You see, it's not required for me to agree with whom you are criticizing, to criticize your inability to be civil. So keep making as many strawmen you like. We are in a post complaining about user behavior/content and your behavior and content are both completely unacceptable in a community.
Also, you can stop name-calling, this may have an effect when someone else values your opinion, I don't.
Ok, but it's the same thing from the perspective of all the people on an instance vs from the perspective of an individual. Those people are still there, creating posts etc., and they can easily move on other instances if they want too.
It's just a "bigger blanket", but the concept is essentially the same, with the plus that more people are "covered" and the minus that someone might be affected against their will.
Either way, it doesn't solve the problem, it just masks it for the members of an instance. Why would it be a fundamentally better solution in this particular instance?
I had a look at your history, and you seem really incapable of behaving in a civil way, often using insults. I don't think this is a good strategy to get your point across.
Be respectful of others.
This comment is in clear violation of the rules of this community. Be better, if you want to criticize others.
No, you’re putting a blanket over them and pretending they’re not there any more.
Isn't defederation the same thing? Users won't disappear (and they can also create accounts elsewhere...).
Tbh, selling data for profit is not the only thing they do. The cloud act in US exists, and government agencies can get what they want essentially when they want.
This at least applies to the big 3 cloud providers in the picture.
I guess the double standard that is the core idea behind the picture is true. On the other hand, it's also easy to see why it's considered different whether your data goes to the NSA or to the CCP, from the perspective of a US citizen.
Just FYI, kagi.com specifically downranks websites with lots of trackers (with the logic that those are generally associated with click-farm websites/SEO-driven).
It's a paid product though.
I personally like a lot the gazillion bangs also available, the personal up/downranking/blocking of websites and their quick answer is often fairly good (I mostly use it for documentation lookup). The lenses are definitely the best feature though, especially coupled with bangs. I converted even my wife who really loves it.
If you use GnuPG or one of the GUI implementations it does.
No, because it's the server that terminates the TLS connection, not the recipient's client. TLS is purely a security control to protect the transport between you and the server you are talking to. It doesn't have anything to do with e2ee. It's still important, of course, but not for e2ee.
You do realize e2ee merely means that two users share public keys when they communicate in order to decrypt the messages they receive, right?
And how does TLS between you and your mail server help with this? Does it give you any guarantee that the public key was not tampered when it reached your server? Or instead you use the fingerprint, generally transmitted through another medium to verify that?
Nothing to stop you from hosting your own on an encrypted drive.
An encrypted drive is useful only when the server is off against physical attacks. While the server is powered on (which is when it gets breached - not considering physical attacks) the data is still in clear.
EteSync does E2E already
And...it requires a specialized client anyway. In fact, they built a DAV bridge (https://github.com/etesync/etesync-dav). Now tell me, if you use this on -say- your phone, can you use other DAV tools without using such bridge? No, because it does something very similar to what Proton does. If proton bridge will get calendar/contacts functionality too (if, because I have no idea how popular of a FR it is), you are in the exact same situation.
