@JoshStrobl That looks really nice!
@Tutanota I would love to see how your UI looked back then. 😃
@resist1984 @Tutanota I am not an expert and I may be wrong but that's probably due to Tutanota not using PGP. They encrypt emails using a custom method for reasons they explained here: https://tutanota.com/faq#pgp. On the other hand, ProtonMail uses PGP. This is one of the key differences between these two great services.
Then, we also have the problem of unencrypted backups on Android and server-client encrypted backups on iOS (over which we have little control) which are 'promoted'. Although, local backups are available, this is not made clearly evident and the process is not very 'streamlined' (to say the least). These issues seem to undermine our privacy despite the strength of the Signal Protocol itself. Don't you think it's time to change? (https://www.thinkprivacy.io/choosing-the-right-messenger)
'Messages that Stay with You'. Are WhatsApp messages really encrypted? True. WhatsApp does use one of the best end-to-end encryption protocols (Signal protocol). However, due to the way WhatsApp works, your messages may not be as private as you think. Firstly, we have the problem of metadata. WhatsApp can seemingly identify the types of files you send, how long you chat with someone and who you chat with.
@protonvpn Do routers from FlashRouters have open source firmware?
@e_mydata Well done! I hope you will extend your support to more recent devices, though, as it becomes increasingly difficult to purchase 'old phones'.
@protonvpn How do you install ProtonVPN on an InvizBox router? You are not one of their supported VPN providers. 🤔
@JoshStrobl I bet! 😂 I am just curious. Why do you have so many tabs open? Surely, there isn't that much stuff to search.... 🤔
@JoshStrobl I heard that Twitter changed its API, which resulted in broken functionality for third party clients. I would recommend using the web app. (Source: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/02/qt-twitter-client-choqok-first-update-forever)
@JoshStrobl I really don't get the appeal behind using PiP. I find it actually distracts me from getting any work done apart from very specific use cases. It's just my opinion, though. 😃
@purism I don't mind leaving behind proprietary apps. I can keep running an emulator for those. However, there are several #foss apps that I am hoping will gain official support on the #librem5. I am not really a fan of third party apps as they can be a security risk (even for FOSS). My list includes Telegram, Bitwarden, Tutanota and ProtonVPN.
@Tutanota Are you referring to the disappearance of the system tray icon? 🤔
@torproject It would be nice if you provided an AppImage for Linux downloads. It makes things much easier and cleaner. Please consider it.
@solarkraft There already is a desktop app for @Tutanota if you do not know already. You can get it here: https://tutanota.com/faq#desktop.
@Tutanota Thank you for taking an initiative towards supporting #privacy better. It is not a good sign when a startup seems disinterested in new opportunities for their own product. We hope that @purism will tend to this matter soon. Although they have their own email service, a successful platform always encourages diversity. 🤔
@Tutanota @protonvpn @protonmail The Librem 5 is a new platform by @purism that aims to provide their users with a surveillance-free smartphone. While it still has a long way to go, many would agree that it has potential. As privacy and security oriented services, it would be invaluable for your users and the entire #privacy and #foss community if you officially supported it. We await your response. 😀
What is your most favourite universal packaging format? #linux
