  • They = email host. gmail, etc.

    But the mail flow goes into your gmail inbox and is analyzed when it it lands. How does this prevent google from reading your mail received by the gmail account?

    It’s not, but if you switched to another email host, they wouldn’t have the data Google acquired. And if you switched again, the new host wouldn’t have the data the other host + gmail acquired.

    How does Proton Mail Bridge work?

    Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background, encrypting and decrypting messages as they enter and leave your computer. It lets you add your Proton Mail account to your favorite email client via IMAP/SMTP by creating a local email server on your computer.

  • Because the headers will have all the transport and delivery metadata from your old inbox? I don’t see how this obscures any of that.

    I think there’s a misunderstanding here. How are they going to access my old inbox? I’ll be self-hosting it.

    GMAIL --POP–> myServer --IMAP–> myDevice(s)

    I can switch out gmail, with protonmail, startmail, fastmail, posteo, kolabnow, zimbra, gandi, etc. The only thing I need to update is my MX record and fetchmail to pull from the new managed inbox and that’s it.


  • Article written by GrapheneOS? They are hardly objective. Graphene’s social media account hates every android ROM that isn’t called GrapheneOS and will excessively shit on it. It’s to make you believe nothing but GrapheneOS is secure. It also helps that they are releasing a phone with Motorola soon that will come with GrapheneOS pre-installed on it.

    My bet is that they will call it the most secure phone on the planet with quotes taken out of context from anywhere they can find.

  • Hey, he is right. He reason why so many places are dependent on US tech is simply because it’s there and it works. Remove that and those places will suddenly innovate to what they had and more.

    Trump and his people thought it would cripple China to isolate them, and that Europe would just accept their position as a vassal of a belligerent state. Look at what’s happening now: China is making their own chips, poaching talent and also has their own humungous pool of talent that is now dedicated to developing alternatives instead of building on US tech. Europe is discovering opensource now. Africa and Asia are seeing China as more valuable trade partner and buying a lot more renewable energy and building their own industries free of US tech.

    Pulling out of a market to focus on “MAGA” and America First" was strategic mistake, but we should all be glad they made it. The more competition, the better. If Europe also starts producing chips and Africa learns starts building processing their natural resources to multiply value, instead of selling it, consumers and businesses will have many choices. The US might face actual competition on every front.




  • Linus installed popOS at a friggin LAN, under pressure, and was rushing to get stuff working then got bent out of shape by comments on protondb about how to get his game to work. His colleagues sat at home, with all the time in the world to figure stuff out and were pleasantly surprised by their experience.

    Linux has issues for sure, I run into them daily, but there’s a big difference in giving it a fair shot and saying “could’ve happened on Windows” and making a video as it only happens on Linux. If Linux came on hardware by default, and people had no idea it was Linux, they’d be complaining about their computer, just like people complain about Windows. Linus acts like everything is a Linux issue whenany things are just computer issues you get used to.
