The man who oversaw the Top Secret investigation into my work in exposing the NSA's unconstitutional system of mass surveillance now believes "we are in a better place" because I came forward. He disputes the methods, but admits it was net-good.
In another decade, I'll be home. https://twitter.com/shanvav/status/1197234169069408256

Affiliate marketing schemes are untrustwothy by design. There's no better example of this than VPN "review" sites. https://blog.privacytools.io/the-trouble-with-vpn-and-privacy-reviews/
@chpkdev@librem.one yes, runs like a charm. I personally use a pixel 3a ( i cannot life without a headphone jack). In any case, its pretty similar experience to using lineage, its just stock android. Also thank you for the kind words :)
@chpkdev@librem.one yep, how so?

Assange
Sweden dropped the rape investigation against Julian Assange because "the evidence has weakened considerably due to the long period of time that has elapsed since the events in question".
The prosecutor says, "I would like to emphasise that the injured party has submitted a credible and reliable version of events. Her statements have been coherent, extensive and detailed"
The Assange people are acting like this exonerates him, which it clearly doesn't.

So #startpagesearch seems to finally start answering our questions. The most interest ing answer to me is the fact that System1 does indeed have the major stakehold.
We are currently discussing how we will proceed.

Reminder: Humans have existed for like 200,000 years, and there are around 9 billion humans alive right now. Whatever you’re struggling with, someone else is struggling with it too, and we’ve been struggling with it for millennia.
The point: you are not alone. ❤️

My first Hacker Noon article, some #Firefox #privacy tips for everyone 😄 https://hackernoon.com/thre-c-4r5g3ksj
Currently im looking into the tutanota situation. So far it seems less bad then I initially thought.
It seems like all encrypted parts of the system will be untouched. Ill be talking about it with the @Tutanota team to get their side of the story in as well, and publish a story on it on our blog so it will be cleared up.
Stay tuned, folks.
