Also a huge nerd who loves #gaming, #tvshows and #movies, mainly #fantasy and #scifi. Also kind of a #techie and part time tinfoil hat wearer advocating #privacy and #opensource.

Bad news 😔💔

I am sad to announce today that unfortunately I will not be working with Privacy Guides anymore after the end of this month.

Good news! 🚨  

I will be available for a new position or contract, starting in April!

I am looking for a position or contact for:

✊ Digital rights activist (with a specialty in privacy rights)

🔒 Privacy expert or consultant

 Fediverse and Mastodon advocate

🙌 Managerial position

📰 Tech journalist

💻 Technical writer

💚 Or any other fitting positions

I am especially interested in working with nonprofit organisations, cooperatives, open-source projects, privacy-oriented software companies, or any other organisations working for the public good.

🇨🇦 Remote from Canada

 All the work I produce is guaranteed to be AI-free

Let me know if you hear of any good opportunities!

@gommehammer @tweetwee @theprivacydad @ente @techlore Would indeed be a concern if the original team is not allowed to stay on and work on Ente.

But hopefully it won't come to an acquistion. To be clear: this was just hypothetical from my side, not an actual situation based on any news 😄

@tweetwee @theprivacydad @ente @techlore I kinda share your sentiment and sometimes think Proton is on it's way to becoming 'big tech' them selves... But I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and will see where it goes.

I agree with you about the disadvantage of acquiring (that's what the wink was for, but maybe it didn't come across like I meant) and am actually thinking of sticking with Ente for photos. Through referrals I've gained extra storage and have a sufficient amount for my pics for roughly 30 bucks a year (!). Plus, like your said, the matter of choice and not having all eggs in one basket is important.

New Vivaldi release for Windows, Mac & Linux. We got some cool stuff for you and we avoided AI, so enjoy!

@theprivacydad @ente @techlore Great write up. I loved my time as an Ente user: coming from Google Photos I couldn't point out any major issues or things I missed.

As a Proton Premium user I've recently switched away from Ente to Proton Drive Photos, but I still miss the functionality that Ente has. They are waaaay ahead of Proton Photos. Maybe Proton could acquire Ente and use their solutions? 😉

@SJB Välkommen! Jag flyttade till Fediverse för samma anledning och det har varit en eyeopener att uppleva att det fortfarande finns sociala medier utan toxicity och trolls och med mycket mer engagemang 👏🏻

Har också njutit av Julkalendern! (och Exit förresten👌🏻)

@britt Don't have any knowledge about the writers political views, but I thought the article was very insightful and an extra boost for my 2026 resolution: READ MORE 💪🏻 Happy New Year!
