Problem of Proton Drive is not only in the missing linux client. There is no support of WebDAV that makes integration with many open source tools (like note taking apps or photo management tools) almost impossible. Nextcloud is much better for me. Without a WebDAV (or one of other popular APIs) it looks like an attempt to create "walled garden" with vendor-lock on Proton, imo.

I heard that in USA Telegram is used mostly by conservatives, trans-haters and drug dealers. But in Russia where I was born and where I have been living until the war, Telegram was a single source of alternative news and the main tool for opposition to putin. I had a talk with an Iranian guy recently and he told me the same: in Iran Telegram is the only source of non-state-propaganda news.

I do not care that Durov is just a billionaire who makes money on the trend of privacy. But I remember how Telegram successfully fought against attempt of blocking in Russia in 2018 by providing regular updates and using different techniques to avoid blocking. An attack on Telegram for me is an attack on the latest opposition to putin, khamenei, lukashenko and others.

That is what I need! Unfortunately, it is for US only... Is there, maybe, something similar in European region?

Unfortunately there are a very small amount of places when I can pay with crypto... I do not want to face also questions from AML officers. I'm not a journalist in the dangerous country or political activist, so Monero looks like an overhead for me.

 

After reading such news I have an obvious question. Does anyone know a PayPal-like service, that allows to hide the destination of my transactions from Mastercard / bank, but with a good privacy policy? Or how else can I restrict the usage of my financial data by mastercard or bank?

Mozilla has a very good reputation of the privacy oriented company. I believe that they can make an advertisements with a human face. And it will be very cool, if Mozilla will be able to become independent from Google's donations.

What is wrong with an existing FreeCAD? It seemed to me that the project is very active

They are just trying to maintain an image!

Is it a wrapper on top of datafusion, but with an ability to define transformations in yaml? I mean it looks really cool, I'm just trying to understand the usecase

Did you read the article? It is about people arrested by Israel's officials. Some of them are released after without being even tried. Sometimes they are released without a leg, for example, because in Israel's hospitals they did not gave him treatment. How a person, who is shakled to the hospital bed can "just go to Egypt"?

The problem is that personalization of search results tends to information bubbles. That is the reason why I prefer DDG over Google.

Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched. Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away.

Does it mean, that "Google AI" will running 24/7 in background, measuring how I use my phone, with an access to accelerometers data and location data?

 

I have my personal blog, made with Hugo and hosted on GitHub pages. Initially I did not turn on any kind of web tracking / web analytics, because I do not like tracking at all. But I want to make my blog better and to achieve it, I need a feedback loop about traffic. For example, what are the most popular publications, or how many people view my blog from mobile devices, etc.

So, my question is, what is the most appropriate (ot the less evil) way to track a web traffic?

An answer "there is no good way to do it without breaking user's privacy" is acceptable too, I did not decide yet turning on the analytics. Instead I'm interested in an opinion of the community.

Thanks in advance!

 

Is there any android app or web app with movie ratings and reviews? Android app would be better. Alternative to imdb? I want to be able to fast check the rating of movie or list of actors. I know about wikipedia app but it's interface is not focused on movies. Thanks in advance!
