@kyle sure, I've send you a pm on there.
@kyle hahah isee, BTW, your with the purism team right? I would like to discuss some concerns I have about the librem 5, could I pm you anywhere on here to discuss it(if your interested in discussing it at all of course).
@kyle can't be that bad can it?
@greyor @switchingsocial@mastodon.at for android, privacytools.io recommends bromite.
@switchingsocial@mastodon.at we at privacytools.io have chosen to no longer recommend brave as well. We are still researching chromium based alternatives on desktop though.
@trwnh @nikolal again, your over blowing this whole issue, till today I haven't even herd gimp was a curse word at all. Again changing your name just because people utilize it as a curse word is not realistic. Like what, if people start using the name Linux as a sysnonym for the word moron, should we start naming the entire Linux foundation + kernel as well?

@nikolal @blacklight447 ok, now think outside of the "image editing community".
@trwnh @nikolal what would be more important: brand recognition build it over 25 years, or keeping 2/3 people on the internet satisfied, I would know what I would choose. Look I get that you can't go offending people, but you can't just keep changing your name every time a few people online use it as a curse word. That's not realistic.

The Internet service providers of Hong Kong condemned government threats to block social media services. https://www.hkispa.org.hk/139-urgent-statement-of-hkispa-on-selective-blocking-of-internet-services.html We echo their call to keep the Internet open. Freedom of speech is a basic human right—and our service will ensure private and secure Internet access.
@kylejj hmmmm, I can see it, not very brightly but its there, I forwarded the feedback to dawid nonetheless, thanks for spotting!
Dear #privacytoolsio community, after quite a bit of work, #ptio now has a darkmode on the website thanks to the ongoing efforts of our valued team member Dawid Potocki.
To test it out, just go to privacytools.io and click the theme button in the top left corner :)
We have now started the discussion about our oncoming browser overhaul on #privacytoolsio. Feel free to join the discussion and share your thoughts!

@Grett the first recommendations where added a long time before most of the current team was involved. With our new criteria, we require VPN companies to be transparent who they work for and partly who they are, nordvpn is owned by a faceless company based in panama, which is why they are not listed, you can look at our recommendations and criteria at the bottem of the page :).
