I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the "Guardian" repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Well, fuck you, Cooler Master.

As soon as I turned my VPN off I was able to successfully send my RMA request.

Down 33%, the total was the first decline since GDPR went into enforcement, largely due to 2023’s record-setting fine versus Meta.

I came across this neat interactive spectrum on privacy. A decent insight into the depths you can go to achieve your privacy goals with examples.

Palms were offline devices that only synced with your computer when put on a docking station.

You could read and reply to emails offline, book or cancel meetings, and sync with your computer later. The latest versions allowed you to snap pictures and listen to your music.

No servers running constantly. No data spilled everywhere. Days worth of battery on a single charge.

The future stole our cables, and it took our attention span and our privacy with it.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know from Tuta users, why do you prefer it to proton?

Personally i use proton however after the recent fiasco it has inspired me to look beyond, and Tuta is a very popular option.

My question is: Why? Proton so far hasn't failed me, only disappointed. Is there any reason for me to switch to tuta in this case?

Peace to you all ✌️
