@martijnbraam Sweet! I think I need one of those.
"Recently, tech companies have come to a troubling consensus: that they can change your computer, remotely (and often silently) without your knowledge or permission."

@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.

Browse the demo to see what our software can do for you! We think it will convince you to become a full-time user. 😉
@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

I wrote a piece on the @purism blog on why consent is critical for #privacy, the tech industry's failure to get consent, and as a result how "Privacy has become the tattoo removal of the information age". https://puri.sm/posts/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.
