Since you're interested in traveling, I would say french. It is spoken in a very wide variety of countries all over the world, you have a lot of resources to learn it and it's related to the other languages to know. Other languages might have more speakers, but if youre just interested in the visiting a lot of wholly different places, it is probably the best one.

1 + (1 + 1) + (1 + 1 + 1)... So -1/12 is still undefeated.

I mean, those are valid concerns. Most messaging apps require a server to be running at all times. If there is only one centralized server, costs will start to pile up, so they'll need a way to make money; either by asking for donations, making a paid tier or by selling your data.

I have to agree on the DaVinci Code, it's impossible to get pass the first chapter.

It's really more like being called Indiana Jones or Washington Jones

Are you referring to websites that use WebGl like Google Earth? If that is the case, there is an option for enabling it on settings.

I had no idea. Thanks for telling me! In that case, im going to try to use the ones from IzzyOnDroid if avaliable

Edit: According to their docs, they do take some special security measures and I couldn't find a case of an app offered on FDroid which had malware.

The closest to that would be Codeberg. It's a nice initiative, and some big projects like LibreWolf are already using it.

I personally like F-Droid's vetting process. It's true that updates always arrive a few days later, but you can be sure they don't contain any malicious code. Furthermore, they specify all of the antifeatures a program has, which makes it easier to avoid them. If you want faster updates, you can always download a program through Obtanium.

 

As far as I know, open file formats have become the standard for basically all industries and types of files. However, some of them, like the Microsoft Office Formats, are still proprietary. I have seen Open Office documents and Ogg being recommended for Office documents and audio files, respectively, but I'm somewhat confused about other types of formats like video.
