  • Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us

    The issue I talked about was not privacy-wise. It just suck to have to use a package that is not in debian repository just to receive commercial emails. Updates are a pain. And it is the kind of software that people should keep up-to-date.

    Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications

    Ok, let’s talk about privacy. Email will never be secure because it was not designed to be and there are too many issues.

    The subject line and other metadata are not encrypted. (from protonmail website). Most of the people use email to register to accounts and for commercial communications, where all valuables informations are in the object of the email.

    There are more private way to communicate with people (like xmpp or matrix for example)

    We kill people based on metadata. Well metadata encryption are pretty important.

    So giving up convenience for 0 security sucks.

    Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?

    It would be great if there were an add-on for it. If someone knows how to develop it, please do it, it would improve UX a lot.

    But it does not solve the issue completely. On mobile, the issue is still there (I know they have an app but I would prefer to have all my email at the same place). Also, if I want to use nextcloud mail, you have to developp an addon for nextcloud now.








  • This is not your space;

    Wtf ? Keep it cool man. I joined like one year ago, when it was still labeled as a leftist instance. So I’m okay with it being leftist

    A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers

    However, it is not labeled as such in the sidebar anymore. So, I thought it was going to become a more generalist instance. If not, we should recommend beehaw.org

    Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

    Also, it is against rule 2 to be that exclusive.




  • Yeah, support to Russia makes no sense to me. And comparing NATO expansion with Russian try to expand with the war in Ukraine is a really bad take imo

    China while with more communist dressing is also a capitalist hellscape

    Well, they did a pretty good job at developing their country and capitalists have way less power than in the US or Europe for example.

    If you compare it to India, the difference is flagrant. In 1990, they had a similar GDP per capita ppp (source). Now it is 3 times higher. They also take serious actions against poverty according to world bank (source)

    However, the ban are clearly excessive. People should be allowed to denounce what happen in Xinjiang and Tibet

    No.
