Thanks for the information, that's very interesting... Glad that offer was turned down :)
I'm not saying the PIA thing is bad, and getting funding is amazing. I just find what PIA is doing weird. As you said you can't really attach strings to krita so it's fine.
Thanks!
I have to admit, two weeks ago I (and Irina, who does the artist interviews on krita.org) got some very insistent mails from some company that promised a 20k/month income if only we'd embed their hidden tor node software in Krita. I deleted those mails, of course, but not having heard of Private Internet Access before, I initially thought they were related!
But no, not at all. And, yes -- I have to admit, do live under a stone, in a cave. I spend so much time on Krita that large parts of the world pass me by. To me, a VPN is an ssh connection...
