I don;t know about your friends but I had the glum task of removing a Misfits patch from my battle jacket when I found that out :(

It’s a great video but it overemphasis the ubiquitousness of interoperability quite a lot. But its still good to see a well designed campaign video on the subject.

Thats just the main instance, there’s a list of public instances there too. I don’t think development is stopping, just hosting an instance

In terms of code? No, I haven’t had a look at yours. But for Destiny its totally clear what it does - p2p encrypted device to device file transfer. I had a look at your website and - I should say I’m not trying to be rude - i’m not 100% sure what yours does…its called glitr cloud but also that its p2p? Further down the page there’s a series of screenshots that show…what?

I’ve also read the comments on here and it seems its not open source? And it won’t be available on f-droid? But you do have a git repo link, although there’s nothing called glitr on it.

Overall, I’m totally confused about what this is, who you are (as an org) and why it matters. With Destiny, I can download the app on all my devices and transfer instantly. I can ask friends to and give them a code to access what I share. Or I could use send.vis.ee if I didnt want to leave Destiny running for my friend.

Its great to have options but I don’t really know what yours does or why I should think its better.

IVPN don’t allow port forwarding either.

I realise port forwarding is something lots of people want but the reasons are nothing to do with privacy. Mullvad remains, in my opinion, the best solution for those whose priority is privacy.

I’ve yet to find something more straightforward to use than Destiny.

But its impossible to not notice! Or find aggravating!

Makes sense, thanks.

I promise this is genuine curiosity, not snark, but what’s the benefit/point to tracking ones pet?

I’ll miss the ability to buy using cash-bought gift vouchers as that seems the only straightforward way to preserve privacy.

No, no, I’m saying it should have been reported there and I don’t get why they didn’t share it.

On the face of it, that is a massive own goal. TOR project surely has a fediverse account or a blog or something to announce these things. This should be common knowledge.

Not to recommend as I don’t use them (I use LW and Mullvad - and Ironfox on mobile - all of which might give you the same issues you have with LW) but I’ve heard people mention Mercury, Floorp and Waterfox as being good privacy focused alternatives.

It’s specifically forked to be the most privacy respecting non-Tor browser out there. The extreme privacy is the point of it. I’m not sure what it is you want but its not LW - and thats fine, use another fork instead.

FairEmail has a good reputation.

Depends on your threat model - mine is to make it as annoying and difficult for data sellers and advertisers to profile me as possible so in that scenario a reputable VPN service makes perfect sense.

There’s no such thing as total privacy and each service/software is simply a piece of the puzzle. If my government really wanted my data I’m sure they could find a way but making it as difficult as possible for techno-fascists is fine by me.

Thats a good point, I might set that up myself!

At the moment I do a once-a-week encrypted export from BitWarden and Aegis (authenticator) and put those exports onto an encrypted USB pen drive to avoid the issues you mention but I think your way is probably better.
