I wonder how this potential diaspora of repos from Github may affect some package distributions that are merely pointing the application to be compiled like is the case in some AUR application. Will it generate quite a lot of overhead for AUR maintainers?

Isn’t there a way to use Jitsi with Zullip for audio?

What about Fractal? It even have a flatpak https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal

Is there some way to make the Apple TV to work with Stremio torrenting files?

I just want to add that keeping the Nvidia Shield in a guest WiFi, in your home router, can strength even further your privacy.

Yeah, but people wouldn’t use MS Word to send emails, respond forum messages, transfer their logical thinking and interpretation. That is not about another previous tool that was used to do grammar corrections. You are missing the whole point of what I criticized with skepticism/scepticisms (not sure if you’re Brit or American).

2025 the year that I can’t stand a text that has this " — "

I see that Windscribe was included. Their price tier is always in promotion so I’d take that in consideration.

Also, they have app for Linux: https://windscribe.com/features/linux/

It is not in Electron like many others. It is native Linux.

NymVPN doesn’t supports it. I asked their support. They have plans for the future.

If you are looking for reliable port forwarding consider Windscribe VPN.

There is the option to stream

I meant that this is the Achilles heels. A lot of us have it. It has the meta AI on it that we can’t deactivated. It is EEE and GOS does a good job isolating it but still a non privacy app.

You mean the Kryptonite? That is what kills a lot of privacy setups.

Not opposed to the overall message but for the national security letter it worth remind people that the communication is E2EE, before propagating some certain level of panic.

Not sure why this got downvoted. Was there any real proofs that WhatsApp msgs can get decrypted and read by the central server?

Besides the AI shit that is optional. Not advocating for WhatsApp but we need to keep the conspiracy theory out of the equation.

Could web key directory be adopted for cross platform communication?

Funkwhale may worth a look: https://www.funkwhale.audio/ I used for quite some time and was nice, the main issue was the unmaintained Android app.

I’ll get downvoted but to find music and have a tiny hair of privacy Apple Music may be efficient for the mainstream audience.

I download the audio that I like and store in a local server but I can’t expect every person in the world doing the same.

We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term “leagues ahead” in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don’t believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.

People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.

A significant security drawback with many alternative Android operating systems is that they either require or are commonly used with root access, which inherently weakens the device’s security model. GrapheneOS, by contrast, is designed to be used without root access. Traditional root implementations fundamentally compromise Android’s security mechanisms like verified boot, app sandboxing, and the principle of least privilege, making the device much more vulnerable to exploitation.

Google turning Pixels more and more complicated to have alternative OS isn’t a good sign. I hope GrapheneOS come up with a open source and secure phone alternative. Fairphone or TeraCubes using alternative OSes aren’t private or secure enough. I hate to say that but if I would be in the market today for a phone I’d be considering an IPhone.

Do you have a Netflix plugin 4K setup working?

I ask because even in the plugin page there are a few indications contradictory that indicates otherwise:

First is the warning in the main page: “DUE TO CHANGES TO THE WEBSITE THAT PREVENT THE PROPER PLAYBACK OF VIDEOS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADD-ON HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. THE VIDEO PLAYBACK, WHEN IT WORKS, IS LIMITED TO SD QUALITY AND ONLY ON SOME LINUX/ANDROID DEVICES.”

Second in the section “Reference table of high resolution” there is a footnote saying the following: “*4 Hardware decoding and 4k are supported only to devices with Netflix certification, Widevine Security Level L1 and HDCP 2.2 hardware.”

Third in the list of 1080P 4k Android tested devices we see basically only Netflix approved devices: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/wiki/List-of-1080P-4k-Android-tested-devices
