what about the crushing? will it be imminent? like there is a small failure somewhere in the tunnel and all passengers are crushed within a second? no way im ever going on that.

they are both great, but combined they would be a foss diamond of of cosmic porportions and never before reached ingenuity.

yes replacement and improvement, but unexpected keyboard is true innovation. I really like it but for diacritics and “special letters” its just not as good. to type â for example i need to hold a, then select the letter, whilst in unexpected keyboard I just need to swipe a upwards right.

oh I will say it again … those two apps need to have a baby 😅

Could you explain how to “pair” them?

Unexpected keyboard also has a voice dictation button, could not figure out how to make use of it.

On unexpected keyboard i need to swipe the enter key upwards right and it opens sayboard 😸

thanks for bringing my attention to this!

ProtonMail voluntarily offers Assistance for Real-Time Surveillance (web.archive.org)

From 2019, but still [this fullstop signals not only the end of that sentence, but also the end of this statement]. And here [those two words indicate that new information/context is being added; it is being indicated that we now no longer talk about the article, which the uneditorialized post title references and the post link...

my inability to answer that question makes me consider to apply for a job in the swiss secret service.

can you also give a response to the “Addendum 2” in the article?

read the article, the keypoints have nothing to do with proton or the posted article. i just tried to add more context and illustrste that “swiss privacy” is an empty marketing phrase, like “military grade security” etc.

😒 if people comment, why do they not read the post or the linked article?

Thanks for your feedback, I tried to clarify it a bit, the post title, however, cannot be changed because of rule 7.

Thanks, appreciate it. And just to be clear, i found this article on the internet and thought its interesting to share with a community who claims to care about privacy; it was not meant to be a slander attack or anything, and I remain like 80% sure that youre not CIA 😜

basically.

even minimal metadata for example from signal contains

Message dates and times

Message senders and recipients (via phone number identifiers)

From these 2 pieces of information, its possible to build social graphs: who talked to who, and when they did it. Also, who’s in a group chat with who else.

Tipps für neuen Mini-PC? Hey ihr Bastler, Tüftler, IT-Worker - ich brauche einen neuen Computer. Einen Mini. Und halbwegs leise. Er muss nicht das Allerneuste sein. Aber etwas "Bumbs" darf er haben. Ich brauche 32 GB RAM und einen "Tacken" flotter als mein aktueller "Intel Core i5" wäre schon nicht schlecht. Am besten alle Komponenten in einem Bundle bereits zusammengestellt. Ich hab nicht mehr den Überblick, was an Hardware mit wem spielt oder kämpft. Zusammenschrauben kann ich dann selbst, wäre aber nicht traurig, wenn das schon erledigt ist 😉 - Ach, und das Maschinchen muss Linux können - dürften aber vermutlich die meisten Kisten inzwischen schaffen, oder?

Hat jemand Tipps und Empfehlungen, welche Modelle man getrost näher in den Blick nehmen darf oder um welche man lieber einen Bogen machen sollte?

Ich habe einen SEi12 Pro i5-1240P, ist eine absolute Wundermaschine. Das Problem sind die 16GB RAM; alles stockt und hängt bei den kleinsten Sachen, Programmstarts, Fensterwechsel, sogar Mausbewegungen (aber ich habe auch Windows. von daher vielleicht nicht relevant für dich). Aber für das Geld, das die zusätzlichen RAM gekostet haben, hätte ich mit dem i7-1260P gleich noch einen schnelleren Prozessor und eine grössere SSD erhalten.

Ansonsten ist es ein super PC, Qualität und alles ist bemerkenswert, ausser der Bluetooth Receiver, der ist absoluter Müll und du benötigst einen USB-Adapter. Ohne den kannst du nicht einmal die Maus flüssig bewegen (wurde in den neueren Modellen vielleicht verbessert?)

Und während es mit Zocken wohl nicht viel wird (?), kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass du mit mehreren Apps und Tabs Probleme haben wirst, wobei ich das meiste von deinen geplanten Tätigkeiten nicht mache und eben Windows drauf habe.

Bonus Tipp: Auf aliexpress schauen, die haben da einen offiziellen Store, wo sie die Teile teilweise noch günstiger verkaufen als auf der Webseite und immer wieder Aktionen haben.

Denke schon?

Es waren 16 GB, und auch nie ausgelastet, hat einfach gestockt. Jetzt mit 40 ist aber alles gut.

no they are not, just another stupid article from proton. nothing stops you from saying that bwE0F^pHb5iPzMZiismyeiTIWh^oB**SeH was your first pets name.

proton however stops you from disabling otp after setting up multiple security keys, they stop you from putting a pin on your drive app and they stop you from using an +4 digit pin on your mail app.

but yea, the potentially insecure thing they dont even offer is the biggest concernn here 🤦‍♀️

i mentionied the flaws i saw and are are being adresssed by the community since years without ever anything happening. so i just dont get the focus on a problem that does not even exist.

what will the next article be about? to dont write your password on a post it and stick it onto the screen?

not really tho. fornexample airplane companies ask for your full name, address and passport number.
