Do we know the reasoning behind the bias?

I don't understand how gnucash is more critical than Arduino, wine or nginx. Is gnucash very widely used?

Exactly. Besides privacy and obvious web-centralization issues, there are bunch of security issues associated with proxying the traffic. Apple and Mozilla brought these issues to t…

I commented on [1] too, but it's worth mentioning here as well as it clearly shows the stark difference between Google and Apple/Cloudflare. Apple/Cloudflare are working on privacy…

How do you guarantee anonymity to the users filling out the survey? The surveyor could send different increment URLs to different users.

They could use video conferencing.

That's a very "brave" position. We will show you ads without following laws of the land (Ctrl-F "FTC" in the github thread). If the user falls for our unlawlful ads, then it's the …

Does anybody has examples of websites that do this? It would be useful to see this in action.
