If they were to be independently audited by multiple Privacy firms and/or open source their codebase I wouldnt be as concerned about giving them data and maybe even paying for something like YTPremium, but as it stands its a black box. I dont know what theyre doing, why should they get to know what I'm doing? Privacy should be a two way street imho. If the cost of privacy is that they wouldnt be able to maintain their infrastructure, I'd rather see their company fail.
Does google/patreon do country/state/county/province tax calculation? I'd be surprised as when I was working DoorDash they wouldnt even do as much as a free trial of TurboTax to get you started. The wrote you a check and it was on you to figure the rest out
Home Assistant can be used as an AIO for smart home devices. I assume OP is referring specifically to home assistant integrations that are privacy friendly such as Z-Wave and ZigBee devices that only communicate to each other locally over radio instead of over the internet to someone else's PC.
Zwave and ZigBee baby!!! It's been Awesome so far.
This isnt entirely true. They can fingerprint your browser very easily, even if you use always private sessions that delete cookies. Something as simple as the size of your window can be used to identify you.
Yeah this is also a frustration I have. I dont want to sign up for patreon or Google just to support someone. Give me a Kofi, liberapay or monero option.
None of the creators I want to follow are on peertube, and I have no social media to ask them to move, nor do I want to engage with those platforms.
Im not condoning it but you were probably born post Xbox 360 Xbox live era.
Damn dude you killed him xD
APK and play Store versions are identical. Signal runs a check for GMS/GFS and if that Check returns true uses firebase. If not it uses WebSocket. Signal-FOSS on TwinHelix removes GMS/GSF dependencies though, and Molly-UP actually integrates a way for you to use your own push Server.
Edit: Also if you use MicroG without push notifications enabled default Signal is just broken last I checked.
Gonna be honest I'd much prefer Signal to take off in this regard. In the US iMessage is the closest widely excepted equivalent, but if I'm gonna do WiFi IM, I want to know it is 100% verifiably private. Otherwise I might as well be using SMS/MMS.
