Do you suppose if we keep giving into the demands of a fascist that he'll stop making demands?
For anyone with any inclination to believe the marketing that megacorpos will stand for some kind of lofty techno-libertarian ideal of somehow standing up to strongmen tyrannical governments...
I wish to remind us all of how IBM acted in WWII
And on the surface, corporations pretended to have more respect and decorum back then! Now the mask is off and they know nobody will touch them.
This would be cool - spread it across multiple platforms, repositories, ect. It'll be nearly impossible to get rid of as long as the API isn't targeted itself. Trusting apple/google is a losing game in the long run. FOSS
Honestly, it should be a Signal bot. Self hostable, or with a website somewhere outside the US run by someone who is never coming here, if your group is not into doing self hosting. We should be in this for the long haul and encouraging good practices, I think. It freaks me out that people are using Reddit for 50501 and putting this stuff on their phones where they can see who has it installed.
Apple cares about your privacy though. Every fanboy simp always says it, so it's definitely true.
No one cares about our privacy. Even us.
I do 🫤
Do you use any Google products or products that were influenced in their production by Google, like android based systems including GrapheneOS, or any browser that uses blink/chromium like Brave?

Why why?
