Opinions my own… Boy, do I have some. Some are actually valid.

Oh, and feel free to ignore me and move along. It’ll trouble me none.

  • We have been communicating on the lack of funds in the Foundation for a while now, the latest being here. And whilst we’ve been working hard to gather new members and are happy to see the number of logos increasing (thank you all for seeing the need for Matrix to stay independent and safe, and the value in supporting it!), none of the big players in the ecosystem have actually committed to one of the higher membership tiers, so we need to find other ways towards sustainability.

    🤔

    Sounds like that business plan isn’t working out like you hoped…

    And/Or not enough users care to use your product.

  • No, no, Fuck You, no!!

    I will have no phone that employs “Counterfeit Conciousness” to listen to every fucking word of every fucking conversation leading to (among others):

    • Further training
    • Data retention of complete call content somewhere (waiting to be hacked)
    • Possible reports to LEO (or worse)
    • …whatever else I can’t think of just now…

    Fuck right off with this.

    This solidifies for me I will never own a Pixel phone.

    And, if this becomes ubiquitous in Android, I’ll have to rethink that, too.

    Doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily go to iOS; more likely completely rethink having a phone at all.

    Fuck Google entirely. Don’t be Evil my ass.
