[NBLUG/talk] talk Digest, Vol 195, Issue 3

Tue Apr 12 12:43:04 PDT 2022

Hi all: are there going to be any meetings coming up in April?

Derek: I still have not made the plunge into LineageOS yet. Oddly 
enough, having to ask my friends/relatives/housemates to switch from 
WhatsApp to Signal or give up my access to my credit union's app is more 
sticky than I thought...
