You found malware in the source code for RiseUpVPN? The source code is publicly accessible, what kind of malware is in it?

Accoding to F-Droid build service, it says ProtonVPN depends entirely on non-free network services, which means:

"This Anti-Feature is applied to apps that promote or depend entirely on a Non-Free network service which is impossible, or not easy to replace. Replacement requires changes to the app or service. This antifeature would not apply, if there is a simple configuration option that allows pointing the app to a running instance of an alternative, publicly available, self-hostable, free software server solution."

Compared to RiseUpVPN source code which has zero anti-features

Proton is trying to do too many things and can't excel at doing one thing. It's getting too big beyond its capabilities which means services are going to suffer at a lower quality.

If the want blanket trust from users, remove the VPN login to make it anonymous and change the VPN code to remove all anti-features and comply with native F-Droid, other RiseUpVPN is the only choice for everybody to use.

Stroganoff is quite good if cooked correctly, may I try a taste of it? I'm messing with you

Until any kind of crypto, whether it's bitcoin or something else, can be used to pay for groceries, electronics, furniture, cars, clothing, a house, all in crypto it will forever remain irrelevent.

From doing network security, configuring server OS and software for security and privilege seperation, it seemed privacy was a natural growth out of doing system and network security.

The Marxist philosophy is not solely and strictly pertaining to workers. There is a Marxist culture, living with a Marxist mindset or mentality, and living with a Marxist view of the world or trying to get the world to fall into a Marxist view and setting up society in a Marxist way.

OMEMO is fantastic! Doesn't Matrix log history?

You used the philosophy and objective of Marxism to say that the GPL is not Marxist.

To verify online sign up and not registering your number with an app or service, your only choice is to pay for a second number or not sign up at all.

Thevright to repair thing is wholly distnct from software. Right to reapir is for a physical hardware product. People bought something they can touch, they have full rights to repair it, otherwise people are only paying to use it but never fully own it out right.

Libre software is not better than proprietary software. I only care about open source software for the sake of security so I can do whatever I want with the code, I reject libre software like GPLv3 and stick to open source.

If you know the difference between a cracker and a hacker, I always got love for hackers. It's the crackers that cause so much misery. I'm a big fan if hackathons, as long as the discussions center around hacking and not get into personal digs.

I've noticed a trend that it seems to be end users that don't have a clue about computer science and software engineering from a programming perspective that got more stuck on licenses than the actual developers and hackers. I even believe there are wonderful devs and engineers at Microsoft, nVidia, and Google, who wod be happy to give away their code if there wasn't the stockholder reigning supreme over corporate management.

Until you learn code correctness, you can't understand the areas where Linux has horrible designing or programming. There's a reason why the top talent at Def Con completely gave up on trying to get into a default OpenBSD installation.
