You're hypocrites
You're hypocrites
- 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?

- Pretty much Crowdin works very well, particularly with it's TM (Translation Memory) and specific terms.
- We are currently mirroring there but there's no reason you couldn't use
git-send-emailto one of the team members if you need to really do that. Ideally, just use a VPN or Tor anyway, because you're probably going to need that anyway. Github is available in Iran nowadays https://github.blog/2021-01-05-advancing-developer-freedom-github-is-fully-available-in-iran/ - Because they often lag behind in security https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Linux-Libre-5.7-Released (for example this allowed the GPU to be used in browser fingerprint.
- In a lot of cases the site is research, and words we've written based on our experience. There isn't much reason for derivatives to exist based on our content. If there were, those would be a complete re-write. We aim to have the site as accurate as possible, and want changes contributed back there to benefit everyone and be translated. That does promote centralization, but in this case that is a good thing.
- Libreboot won't ever be recommended, basically because unless you want an ancient laptop from 8-10 years ago it's a non-starter.

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".

So you're the dictator who decides what's constructive and what's not?
Damn someone shit in your frosted flakes this morning
Someone needs to decide, yes, or your kind of confrontational personality will cause everyone to be annoyed.
You literally ask questions without being open to seeing the other point of view here. I'm not going to use tech that makes it much harder for me to be productive just because it's free. It's similar to choose to live in a tent in the forest because you feel you don't want to take a loan and support the banks.
Just breathe a little bit and calm down. People here are very chill and you just come in here looking for a fight, judging by your responses.
We don't have to fight eachother online and people who disagree is sometimes a learning opportunity if you are open to it. They are not your enemy because they have different beliefs.
Maybe you should sleep a little ...
Weblate projects have plenty of contributions.
