@WPalant Yes, understood. The JMAP standard working group isn't even bothering with encryption it seems. Some proprietary clients like SpikeNow.com switch to a centralized server for encrypted email which makes it easy from a user-side except both users need the same app. :-\
@WPalant Would an encrypted protocol that federates via DNS & routes to user mailboxes (like email) be possible though? I don't want my cell phone carrier to be in control of my netizen identity like Signal requires.

@protonmail Another side of that is most popular email programs don't warn users about privacy issues anymore. It used to be that they all did. At least @Mozilla Thunderbird still does it really well. https://pocketnow.com/apple-google-and-microsoft-allow-anyone-to-violate-your-privacy-with-an-email
@hypolite I'm going to start working like that and see if anyone says anything. Maybe not with the 3D cube animation though.
Consent Matters: When Tech Shares Your Secrets Without Your Permission

@PINE64 Oh, haha! So early Sept is a maybe. Probably depends on how many pre-orders happen first too.
@PINE64 Will it be delivered in time for back to school high school kids?
@switchingsocial@mastodon.at The techniques used here seem to work very well. I've implemented some in my contact forms. https://www.formspammertrap.com
@brandon It may not have been sent that way. That's something I have the server append to the subject automatically when the spam confidence level is at a certain height. Then you can write mail-flow rules that look for that.
The #Zoom vulnerability timeline took from from "everybody raves about this and I wish my company used it" to "I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole" in about 5 seconds.
Jitsi Meet doesn't have any of these Zoom security issues, right?
