In most countries (eg Europe, US, Brazil, China, etc.) it's not the case and you have to give your ID (or some sort of identifier linked to your real identity) to get a SIM card or…

Agreed. On the long-term, Apple is the one which might harm Privacy the most because they will kill the real Privacy alternatives by pretending they are one. People use Google & Fa…

But before anonymity was allowed, so all this toxicity & harassment didn't hurt too much because you could just create a new identity, start again, and it would go away. Today most…

Totally agree. Maybe GPC could become that one day ? https://spreadprivacy.com/global-privacy-control-enabled-by-... It kind of seems like a second attempt to the do-not-track swit…

ArmorPaint, and it has a beautiful UI

The same reason Firefox and Safari don't use Google V8 & Blink. They (mostly Safari) are the only opposition to Google monopolistic control on the web. You will always be under con…

Because this era of "separate parts" comes to an end. Now everything is single SoC that are only compatible with big tech proprietary OS. Google has on purpose made Android differe…

I am not convinced this is true. The reason Mozilla has not text-to-speech is because the guy behind RNNoise and LPCSpeech (JM Valin) has been bought by Amazon so that they can bui…

Maybe it's biased from my personal experience but I feel people overestimate the importance of the engine features for big games. When you do big games, you often write everything …

Thank you. It's crazy nobody cares about this kind of practice. None of my friends would have noticed what you noticed. I guess social networks with "likes" were the first step and…

It might be a stretch , but isn't it kind of the same idea as why ECS is faster than OO in video games development ?

That seems totally fair, thanks for your response. If the core is powerful thx to the choice of tech while plugins can be contributed easily then it sounds like a great plan !

Really cool. I think using standard JS or TS with a standard UI framework (like Vue, React, Svelte, etc.) would have attracted more contributors than Clojure. But otherwise , I'm r…

Yes exactly, it's always a big debate every time a new features is needed whereas it should be Wayland protocol or Dbus. Gnome people push for everything Dbus, and many Wayland dev…

I have tried using wlroots, it's very hard. If you had to build your own compositor Mutter is far easier (it provides a GUI toolkit and all you need graphic wise). QTWayland is ver…

Yes that's totally true. But first Google doesn't really portray themselves as a "Privacy respecting" alternative. And second, it's not because other companies are doing similar ab…

It's like someone beating you with a stick, and then they stop and you're like "Thank you for stopping beating me". It is crazy that a company that brags about privacy had a cross-…

I'm not sure what you call "client-side encryption". As far as I know, ICloud is not end-to-end encrypted, so Apple can read anything on your ICloud if they want to.

My personal dream stack is having the best of Guix and Flatpak. Flatpak is sandboxed with clear APIs & portal which is absolutely necessary (even for FOSS app, for eg. if Firefox h…

No, decent app sandboxing would prevent that.

I don't think that Signal which is refusing forks or third party clients is any better aligned with the FOSS spirit.. https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco..…
