9 days agoI think its great that Europe is looking to rely less on US tech but nothing about whats going on with Europe (especially within the EU) makes me think privacy is a focus.

The obvious alternative would be Jami
Yes.
Eventually there will be a non pixel phone that works with grapheneos. This has already been announced.
1·19 days agoI don’t think so. There is a thread on the official forums about it from 2023 which indicates it can only read replay gain tags from third party software.
I agree but it is a complaint I’ve read multiple times.
I don’t think wanting people to suffer is a great goal but to each their own.
To be fair, building the binary is the same regardless of OS. The creator just decided to send the windows and Mac binaries off to a third party server and then paywall access. You can see this in the build.yml of the original repo.
Personally I like it because it makes managing my music library really easy. Especially when it comes to keeping everything organized in a way my Plex server likes as well.
It really depends on the individual. Some people really hate the outdated looking UI and don’t have much use for the audiophile features.
Crazy people love to sprinkle in anti semitism in their rants.
Like I said, maybe it worth it to you. Some people commenting like a distress pin is some sort of pancea.
That is highly dependant on the country you do it in.
People, if you are taken into custody and are forced to unlock the phone and you wipe the phone instead, you are living in a fantasy world if you think you can’t get in trouble for that.
Maybe that’s worth it but let’s not kid ourselves that there wouldn’t be consequences.
Remember plausible deniability is a social concept not a legal one. It might of helped you get out of being grounded but it won’t save you from jail time.
Why? Both of those options are worse. You can’t be a privacy respecting service and not allow VPNs. If you do allow VPNs, it is going to force you to sometimes blanket ban an IP because bad actors use VPNs as well.
Typically this only happens on free VPN servers because people who abuse these services also realize they are going to get banned. The easiest solution is to use a premium VPN or signup with your actual IP address (depending on your threat model).
My guess is that whatever VPN server your connected to had someone else who was spamming or doing something else they weren’t supposed to. This caused the email addresses associated with that IP to be flagged.
One of the drawbacks to a VPN is you share your IP with strangers who sometimes do stuff you get penalized for.
The protocol is cool, the implementation becoming proprietary and enshittified is a bummer.
I still pay even though I pirate. Debrid service, Usenet etc.
It’s always been a service issue not a money issue for me. I realize not everyone has the luxury of that issue.
Right now I’m paying about $6/month. I could always reduce it to 0 but at this price the extra QOL features are worth it.
Lol Meta literally torrented 81 TB of data from the site. Stop with this “degrees of compression” bs
Stunner legal entity follows the law…
Fellas your VPN is not going to break the law for you.
It hasn’t stopped countries like France, and Italy (not a complete list just examples) from being some of the least privacy friendly western governments.
