  • I don’t view using a FOSS frontend equating to logging into an account on a server running proprietary code. Using NewPipe is one thing, but if it was possible, using NewPipe o login to Google account is another.

    For example I refuse to use Proton VPN, I use Riseup VPN because the server for Riseup is open source.

    In my own opinion, I believe Protonmail not publishing email server source code and publishing Protonmail app source code is stopping it from having a massively larger popularity.

    OpenBSD is proof that security can be achieved through engineering open source code that is standards or protocol compliant and not by depending on proprietary code.








  • Ads on a login screen? That’s disturbing.

    For people automatically saying to switch to Linux, it’s because they have never had a job in tech to know it doesn’t work that way, and have never worked in production. There are several industries where if you don’t run Windows you can’t have a job because all of the software is only designed to run on Windows in their industry.
