Does anyone remember https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/?

Because eIDAS 2.0 passed in the EU last month without much note from... anyone. EFF, Mozilla, etc. (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1183/oj)

It appears to have the exact same text that the @eff was originally concerned about.

I'm not a lawyer so uh, is this something we're concerned about? 🤔

YouTube actually added a good feature for once, you can now set 3 thumbnails for a video and it will automatically A/B test them for you, you could already do this manually but this massively stream lines the process.

@BrodieOnLinux still waiting for this feature on my channels

I just learned and confirmed that MySudo is censoring profanity in messages. I have reason to believe it's not them, but actually their carrier (Twilio).

What the actual fuck?

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@nateb have you confirmed on multiple carriers? because that sort of censorship also happens on the receiving end (T-Mobile comes to mind in particular)

@delta is it supported to self-host an email server for Delta Chat and have functional push notifications with the iOS app?

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@feld I received a notification once today with this setup (when I should have... more than once), so it seems to be intermittent.

@feld I think you are right. Good question whether this connectivity status would be green on any provider.

If @protonprivacy is serious about the recovery email/numbers being optional, they should remove this non-dismissable (dark pattern) warning in their settings tbh

It's even worse now that it shows an orange dot on the security center sidebar icon in the inbox as well, there's no escape! Let me accept the risk!

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@ThePrivacyWayfinder well it also shows up in the inbox, I guess unless you hide the sidebar (which I use for the calendar)

@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@protonprivacy that’d be awesome 😄

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@blakeashleyjr I would not assume the recent case is the only reason people don’t want to provide a recovery email.

I trust Proton with my security, and I don’t want to additionally trust a third party email provider with my Proton account security as well, so having a recovery email would be pointless. I should be able to avoid the recovery options entirely without being nagged to add one in multiple locations throughout the Proton interface. I think Proton will improve this though. This has nothing to do with courts and governments 🤷‍♂️

@protonprivacy

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@dieTasse and when an actual security alert shows up in my sidebar I’ll just be trained to ignore it?

It’s unacceptable when anti-privacy companies nag you to enable telemetry and whatever constantly, and it’s equally unacceptable for pro-privacy companies like Proton to nag you constantly when you decide not to add plaintext metadata to your account. Proton isn’t exempt from basic standards by virtue of being Proton. And it’s a simple fix, because they can just add an ignore button to the notification.

I’m glad Apple’s iPad Pro marketing video is getting the hate it deserves, I was sad watching that during the event. That arcade cabinet looked pretty neat.

Delta Chat is an in-between project: often ignored as a messenger by e-mail companies/experts and then ignored by messenger companies/experts because of its use and interoperability with e-mail. As Heinz von Foerster once said: "If you are doing something genuinely new then don't ask the experts. If you do something that has already been done, then, by all means, ask the experts." FWIW many experts have verified Delta Chat's security mechanics https://delta.chat/en/help#security-audits :)

jonah,
@jonah@neat.computer avatar

@delta so, speaking of interoperability: how come there’s still no WKD support in Delta Chat? Surely encryption interoperability with @protonprivacy (which is arguably one of, if not the biggest contributors to email encryption ever) would be a huge boon for this app.

I just downloaded DC and was surprised to find no automatic encryption with Proton, no way to even add a PGP key to a Proton contact manually, and no functioning notifications (iOS). Kind of a tough sell :(

    @doomy how would @protonprivacy “un-hash” it if they needed to send you a recovery email? A hash is one way.

    All they can do is encrypt it (which I’m sure they do), but in that case they’ll have the keys to decrypt it like they did here.

    jonah,
    @jonah@neat.computer avatar

    @jik asking people who’ve forgotten their password to remember their recovery email seems like a very bad move.

    Finally the 11" iPad Pro has a usable display, instead of limiting that to the gigantic version. Very tempting 👀

    Nightmarish question of the morning: "Have you ever asked ChatGPT about yourself?"

    Now I have. I don't like this. I don't like this one bit.

    @tek @nateb this is going to be the new hot SEO thing for sure, I just asked it “who is Jonah Aragon” and it replied with a paragraph of things I wrote in my own bios, word for word. Everyone with SEO knowledge will be gaming this system.

    I didn’t think those eBay cyberstalkers could be one-upped, but now I’m pretty sure we’re going to find out some Boeing execs decided to take matters into their own hands and assassinate those whistleblowers. I wonder how long it’ll be before some evidence comes out 🙃
