In terms of code? No, I haven’t had a look at yours. But for Destiny its totally clear what it does - p2p encrypted device to device file transfer. I had a look at your website and - I should say I’m not trying to be rude - i’m not 100% sure what yours does…its called glitr cloud but also that its p2p? Further down the page there’s a series of screenshots that show…what?

I’ve also read the comments on here and it seems its not open source? And it won’t be available on f-droid? But you do have a git repo link, although there’s nothing called glitr on it.

Overall, I’m totally confused about what this is, who you are (as an org) and why it matters. With Destiny, I can download the app on all my devices and transfer instantly. I can ask friends to and give them a code to access what I share. Or I could use send.vis.ee if I didnt want to leave Destiny running for my friend.

Its great to have options but I don’t really know what yours does or why I should think its better.

IVPN don’t allow port forwarding either.

I realise port forwarding is something lots of people want but the reasons are nothing to do with privacy. Mullvad remains, in my opinion, the best solution for those whose priority is privacy.

I’ve yet to find something more straightforward to use than Destiny.

Thunderbird Pro will apparently be:

This email thing plus Thunderbird Send (which is basically https://send.vis.ee/), Thunderbird Appointment - a scheduling tool and Thunderbird Assist, which is:

“…at least for now, being cautiously labeled as “an experiment” that will allow users to take advantage of AI features within their email. However, the goal is to be lightweight enough that the language models can be run locally on a user’s PC in the interest of privacy. This service is being developed in partnership with Flower AI, which leverages Nvidia’s confidential compute to provide private remote processing in the event a user’s PC isn’t powerful enough. Sipes emphasizes that any remote processing features attached to Thunderbird Assist will always be optional, in the interest of ensuring complete user privacy.”

So AI shit that nobody asked for or wants.

Its fine - the loss will be covered by the millions pushed into Victorian levels of poverty via his recent welfare cuts. After all, those billionaires really deserve another private jet.

Makes sense, thanks.

I promise this is genuine curiosity, not snark, but what’s the benefit/point to tracking ones pet?

I’ll miss the ability to buy using cash-bought gift vouchers as that seems the only straightforward way to preserve privacy.

No, no, I’m saying it should have been reported there and I don’t get why they didn’t share it.

On the face of it, that is a massive own goal. TOR project surely has a fediverse account or a blog or something to announce these things. This should be common knowledge.

“strange track records”

They’re obvious Russian assets…

“problem on the intelligence front”

…who will pass on the names of all our spies and assignments to Putin…

Intelligence sharing would continue “even if at the top level there might be things we might wish to be circumspect about”.

…so we’re going to bullshit them and not tell them the important stuff.

Techbro led gvmt - move fast, break stuff. Chaos leads to opportunity to profit, by which I mean him and his class to profit.

Lots here too.

‘Better’ is relative :) is it better than using something like SearXNG? No. But for those people who insist on using Google, its better to do a proxied search than a first-hand one. Mullvad are European, are one of the very few orgs I personally think are trustable and have shown no signs of enshittification, Leta has been audited by a 3rd party - for those looking for a private Google experience this is about the best there is.

Leaving notes…committing genocide, yeah they’re interchangeable really.

I don’t think any of them give two shits about pushback. Unless that pushback takes the form of forcible removal from power, they wont care in any way.

The trouble is that the problem is not confined to just Trump. If he dies, Vance becomes president. If they both die, Mike Johnson does. This is not a coup by a single person, this is an entire philosophy - neo-fascism - thats now in charge of the US. Its goose-stepping turtles all the way down.

FairEmail has a good reputation.
