What’s your experience with using mysudo/voip numbers in terms of services accepting them (e.g. Google)? And socially, can you do regular calls with these numbers? Any audio delays?
(copied my comment for the top context comment but the other person hasn’t answered yet, wanted to get some info on these kinds of services first hand)
I think there’s misconceptions, trust being put in the wrong place, unawareness involved, or simply they don’t think it through, rather than not caring (anectodal/IMO). E.g. “I don’t have anything to hide, so what if they collect everything”.
If we could build a tool to gather such info, that’s easily accessible and for free, to show all the data available on you in the marketplace - that might make them uncomfortable. And then perhaps they’ll start to try and understand why they’re uncomfortable, and why this is bad.
I feel like there needs to be an incentive in mind for those apps to bring in ppl. People care about privacy but won’t even delete FB, let alone use a different messaging app

If they win there then that’ll help with other cases, I think
It’s the video comment I replied to, the link under “Sorry”

https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/4_freedoms
These are the 4 Freedoms of open source software - which OSE applies to open source hardware and other products in general. These are the freedoms to inspect, use, modify, and sell.
> The freedom to inspect or view. In software, this came from the freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish . Access to the source code is a precondition for this - such as FreeCAD files, text documents, spreadsheets, calculations, instructions, etc.
The freedom to use. Run or otherwise execute the software, product, or process. You may be charged for using the thing. But this is a moot point, because as soon as someone buys it, it can be released for free.
The freedom to modify. This is a big point: making improvements or adaptation is a key to distributing value.
Economic freedom. The freedom to distribute or sell. Freedom distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
What’s the pushback against it? I like that you can modify and publish version of it as long as it’s noncommercial
Edit: I don’t understand the down votes, I’m trying to learn - what are the downsides of this thatkmake so unpopular?
Not at all actually, maybe for my parents
Been using buckwheat pillows since I was a kid, they’re awesome
Do you game with friends? If so, what do you use instead of discord?
Then you would reset the count, so as ling as you don’t stop eating it you can eat an infinite amount
I feel like “threat model” can distance people away from privacy communities, i.e. thinking you need a threat to get privacy. I certainly avoid using it because of that opinion. I wish there was a more approachable non-security term for it, like “data priority” or something like that.
Again, just my opinion and how I react to hearing “threat model” (as a privacy advocate myself).
But for some reason they don’t develop features for e2ee like the other chats. Perhaps it’s just hard
Sometimes even anything other than SMS kn the US because ppl just assume everyone have iPhones

Right. I’m considering trying out voip numbers but concerned about these disadvantages. Not that I call much anyways, just don’t want to make a frustrating calling experience more frustrating lol
