  • Moving to an all-FOSS workflow
    Https://privacytools.io was once a great website about privacy, but all of the team has moved to a different website. PTIO is now owned by a guy who already "owned" it originally, but contributed literally nothing. And now, since he's the only person left working on that website, he adds a lot of misleading privacy advise because he doesnt know shit and just wants to make money. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago
