Shortcat

I sent a message to slack the other day recommending Shortcat (https://shortcat.app/). I edited the message to mention that I use LuLu and it's worth noting that Shortcat is closed source and does send info out to sentry. Now I have to edit that same message and mention that LuLu also phones home to sentry. Can't blame people for wanting stack traces but wow it's a tricky subject in terms of privacy.

Firebase Crashlytics

> crash dumps being sent Crash dumps can contain highly sensitive info. I have blocked Crashlytics[0] and Sentry with my pi-hole so nothing gets sent. I'm starting to believe these tools are abused and not even used to improve services. They're basically a MITM so people can violate other's privacy.
