The NFL is trying it's damned hardest to become as corrupt as FIFA

Last I checked, the FBI doesn't patrol the streets. Unless they're, uh... harassing you.

I've seen some opensource implementations of Protonmail's stuff, any comparisons?

docker?

I bought one of the Fx0 phones last month.

Sad to hear this news. I wanted to move away from Android and iOS, and saw FFOS as the only viable option.

They should've mass produced whatever the developer phone was, the Flame I think? Sell it to consumers as a flagship, supported by Mozilla devs, and community devs...

No mention of the extortion/blackmail VJ claimed to be facing from some rogue FBI agent?

Somewhat related would be Tor's flashproxy bridges: https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/

I can't believe they're using PayPal of all things...

You can play via bitcoins if that is your thing:

I agree but I think the problem is the lack of an alternative in the space. PayPal works across countries.

You can even send in cash...

Agree, lutz.

But EFF and Freedom of Press also use Paypal and they have a nice interface for monitoring recurring contributions.

What are the alternatives that work well internationally? Only Bitcoin comes to my mind, but it's a mess to buy, conversation rates fluctuate wildly and is far from easy to use.

Some of us like PayPal.

If you watch enough swattings (most are streamed via twitch.tv and wind up on youtube) you'll see they typically have a sheriff follow the obviously unarmed, unharmed, and generally confused victims around the house.

No, most are not streamed via Twitch. A tiny percentage are. In fact, we will never hear of most of them unless someone is killed.

Further, read the paragraph and my quoted portion again. She says her father woke her up and she didn't see cops until she saw into the living room.

Therefore, there was no sheriff with him.
