

Even if all software does not have a back door, the owner of the server can access our data. For example, Google followed us even when we turned off the location on Google. The location key is, after all, a graphical interface. When we turn it off, we can think that the code is running in the background, closing the location. But he didn't.

Thus, an opportunity arises for the development of domestic applications. However, as I said, every contact leaves a mark in the digital world. Therefore, it is necessary to be more careful in the digital world.

Whatsapp will start sending everyone's data to Facebook next month.
Whatsapp has already sent the data to Facebook. Facebook reacted to Apple after Apple's change in privacy rules required each application to report which applications it shared data with. Then Whatsapp asked everyone's approval to send the data to Facebook.

When can we see some Linux based phones :-(
The open source world does not leave mobile. Ubuntu Touch is a fully open sources free mobile operating system that is under development. Its last stable version was released in November 2020. It is also possible to install Ubuntu Touch by rooting Android phones. An Android without Google services is the same.

Hmm, juggling convenience and privacy - I'll be looking into de-googled.

Someone who does not want to be followed in any way has to use free software developed by open source and non-commercial volunteer software developers. So there are such foundations. For example GNU / Linux, such as Mozilla. They do not charge you money, they do not collect your data and therefore do not show you advertisements. They earn their income entirely from donations of volunteers who support free software developers. TOR and Firefox browsers and DuckDuckGo search engine are examples of software that do not collect data from the user in any way. Firefox specifically blocks all Facebook's attempts.

Some public company seems to be dipping their feet in the flying car waters by opening an outsourcing tender.
No visuals in sight yet.

So many Aselsan engineers where killed by suspicious means.

They have to be protected at all costs.

Remember this Selcuk Bayraktar is now a target for the armenian terrorists. Armenians on social media networks were bragging about how they have to assassinate him asala style. All these threats should not be taken lightly.
This is not the only problem now. Many engineers working on defense industry looking for positions abroad. Because, most of them don't have much faith with the current state of the country.

There is AOSP, base of the Android, i think it can be de-googled with microG may require some additional skills in building and modifying the source. Or they might be AOSP with MicroG.
LineageOS offers de-googled, bundled with MicroG off the box roms:
But i think major issue here is the certification (SafetyNet) so that sensitive apps can run on a phone (banking, some messaging app, some social media apps as well check that security), i am not sure if AOSP or lineageOS can run those apps if the SafetyNet fails, it is getting harder to avoid SafetyNet in newer phone models which is certified by Google.

And technically Android is Linux, Linux is the kernel-anything build on that is a Linux based OS. A huge portion of Android is open-source, what are closed source: Google services and google specific apps.
Someone who does not want to be followed
Impossible nowadays, the provider can follow most of the phones. Too many stations around.
I'll be looking into de-googled.
AOSP,LineageOS with MicroG
FDroid for open source alternatives to many simple or advanced apps
Aurora instead of Google play store to avoid certain matters
Using Adblock software: something from FDroid which monitors what goes in and out from phone with a VPN and virtual IPTable,it can reject certain telemetry)

Actually i used to use AOSP with modification and LineageOS but with the new phone it has been impossible to get a pass from SafetyNet so i have switched to FDroid -OpenSource apps as much as possible, disabling telemetry services and closed source apps (with commands from terminal), leaving as little as Google apps to keep phone running and installing an Adblock to monitor and block what goes out.
