I swear, we need many more people and orgs creating privacy-preserving products like Reflectacles: https://www.reflectacles.com/

I'm not at all affiliated with Reflectacles, but when i first heard of them (on HN) I loved the idea! Where else beyond Reflectacles can i throw my money at in order to preserve my privacy?

I like the idea of Reflectacles but it's ironic that you can't even view the contents to their site without allowing scripts to run from companies like squarespace and adobe (typekit) which track users and share that data with others.

Well, currently you're not throwing any money at Reflectacles because they aren't expected to ship until next year.

Acknowledged...

I meant: what other projects exist like Reflectacles that i could (either now or soon) happily pay money for (in order to help preserve privacy)?? For me, privacy is no longer a "nice to have" feature, but rather, a top-most feature for products/services that i pay for.

Librem 5

Your own server (physically in your home) running your own services. Enables you to access your data from your phone/laptop/desktop while retaining control.

Yep, librem 5 - and other similar products - is exactly what we need more of.

As far as my own server, yep, I'm already running services like nextcloud, etc. My challenge is more on the hardware and other non-digital products/services.

But thanks for bringing up librem 5 - kudos!

Is it really hard to beat them when they only cover one's eyes?
