You are mistaking what I am saying. I have nothing against the project as whole and the mission is fantastic.

They just have zero PR skills, don’t know when to keep their mouth shut or how to communicate properly when they need to. A little bit of consultation would go a long way for them. Obviously I am not expecting Google levels of PR/marketing, but it’s not great to see just ranting Discord/matrix messages. If it wasn’t an issue, these posts wouldn’t exist at all.

GrapheneOS has always had a massive PR problem and crazy leadership unfortunately.

I think they would implode if we went back to signing up to multiple different forums. The internet is just a vastly different place than it was 20 years ago. It’s very consolidated now and that sucks.

Dont use brave, use uBlock Origin and Firefox.

Or FreeTube on Desktop.

For mobile, NewPipe or one of its forks, e.g. PipePipe for SponsorBlock too.

And remained on a blacklist anyway.

I find when using Mullvad a lot of sites are blocked vs other VPNs. Are all their IPs on a blacklist somewhere?

They are unfocused. Spreading themselves thin over many products instead of focusing on the core that got them to where they are.

It’s a shame to see.

I’ll take function over form. NewPipe has everything where you need it without excessively large thumbnails or text. LibreTube suffers from “modern” web design principles, where using more screen space to show less information is #1.

NewPipe or a fork for YT, has a better UI than LibreTube.

All data is routed through somewhere you don’t have control over at some point. If everything is encrypted then you are fine. You could setup a vps and proxy through that instead of Cloudflare, but you are just relying on the vps provider to protect any data/not snoop then rather than Cloudflare.

The only real way to be completely private is to just avoid connecting to the internet at all, but that’s not really feasible. Just get to a point where you are comfortable, you’ve already done more than most to protect yourself (as much as you can without it getting silly anyway). Good job!

I miss websites with simple text, links and graphics. We could navigate them perfectly fine without any JS, any dropdowns or whatever. They just displayed the information you came for, nothing extra.

I understand you want to make money from this, but for privately sending files, the much more mature and free open source projects will be greatly preferred. So I dont see this app going anywhere. Closed source doesn’t lend itself to privacy all that well. Gl.

So it’s like croc, but closed source?

Lemmy.world is the worst offender I have come across personally. Lemmy.ml is reddit like too, but it’s mostly okay for discussion and it hosts a lot of posts so I don’t really want to block it.

What the echo chamber of reddit doesnt have critical thinking? Well I never…

Maybe. For me the worst change they made was removing custom colours for my contacts.

It was so much easier to convince people to use Signal when it had SMS support. I think while Signal needed to drop it, it wasn’t the time yet.

Them being portable makes them actually useful though for me, unless there was a way to use them from a phone to login to a website on a desktop/other device.

Being able to login into a password manager and use a passkey is great, passkeys need to become mainstream to get everyone away from passwords, but they can’t be locked locally onto one platform or you have issues. The regular joe won’t be backing them up from their iPhones or whatever.

I don’t see why a local option wouldn’t exist though, perhaps they will come once passkeys have matured further.

Jorji?

Guys, stop falling for the obvious bait in the comments.

“Works fine for me”

League just doesn’t have that many ‘traditional’ cheaters and the game lends itself to server-side AC way more than most. The cheaters in League are more often win-traders at high elos and smurfs in low elos. Also lots of feeding and trolling. So I have no idea why they are adding Vanguard, a good reason to stop playing the game though.

League has a much bigger problem with smurfs and toxic behaviour than it does cheaters to be fair. Adding kernel anticheat to it is strange. There’s lots of account buying, sharing, win trading etc that is more prevalent and something vanguard cant fix, but Riot have never been good at focusing their efforts.

They are just looking for an argument/confrontation. It’s why I didn’t respond further.

There’s still plenty of BF3 servers popping. Unfortunately not a lot of rush. Rush made that game, but for some reason people want to play conquest on it instead…

Yup. But its the latest ‘buzzword’ in anti-cheat, so we keep getting more of them instead of time being spent developing other potential solutions.

What do you think, considering I was replying to a comment with a proposed solution?

Kernel level AC has got to go, any sort of invasive AC does.

There’s a lot of companies that violate GDPR, but people generally don’t complain, so they get away with it.
