  • I don't consider myself hateful in the first place so I'm not aware of anything that needs changing, but I'm open to constructive criticism.

  • Any good paid SMS number service?

  • I 100% agree with you, and my apologies if I came off as hateful, I really don't think I am, but my problems are only with the people who make it their entire identity as you say, they are just exhausting humans in general and I don't really care how they want to identify or whatever, I would pose the same arguments to people of any persuasion if there was a sizeable number of them doing it.

  • UK government demanding access to encrypted iCloud

  • And SMTP/IMAP do not support end-to-end encryption, so a malicious server can still spy on you even if it uses TLS.

  • But I dislike that it requires even going that info

    I never understood this stance... do people really think a corporation is going to risk their entire company over your anonymity when their country's government does not allow this? Nobody is going to jail for you.

    Plus, if everyone could easily sign up anonymously, then like they said, it would be overrun with bots and the reputation of their IPs would quickly deteriorate to where most other email providers would just block them, making the service almost worthless.

  • Do you know an open source TV app for Android TV so Google cannot push its shit?

  • By satellite do you mean like a dish physically plugged in with a cable? I wasn't aware of any "app" used for that on any TV... I just switch the input with the remote to like HDMI/component/RF/etc. and the normal android tv interface goes away completely.

  • What "TV app" is this exactly? I've never seen or heard of that before, and none of my google/android TVs or dongles have anything like that.

    Also what make and model TV is this?

  • By "default app" I assume you mean the launcher. Just google for "android tv launcher".

    If by "plain satellite TV" mean using one of the input sources on the TV (like HDMI, component, RF etc.)... this is unrelated to the launcher and would still work regardless of which one you used.

  • How would you know?

    You probably wouldn't have heard about it simply because it's illegal to publicize a secret subpoena/warrant. Such orders are given as National Security Letters with a permanent gag order, going so far as to preventing the recipient from even seeking counsel; it's a massive abuse of power and due process in the US to get companies to lie and do whatever they want.

  • I don't consider those to be useful anymore because a court can compel them to keep the canary up in secret, and I'm pretty sure that's already happened more than once before.

  • To be fair, nobody of any political stance did anything about it whatsoever.

  • I think real intelligence by definition requires empathy and humility, which is typically the opposite of such dogmatism in my opinion.

  • Yes but I think you still need a unique fingerprint in order to tie that data to a single person... and there are much less people who use ad-blockers than those who don't, so to me it's an extra bit of identifying information; obviously this puts the privacy-conscious user in a difficult position and I don't know that there's a perfect answer.

  • why change the title

    As I mentioned, I felt it was more transparent to say where the money comes from and let people draw their own conclusions. Of course there will always be dissenting opinions no matter which title is used, I think that just comes with the territory, and I'm ok with that; I don't think there is a single right or wrong answer. I'm sorry that you disagree with my choice. I encourage you to make similar posts wherever you'd like with your own desired title.

    Thank you for your perspective.

  • I don't think it was meant exactly that literally. If you use online banking then of course you have to allow whatever they require for it to work. But for non-necessary services that have an account feature... any time you use those of course will have more of your information out there to sell and track.

  • In the context of fingerprinting I disagree. The vast majority of the world population do NOT use an ad-blocker (supposedly maybe 15% do at most)... so having an adblocker can be used to narrow you down even more IMO. Many extensions can have this issue afaik, especially if it modifies the DOM.

  • Original title was "F-Droid Awarded Open Technology Fund's FOSS Sustainability Grant". Not trying to be tinfoily but I thought it would have been even more irresponsible to not make it clear where the money really comes from as I think most people aren't aware.

    Either way, please do your own research and draw your own conclusions and I promise I have no intentional agenda in reporting this... besides transparency.
