On Friday the first episode of our new podcast (me and Ben Whitelaw) came out, in which I got to rant about the potential end of the global internet, look at how the EU is looking at regulating Shein, how Telegram handles things with just 50 employees, and how Bluesky is trying a different form of moderation. Take a listen and (please!) subscribe: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2315966/14698023-the-global-internet-or-is-it

derekmorr,

@robianhood @ianonymous3000 @internet_nl @protonmail @skiff @Tutanota Tuta and Skiff have IPv6 addresses for the DNS servers, so they score a few points higher.

derekmorr,

@protonmail @ianonymous3000 agreed. These comparisons are extremely misleading. Having said that, IPv6 support inProtonwoud be great to see.

derekmorr,

@robianhood @protonmail @ianonymous3000 that's about Proton VPN. Are there plans for SMTP and the web apps? Or do those come later?

Mehrad, to Signal

Just a heads-up to all fellow @signalapp users: there is a high chance that the messages you send or the messages others send to you don't get delivered. Previously it was an issue with iOS recipients, but now it also is happening to Android users. When you open the Signal app you will see multiple notifications but their sent time is from minutes or an hour ago (depends on how frequently you open the app). If you have an important message, don't reply on Signal.

derekmorr,

@signalapp @Mehrad It could be a battery optimization on your phone. Have you looked at https://dontkillmyapp.com/ ? It has instructions for how to fix some of the notification issues on Android.

derekmorr,

@thenewoil "KFF Health News and The Markup also found Rite Aid sending the names of patients’ specific prescriptions to Facebook." I hope they're sued for every penny they're worth.

"Microsoft Surface Pro X owners say the cameras stopped working this week; a workaround suggests the problem could be related to an expired security certificate"

lol

it was DNS
it was BGP
it was the certificate expiring again

can't be spied on if the device doesn't work.. secure from the chip to the cloud!

derekmorr,

@GossiTheDog Can this company do anything right?
