Haven’t heard of Tuta Mail, I’l be sure to look into it. Already in the process (mentally) to transition to Mullvad. The lack of port forwarding is a shame but their privacy and security is on another level.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Edit: All clients are OSS??? That’s amazing!!!

I think I love you.

For starters I’d recommend FreshRSS to selfhost your RSS feeds https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS

And for the creation of one I’d recommend looking into RSS-Bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge?tab=readme-ov-file

RSS-Bridge lets you make RSS feeds for sites that don’t have one.

This. Don’t let AI or AI posters know that you caught on. Just report them and be on your way.

Honestly same! I was ready to delete my Pixelfeed account after having read all thatlbut I have high hopes that a turnaround comes. Here’s to hoping 🤞

It would seem I forgot to add the /s

In any case, I’m simply disappointed in his choices for not open sourcing software that would undoubtedly march on in terms of progress at light speed if fully FOSS.

I hope he learns to hone his ego, it’s within and without. I just hope he comes to his senses and begins to work with devs who are desperate to get a peak at the closed source portions of his sofware. - By open sourcing any blackboxed software.

Heads up @dansup@lemmy.world the creator of these apps refuses to open source the projects stating (Loops):

Not until it’s stable

Anyone who’s followed any project of any kind knows that this is just a formal way of saying they just won’t do it.

Not only is it not truly OSS, but he’s a bit of dick. Like weirdly so. Banning people for reverse engineering the API, creating a poll on whether or not ads should be introduced (only to 180 on the matter claiming the poll was a joke but also emphasizing that the poll was in favor of ads)

On the plus side he dislikes Trump, so there’s that I guess.

In any case I highly recommend people read this comment and the sources linked:

After reading through this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?

It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.

This is the main cause for every country that refuses the migrants, who the heck would want militaty planes to enter their air space?

If he really wants to do this he’ll send them over in civilian planes not military ones…

10000% This. Using Paypal for buying on sites like Ebay is the way to go in terms of consumer protection. If a seller doesn’t take PP then fuck 'em

ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Allllrighty then

What are some good examples of apks to use in regards to this use-case?

Care to elaborate? Genuinely i interested as to why that is

So this means we did get the first female president! Yippee

So… how is the hotdog?

If you’re privacy & security centered do NOT go with Calyx. They still use several g**gle services underneath it all. Graphene is the way to go, and no they are not affiliated with Copperhead (The one who proudly states they work with Raytheon) TLDR copperhead tried to take over Graphene but failed.

Also regarding rumors of it being a FBI honeypot, the feds advertised the backdoored phone /OS as being Graphene itself - or at the very least based on it in some way. It is not.

Just remember to use a oem unlocked android device. Carrier locked phones are often times luck-based in terms of getting it OEM unlocked. Often times they are literally impossible to get unlocked. Support CAN do it and HAVE THE TOOLS to unlock it for you but more often then not… they won’t.

Don’t get me wrong, Calyx without micro g (F-Droid + Obtainium) is a fantastic option plus it’s compatible with a wide range of devices -just not as secure is all.

It’s ironic, using a g**gle phone for privacy. Different strokes for different folks.
