Techlore Talks

Front-ends and third-party services still dependent on big tech companies are falling like flies - Reddit, Twitter, Invidious, Aurora - here's why and what we need to do about it! We also discuss Debian 12, Proton's (insane!) marketing, and Techlore Clips.

Update: After recording this, Proton updated the headline to read: "Apple can see much of what you store in iCloud" - which is much better, but hopefully our points still speak to this recurring issue. Read it for yourself: https://proton.me/blog/apple-icloud-privacy
