Privacy giant Proton may be building a web browser — but its community turns cold:
https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/privacy-giant-proton-may-be-building-a-web-browser-but-its-community-turns-cold
(Well, I don't rely that heavily on the Proton ecosystem, so I didn't notice any bug in existing products, but regardless, I also think they shouldn't expand more, because they already have a wide ecosystem which can lock people in, so it's basically Google. People should be taught to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, not to switch to another ecosystem just because it claims to be more privacy-focused. There were already some news that Proton handed over user data to authorities.)
(As for the Chromium base, I agree that supporting the Chromium monopoly isn't a good idea, although unfortunately it's necessary to use a Chromium-based browser for a few sites, web apps which don't play nice with Firefox.)

Signal to add optional registration without phone number through one-time payment:

(Pay to be able to sign up without a phone number? Sounds pretty stupid. Why the heck they want that phone number that badly? I still don't get it)

Bonjour, je pense avoir déjà posé cette question mais je la repose au cas où :
Je streame sur Twitch, Youtube, et Peertube. J'utilise Restream et l'overlay chat de Restream pour afficher le chat, sauf que si Twitch et Youtube, ça fonctionne, ce n'est pas le cas pour les serveurs personnalisés tels que Peertube.

Connaissez-vous une solution me permettant d'afficher les 3 à la fois ? (au moins pour moi et sinon en overlay OBS) merciiiii
