It’s also open-source and privacy-focused, so I’m not sure to what extent it makes a difference. If signal were to go astray it can always be forked.

In fact, I already use Molly because it is even more security and privacy focused.

He’s also barely sentient so all of his positions are coming from behind the scenes. He’s just the front man.

Signal said it would leave the EU if they were forced to break encryption, though. All other local alternatives (like Threema) would also comply, so I don’t really see an escape plan.

My setup exactly. I can highly recommend this approach.

Look into infomaniak (yes, I know, silly name), but its a serious service and very up to par with Google Suite.

The only correct answer lmao.

There really should be a law where the EU gets fined everytime they waste time bringing up the same proposal that has already been shut down multiple times.

let’s make encryption illegal*

*for the peasantry, of course.

They really love the idea of giving the political class an exception.

Not all of us use older PC’s. I really don’t care what other people use but I like being on the latest version of whatever software I’m using

I stopped reading about here. I can already tell the rest is a “me, me, me!” ramble about how the world should appeal to you and you only.

Just don’t use Zorin, you’re not their target market.

Kind regards.

Why are you guys so obsessed with the latest packages? A lot of new stuff doesn’t work on older PCs which is also Linux’s target market.

I don’t know the details, but I hope they will at least remove the VPN and crypto wallet integrations from the default installed version.

You still have to double check for mistakes. But even that takes less time than writing a 3-4 sentences semi-formal email from scratch.

In any case, your emails aren’t safe either, mate. Even if you don’t use AI, the person on the other side most likely will and your emails will be scanned just the same. Nobody is safe. Which is why this Thunderbird feature doesn’t excite me in the least.

We probably never sent as many emails as we do today, and there are bigger priorities. Wanna blame someone, blame the overly pompous corporate world.

the entire world.

I mean, have you seen how effective Tik Toks one is?

I mean, I disagree, but thanks. Good dialogue.

Did you just read “Data minimization” and assume it means that data collection should be minimized at all times?

There’s a reason why when you fill the GDPR consent popup all advertising companies have the “legitimate interest” on by default, because it falls under the “data that is necessary for their specified purposes”, which in their case means the purpose of displaying relevant ads and paying the app developer some money for it. And even then, you’re allowed to turn that legitimate interest OFF.

I’m the one who’s not sure if you’re trolling or just a shill. How many rubles are they paying you?

And some people still complain that US tech companies keep getting petty fines in Europe.

We’re the only ones trying to enforce even an anemic degree of antitrust, since the US just allows them to do whatever.

I agree with you thoroughly.

I did, but what you said is incorrect.

Not giving away your data isn’t encouraged and I challenge you to point out where in the law does that say. It would be stupid to even include such a passage because it would be a blatant attack on the advertising industry and the EU is a neoliberal pro-capitalist institution that wants businesses to operate inside the bloc.

And I say it again, this is a niche community, but a lot of people like targeted advertising.

I know, because I hate advertising and I preach to everyone around me that they should just reject all tracking and some have told me “but I want to see relevant ads. If I have to see ads they might as well be relevant to me.” which is a totally fair point.
