Tbh a lot of their decisions makes it seem like they're just more interested in enterprise customers than anything else, which may be coloring their CEO's political views as well
To me, the point is less about him being MAGA and more about him alienating a massive portion of his userbase and then completely botching the PR response by doubling down and failing to apologize or seemingly even understand why what he said matters to people.
Also his either inability to understand that Gail Slater sucks complete ass or his refusal to understand that fact. A leader in privacy should not be praising someone like her and celebrating the departure of Lina Khan. The discussion about whether it's incompetence or maliciousness is less important to me.
And to repeatedly fail to update their github with the latest source code for their mobile apps, and to not have their apps on f-droid, and to not support notifications of any kind on a degoogled android OS, and to not support monero payments, and to add a Zoom button to everyone's calendar by default with no disclaimer about using Zoom, and to limit custom domain aliases.
Are you referring to their newsletter? I just set a spam filtering rule to automatically discard those. Also can you elaborate more on it being hard to cancel your subscription? I can do it very easily.
I do have my own list of complaints about Tuta, but so far they are the best I've found
or the app app lol. Tuta has apps on all platforms.
I'm such a leech :( stupid ISP data cap. I'll make it up someday
And let's be real here, most people don't need anything more than a web browser.
You would think. Surprisingly, i only know of one non techy person in my life for whom this was the case, and even they ended up needing to use some statistics software for school after switching to linux. Luckily, they were able to get it through a school-provided VM.
People have all kinds of needs and those needs can change over time. For people who are deaf in one ear, there is no easy way to set the audio output to mono. That's just one way that accessibility features are lacking. I know people who rely on apps like notability syncing their mac laptop to their ipad, which no app on linux can do. I know people who have specialized software for work such as VPN apps that simply do not exist on linux. I know people who do creative work for whom it would be a major learning curve at the very least to switch. It only takes one app or crucial feature to lock you out. Even I have to dual boot from time to time for firmware updates or to play games my friends want to play that aren't on Linux.
But you better believe I'm tracking all of these issues so I can switch people over as soon as they're implemented ;)
For those of us with GrapheneOS, you could maybe set up a different user profile solely for travel? Hopefully they wouldn't look closely enough to see that it's not the real one
Honestly I think potentially a bigger factor is that there are very few manufacturers who sell machines with linux preinstalled. Very few people have ever installed an OS before or have any desire to do so.
Also there is plenty of software with no real linux alternative even today unfortunately.
Sure, but the point of the video is that the email requirement is not that big a deal for most people
Proton will often if not always require an email or phone number for verification when signing up for a free account. It's not hard to find people complaining about this on forums.
Do you know any alternative to forgetful browsing? Basically the only thing keeping me. Just so much more convenient always-on incognito mode.
Also the fact that I can just turn off all the stuff that makes them money.
Also I don't expect manifest v2 support on ungoogled chromium to be reliable.
Edit: just remembered this exists: https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete. Currently trying it out with ironfox.
Edit2: Apparently LibreWolf has this button to add websites to the exclusion list for cookie deletion on exit if you click the lock button
you know what else slows down ambulances? Congestion
I live near a school. Cars go way too fast and blast through intersections. Impeding the flow of car traffic is exactly what we need. I'd rather not require the ambulance in the first place.
Stop spreading FUD please.
For some reason people love to shit on Brave and turn a blind eye to mistakes made by Mozilla or problems with Firefox. Brave has had missteps in the past, as many projects have. This doesn't make it "malware."
It's ok not to use it for ideological reasons - I don't like their CEO either. But that doesn't mean Brave is not a privacy browser or not a good browser.

I use this feature for snowflake
/e/ is not degoogled and security does not seem to be a priority for them. I wouldn't recommend it. See the following comments from a divestos dev:
