TerminalPhone is a single, self-contained Bash script that provides anonymous, end-to-end encrypted voice and text communication between two parties over the Tor network. It operates as a walkie-talkie: you record a voice message, and it is compressed, encrypted, and transmitted to the remote party as a single unit. You can also send encrypted text messages during a call. No server infrastructure, no accounts, no phone numbers. Your Tor hidden service .onion address is your identity.

Hi HN,

I recently noticed that an YC company (Run ANywhere, W26) sent me the following email:

From: Aditya <aditya@buildrunanywhere.org>

Subject: Mikołaj, think you'd like this

[snip]

Hi Mikołaj,

I found your GitHub and thought you might like what we're building.

I have also received a deluge of similar emails from another AI company, Voice.AI (doesn't seem to be YC affiliated). These emails indicate that those companies scrape people's Github activity, and if they notice users contributing to repos in their field of business, send marketing emails to those users without receiving their consent. My guess is that they use commit metadata for this purpose. This includes recipients under the GDPR (AKA me).

I've sent complaints to both organizations, no response so far.

I have just contacted both Github and YC Ethics on this issue, I'll update here if I get a response.
