Reply to Does anyone here use NextDNS? What are your thoughts? by twovests

if it saves you a bunch of tedious setup, and you aren't concerned about snooping, then surely it's worth the price? personally i just use wireguard to access services on my home network, but this may not be an option in some circumstances (e.g. isp puts you behind cgnat)

Reply to comment by voxpoplar in The way graphene OS constantly accuses people and organizations of "attacking" them makes me suspicious of them by flabberghaster

I think that's right. I use the OS myself and I once went in to their matrix chat to ask for help on something because the way notifications worked had changed (I wanted to mute some notifs and not others and couldn't figure it out).

Immediately the main developer replied telling me I was doing it wrong, the way notifications worked in the OS was right and working as intended, and I was wrong and didn't get it. And I was like what the hell man. I came in here saying "I don't understand this, can someone please help me figure out how to use it?" And I was still accused of being a dumbass who didn't get it.

I don't find them credible either, I just find the way they go sicko mode on everyone all the time weird and feels like what you'd do to put up a smokescreen.

I don't think they're doing that necessarily, I think thestinger just has Mental Health, like a lot of us do. But seriously it's an awful way to present the project.

Yeah, I follow them for news but it's increasingly just long rants about the malicious forces conspiring against them. The cited attacks are just... Milquetoast criticism.

I installed Graphene on my phone and like the OS but I think I'll be using Calyx next time.

It's a concern though, because it feels like just mentioning GrapheneOS can summon the developer. Maybe the evil forces conspiring against GrapheneOS was the friends we made along the way.
