The easiest way to understand #license terms is to begin with why, rather than what. The #GNU licenses have been written by #developers and their lawyers for #application by #developers without any aid or assistance from lawyers, for the purpose of assuring these #freedoms to all their #users, and all #users of modified versions or new #programs ... If a GPL’d #program can be enhanced with proprietary #code...then intentions of developers to protect users’ rights will be frustrated.

The Markup built a one-of-a-kind privacy inspection tool called Blacklight that will tell you which trackers appear on any website— and who’s getting your data. It’s now available to the public for free: themarkup.org/blacklight

Mind. Blown.

This addresses so many of the drawbacks of IRC while still allowing you to use IRC.

- Multi-device support? Check.
- Retained and synced history across all devices? Check.
- Integrated photo and file sharing? Check.
- No need to maintain your own server or keep your computer on 24/7? Check.

Cool new tool!

@amolith I'm hopefully getting the Pixel 3a soon. I'll put GrapheneOS on it obviously. That being said, PinePhone would be my second choice.

@andreas the developer of that site actaully got in contact with me while they were making it.
