lol so if Apple decides not to support privacy enabling features like back ground services, we just can't have them? give me a break

Maybe talk to Apple, whom have made it increasingly hard to theoretically impossible for our type of privacy preserving app to run on iOS. We aren't the first, and Brair has been around a bit longer and has run into the same problem.

https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/445

As an even smaller team with less funding, we have so far decided it would be irresponsible to risk sinking a sizable portion of our limited funds into trying to port to iOS when it may be impossible.

But if you really want it, please, donate, we need iphones, macs, dev accounts and budget for the research and work!

New comment by mindstab in "Inside the Feminist Hackerspace"

mindstab — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 20:30:34 +0000

Hackspaces are supposed to be safe spaces to do work, you aren't there for flirting/socialzing/picking-a-mate. There, like work, it is inappropriate to be trying to "seduce" someone. Try a bar. To tell women that by being in public they have to accept endless random seduction attempts is a giant part of the problem.

Also gay guys usually don't just hit on everyone because at least they usually have the grace to know when it's appropriate and when it's not and also when it might be reciprocal (wanted) and when not.
