Ask HN: What do you personally pay for privacy?
I've been thinking about this heavily lately and it's been killing me because on one hand I see a side of the internet like r/privacy, which both snubs their nose at any advertising and data collecting while also shunning paid E2EE applications. Then on another side, I see people constantly ask for things like E2EE versions of Discord, which obvious won't be feasible until something like MLS is scalable, but I just can't wrap my head around where the middle ground is for users who both desire privacy, and know that that it costs money to develop software that people want to use. It feels like a lot of people on r/privacy want to have their cake and eat it too, and I'm curious what this community things about privacy as a business model. I refuse to believe statements on that sub like "What's wrong with Signal" should be the end of the discussion because there's a whole realm of applications the could benefit from E2EE and decentralization that aren't just generic messengers for 1:1 and small groups.

Show HN: Made a webcam-controlled Theremin called ÆTHERWAVES [video]
I've been a nerd about the Theremin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin) from when I found it as a wiki entry a LONG time ago. Over the years I've tried to make my version of it in various ways, and this one's my newest take on it.
It lets you create music by tracking your hand movements to control pitch, volume, and timbre.
Try it here: https://aether.layogtima.com/
How to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AtV0r8mlt4&feature=youtu.be
It's 100% open-source and under GPLv3 if you'd like to contribute/fork it: https://github.com/layogtima/aetherwaves

If you play with this, would love a video to see how you do it! Also, would really appreciate feedback and pull requests; I do not understand music theory natively, so all mistakes are ignorance on my part.
NOTE: Collaborated with Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro for various parts of coding this (LLMs don't do spatial reasoning btw, found out the hard way!)
