@kravietz @jj @kot Likewise. I've never used NordVPN, either. Since a user would likely give their app a lot of privileges and access to interfaces, I can see how they could try that. That's why I keep an always-visible data I/O monitor on my task bar or status bar. If it's active for no good reason, I want to know why. And thanks for the heads up about Nord and Proton. Mullvad FTW, I guess.

@MastodonProject I appreciate unwillingness to be associated with Gab sickos but Mastodon on its own should be content neutral. I don't mind server ops blocking Gab (I'd actually encourage this) but hardcoding this ban in client apps is an utter nonsense.
@MastodonProject client (!) software (Tusky, Toot) blocking hardcoded (!) domains of "nazi" servers (like Gab) is a shoot in the foot. And trying to get unblocked clones @ZhiyuanLin from Google Play with "GPL violation" complaints is just a foul play.

The #Tusky people seems to be unhappy about #TuskyUncensored to be a GPL-compliant software so they can not report it for GPL violation.

And they are reporting #Mastodon client that works with #newgab for Google Play policy violation.
I am just a Chinese guy living in Japan, I have not been to the fucking America yet. Being born in China, I know the importance of absolute free speech is so much more important than difference between left and right.
All Japanese Mastodon clients are not blocking #Gab, including Subway Tooter by Mr.Tateisu, a very well made client with support for push notification with FCM, which #Tusky refuse to implement.

Also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avalanche.avalanche made by Mixi K.K. in Japan.
You guys should really try to take down those #WhiteSupremacist #Nazi apps made by Japanese right?
Thank those people in the #Tusky Team (mostly white) trying to force us, the coloured developers in Asia to comply with their view of #AmericanPolitics. Such an excellent way to combat #AmericanExceptionalism and #WhiteSupremacism .

Installed Ubuntu on my younger brother's laptop and showed him some basics on how to use terminal. One more point for FOSS one less for Windows.
The Reg is bashing NHS for placing Google and FB trackers on sensitive pages, but this comment nails it https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/11/nhs_inform_loads_facebook_pixel_google_doubleclick_trackers/ #privacy
@kot their business model is apparently not to peek into your traffic, but run their traffic through your VPN client
@nikolal The court file leaves do doubts about NordVPN really (not sure about ProtonVPN)
@nikolal This one is a killer - it's a court document that directly speaks of "Tesonet's NordVPN network" and using clients' computers for data mining https://cdn-resprivacy.pressidium.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Luminati-Networks-LTD-vs-UAB-Tesonet.pdf #vpn
