Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us

The issue I talked about was not privacy-wise. It just suck to have to use a package that is not in debian repository just to receive commercial emails. Updates are a pain. And it is the kind of software that people should keep up-to-date.

Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications

Ok, let’s talk about privacy. Email will never be secure because it was not designed to be and there are too many issues.

The subject line and other metadata are not encrypted. (from protonmail website). Most of the people use email to register to accounts and for commercial communications, where all valuables informations are in the object of the email.

There are more private way to communicate with people (like xmpp or matrix for example)

We kill people based on metadata. Well metadata encryption are pretty important.

So giving up convenience for 0 security sucks.

Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?

It would be great if there were an add-on for it. If someone knows how to develop it, please do it, it would improve UX a lot.

But it does not solve the issue completely. On mobile, the issue is still there (I know they have an app but I would prefer to have all my email at the same place). Also, if I want to use nextcloud mail, you have to developp an addon for nextcloud now.

Edit: changed the link for the alternative piped link suggested.

Why is palantir bad ? Do you have some sources ?

No.

Their email service is bad. Why do I need a proton software to use thunderbird ? Why don’t you use open standards for email ?

Lol no. Are you going to audit all the code you use ? You need to trust some organizations to make the audit. You NEED to trust some entities

1. No, you don’t need. It is the concept of federation
2. Yes it does

It is explained on community instances

That mean, you have to go on lemmy.ml and search [email protected]

3. Look for communities in all instances, beehaw.org is nice. If you speak languages other than english, there might be little communities in your languages. I know feddit.de is pretty big if you speak german for example

4. It depends of your browser. For firefox and for chrome

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .

No.

“Nato [stands for] north Atlantic, and both article V and article VI [in its statutes] clearly limit the scope to north Atlantic,” a French official, who asked not to be named, said on Tuesday.

Actually, it is what they said

Despite calls for Nato to work more closely with allies in north-east Asia, France is apparently reluctant to support anything that fuels tensions between the alliance and China.

Of course, it is because France does not want a conflict with China
