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).
@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)
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!
@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 🤷♂️
@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 :)
@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 :(
@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.
@ernie extremely funny how (notorious herb) Jim Spanfeller tries to take credit for the new owners keeping on the existing Onion staff in Chicago in his memo
@WolfIsMe@aral kind of concerning that only the last browser history entry is replaced with Google if you try this with Safari on iOS. Hope they don’t navigate around? 👀
