We would like to endorse what @[email protected] writes about the inclusion of an “AI assistant” into an instant messenger that is still widely used:
It is unfortunate that many journalists do not realise how dangerous the new AI in WhatsApp really is. Der Spiegel, for example, writes in a recent article: “Meta AI does not have access to users’ private chats, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption.” As a matter of fact, the AI does have access as it is used in the context of private chats or group chats. Sadly, this misinformation lulls users into a false sense of security. 🤦

@[email protected] Just had a look through your list, a few I’m trying out there, thank you! One suggestion for a category though - you have a “Microsoft Office / Office Suites” category, which is great (You list Libre Office, but not Open Office, which is also open source? https://www.openoffice.org/ ) - it would be good to have “word processors” and “Email clients” as their own categories. I found https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/zne3lv/what_lightweight_opensource_word_processor_task/?rdt=44920 with some word processor suggestions and https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/1100rlu/best_opensource_email_client/ for email clients - they were the two categories I was really interested in exploring options for.

@[email protected] Thank you! I have had Libre Office, but hadn’t used open office in ages, I just remembered it as being an option. Good to be updated on that, thank you!
