ok first off, this community is about self-hosting, there just happens to be a lot of overlap between people who self-host and people who care about privacy.

And if you thought privacy was about distrust, that is a very unhealthy view. Privacy-minded folk simply have different principles than the mainstream. But if somebody comes along that shares those principles, then trust can be earned.

OP’s product is open-source and self-hostable. This is aligned with the community. I’m not saying to throw money at the product before it’s released, but it’s worth keeping an eye on, and showing support for.

Ok so you’re a troll then. Fearmongering doesn’t help the community. If you’re against something give evidence. There’s a balance between fearmongering and blind hype.

this reply adds nothing. Please explain your position

You don’t have to pre-order, just wait until it’s released and buy it then. And in this case you can get a raspi and test the product for yourself, so why spread FUD?

Matrix. Bitwarden. Nextcloud. There are many examples of open-source, self-hosted applications that have for-profit companies that offer to host them for you as a service. Now if you use one of those Nextcloud providers to store your notes, can that providers read all your data? Of course. But for people who don’t want to self-host, it’s often a more trusted option than Google.

there’s something like that in Bazzite! If you go to the menu -> system settings -> language -> keyboard, then physically unplug the keyboard, the keyboard should now be disabled!

These comments are why privacy products will always be behind. Why open-source is full of dead projects. These people are just trying to make a living off making privacy-focused products. And all the comments are like “They’re a for-profit company? They had marketing material prepped to reply to people’s comments?!”.

The code is open-source, self-hostable, built using commodity hardware (raspi), and they’re just trying to make it sustainable by providing an optional paid service. This is not the enemy.

I think they’re just a privacy-focused startup that just wants to make a living off their work

my experience with these kinds of hobby scripts, is that they often don’t work, and it’s more work troubleshooting it than just installing things manually

I believe the UK too

I remember hearing the opposite, that strikes with a set duration were ineffective because management could just wait it out…

Second this one. I watched it months ago and still think about it. Be careful when you look it up. Tons of spoilers everywhere. At most just watch the official trailer (don’t read the comments) and decide if you want to watch it. It’s about a son with schizophrenia and his mother

how many countries has Signal pulled out of so far? I keep hearing about it

gp comment knows that, they were saying that sometimes such authenticity can be excessive. For example crooked teeth was also much more common back then, but we aren’t rallying for studios to start adding CGI crooked teeth

If they got their hands on a machine would they be able to replicate it? If it was such a massive advantage I imagine they would just take one by force, I mean look at how the US just took out two national leaders

I’m surprised they can’t just smuggle the chip designs and factory designs from Taiwan, they’re so close

We probably just bred them that way. Unmanageable dogs were undesirable and bred out

You can’t just throw a 30 minute youtube link and expect people to watch it. At least give a gist of your point, and provide the video as extra context/depth.

very cool, I’ll have to look more into it

And they already do. Their mail service is more private than the other options. It would help if you outlined what you want
