  • Why do you use Crowdin (proprietary, bad for privacy) instead of Weblate (libre, privacy-friendly)
  • Why do you host the project on GitHub (proprietary, bad for privacy, developers located in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria can’t contribute)?
  • Why don’t you mention any of the FSF-endorsed GNU/Linux distributions?
  • Why do you use a Creative Commons non-free license?
  • Why don’t you recommend Libreboot or Coreboot?

  1. Because we wanted people to actually contribute.
  2. Submit a pull request to GitLab, Codeberg, or Gitea then.

  5. We haven’t written any hardware recommendations. https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1899

Anyways, be constructive in the future, or leave.

That’s bullshit, Weblate projects have plenty of contributions. See article It is important for free software to use free software infrastructure.

Submit a pull request to GitLab, Codeberg, or Gitea then.

The official website links to GitHub, so you’re officially endorsing a privacy-invasive, non-free service. You just mirror it on Gitea, and there is no option there to send a pull request…

We haven’t written any hardware recommendations. https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1899

The website says: “If you’re looking for a specific solution to something, these are the hardware and software tools we recommend in a variety of categories”.

Anyways, be constructive in the future, or leave.

So you’re the dictator who decides what’s constructive and what’s not?
