@sanjaymenon I don’t usually give rebrandings much thought but this one doesn’t seem very well thought through. It might resemble a light switch in Germany but to me it looks like a wedge of cheese.
I've been using, and paying for a #Tutanota email for over 3 years now. And I think I'm going to give it up.
After 3 years, it's still not possible to use OpenPGP, I have to use a dodgy system and give a password to everyone I want to email who doesn't use Tutanota.
Searching for emails is a pain, a real pain.
It is not possible to use any client other than Tutanota.
I came from #ProtonMail, and changed because their commercial com. became too aggressive for my taste. I may reconsider...
I tried changing my e-mail from Gmail to something else, and Samsung kept telling me every e-mail I wanted to use was not allowed. For example, Duck dot Com provided by DuckDuckGo was not allowed.
Samsung was in the way of avoiding Google and so Samsung, had to go. I am not going to compromise. The goal is to delete, Google and Microsoft too.
@Morishima@protonprivacy Thanks for recommending our private email service. We're here to fight mass surveillance with technology; happy that you are joining this fight! 💪 Together we can build a better web. 😍 🔒
When will the two largest providers of secure encrypted email make it the default for messages sent between them to be securely encrypted? If even they can't manage it what hope is there for the rest of the email world?
@jgayfer I recommend both. The services provided by #tutanota and #proton are excellent. You can choose one of them with closed eyes and you won’t regret it.
heres a simple color flip of default dark theme on #tuta#tutanota which i discover by accident. i like the crimson shade of red and darker gray elements.
wish @Tutanota would consider adding it as fourth option
I currently read some crime #novels again. Fiction literature. And there are many encounters with police gaining access to someone's (either criminal or victim) #email content, private messages on #SocialMedia, text messages on #phone etc. I wonder if it could be really possible in real world.
Or what would happen if someone use hard disk encryption? Do they have these #data from service providers? Could using encrypted email service like #Protonmail or #Tutanota prevent this? If I understand correctly, emails content is encrypted in rest.
Are regular data deletion, history cleaning and/or disappearing messages (like #signal features) effective for this?
If someone avoid big mainstream services, only niche/encrypted/self-hosted ones are they safe?
Is it possible to become immune to this both via software/service choices and online habits? How to achieve this if so?
I don't want to commit crimes, only become "invincible" :blobcatjoy:
@madargon Holy moly. You're pretty much already invisible. 30-32 character passwords should be long enough. Are they made of words or are they randomly generated strings of characters? Mine are ~30 and randomly generated. They took a little time to memorize, but it's worth it for the security.
@detroit_yeet for things I have to memorize they are combinations of words not really existing. I was creative kid/teen, trying to create own languages, writing fantasy stories for myself with difficult to read names etc. - so I found my old notes and mashed the weirdest words in long, even more difficult to read strings. Sometimes I replace letters with numbers which has the same colour for me (I am synesthete btw, and it also gives some bonus points to memory, like some RPG character buffs, it's my secret why I could remember some IP addresses, my debit card number or some other weird things :D) My Yubikey or other numeric PINs are word-to-number translations. I don't even remember numbers, only words and I "calculate" numbers from these words in my head every time I have to use them, this way is easier for me.
I feel like creation of data is a modern day problem and the way to improve invisibility is reducing data production. Last days I thought my grandma who never used internet and doesn't want to is way more safe than most people :D Or my mother who use it very rarely, mostly when she had to for work. When someone use web regularly, data problem begins... :/
