Threema.ch already do this. Maybe that’s the answer?

I wonder what that looks like fleshed out a little, though. Is that a mandatory or voluntary payment? And by paying for what they use is that per message or per month like a subscription?

Exactly.

But do we trust entities that depend on our governments for funding? It could be argued that they’re fundamentally compromised.

Upvoted bc VC eventually means enshittifiication. But with xz getting back-doored recently, what is the middle ground that keeps these things sustainable financially and operationally?

According to @postcard64 below I’m oversimplifying things (at minimum).

Thanks. In that case is it known which of those two possibilities are most likely?

I thought that SSD fails “better” than HDD because SDD become read-only first.

Anyone know how this compares to FreshRSS?

Update: I see a few differences. It’s mobile friendly and is more simplified in some ways. That’s all good. They say to expect breakage so it mightn’t be as stable yet.

An osteopath is usually the best choice.

The problem I see is that if they get too idealistic/absolutist, they will end up just like those examples you mentioned (Brave, TorBrowser, Librewolf); less successful.

Ah, that’s significant, although not surprising. They’re a national embarrassment.

Would I be able to switch seamlessly to another SIM/number in that case, do you think?

Thanks. I’m happy to hear that.

I’m using Organic Maps. Is that open source? I know that they don’t collect any data.

The Microsoft one does concern me. The Google features are optional to the user, but not the MS ones.

Funny. MS used to ridicule Google for being an “advertising company”. Probably said in jealousy since they’re no different now.

When it comes to the environment they have no competition. I’m still with them.

With DuckDuckGo we get zero trees planted. It’s outside the EU too so although they have a relationship with US companies I hope that there are some protections around data transfer.

I have Foliate on Linux too, it’s great.

lately I just open them on my phone and have the screen reader read it to me. I don’t have to turn pages and it works with the screen locked too.

iOS lockdown mode, mentioned at the end of the article seems fairly comprehensive. But I would want to review those steps (in their link) a few times before deciding whether or not to commit.
