It’s not harming anyone. You can still install FDroid as you wish.

Likewise you can choose not to install closed-source apps.

No, it’s misconception. Optionally free Is not enough.

F-Droid does need to improve its approach to security. I can see why projects don’t promote it as a default.

I agree, F-droid hat its problems that have to be solved, but still, F-droid needs help, not a replacement.

Canvas Blocker

It is redundant with RFP enabled.

I am a fan of Louis Rossmann.

All of the software’s code should be completely open source.

Ironic.

Moving to Brave Search from Google is just very invasive spyware to less invasive spyware.

If I’m sending encrypted mail to gmail, only that one mail is compromised once decrypted on gmail’s servers.

What? How? Most private email providers only support encryption like Proton to Proton or Tuta to Tuta. Emails sended to anything else stay unencrypted. And there’s no way you’re going to use this stupid password protection everytime, because if you do, then why would you even use email?

Do you only send mail to gmail users or something?

Almost everyone uses Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or whatever. Unfortunately, not everyone are privacy concious like you and me.

smtp is no better or worse than xmpp, irc or whatever else if you have end to end encryption.

No, it’s not. Emails should not be used by political activists to communicate. Even the best email providers like Proton or Tuta can’t give you 100% protection and this activist arrest is the perfect example.
Email is the obsolete protocol, that should only be used to register on random websites and get authorization codes. For everything else you should use secure messaging apps.

Trusting law-abiding corporations to protect your privacy is fundamentally a bad idea, and as such, promoting Proton as a private alternative to Google

You can’t trust anyone, that’s true. But self-hosting your own 100% bulletproof MailCow server on 1984 VPS, which you pay for in Monero won’t make you any more private, because emails you send still end up on Gmail inboxes.
It’s simply unneccesary for normal user with not so high threat model. And if you’re a political activist, then why even using email instead of normal privacy communication solutions like SimpleX, Session or Briar?

I think that you should look at our world realistically. You can’t just go “fuck the goverment” mode and remain active as a corporation. Proton shared as less info as possible, but they couldn’t refuse to share it at all.

lol, lmao

I assume you don’t understand how law and authorities work, if this is funny for you. Proton is still one of the best private email providers. Period.

What’s the difference between this and Sapio?
