Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.

I doubt it changed much ant it sounds logical too.

The centre left keeps doing it:

Remember: Obama set up the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies. Obama also signed the USA freedom act (prolonging the patriot act though lightening it a tad bit).

They keep digging the hole Russians will bury them in.

DINUM is a lost cause… They keep wasting energy and cash just trowing pasta against the wall. Yesteryear it was olvid, it wasn’t popular, now it’s tchap… Probably because French politicians are still addicted to telegram for their private conversations despite being warned time and time again.

BTW: anyone can use it, it’s called olvid , on github , FOSS, matrix based E2E, public funded (no adverts, no corporate ownership), and uses IRL authentication to add contacts instead of using the devices contact lists (by showing each other a generated QR code).

Or morally better than breaking TOS, use a FOOS alternative like Jellyfin.

Pcloud will probably go this way.
