  • This is why you sign and encrypt the contents of email. If the recipient doesn’t have the public key, they can’t read the content.

    Allowing a service provider to “handle your keys” is tantamount to letting the fox watch the henhouse.

    Proton doesn’t provide IMAP/SMTP access for free accounts, so you won’t be able to encrypt emails locally.

    This ultimately is the tech version of “trust me bro”. This means you are as secure on Proton as you are on GMail, depending upon how you use the service.




  • The thing about Windows, or the thing that is going away, was that it has the possibility of being modified and customised, which made it more freedom respecting than macOS.

    From the windows registry, group policies, PE functionality, Windows was the commercial platform for tinkerers, businesses and professionals. It’s basically what made Windows awesome.

    Now, with ads in the menu, Microsoft being horny for apple’s app store vendor lock-in since Windows 8 and depriving the user of any kind of control, we finally see Microsoft emerge as one of the most evil companies to ever exist.

    Why? Read their history, because even with the good things they did with Windows, there’s a thousand bad, and you should never play devil’s advocate for them. They, nor Apple, deserves it.

    Also: use Linux or BSD, pls.



  • inkscape needs more contributions, both financially and in the way of code.

    The new advanced snapping system is as good or better than Affinity, path effects are an experimental feature that allows you to do batch shaping of a paths nodes using logical and mathematical parameters, CMYK support has landed and Inkscape is charting it’s own SVG standard specifically for vector graphics, design and drawing.

    The font handling was my biggest gripe, but even that’s gotten better.

    Besides the lack of art boards and certain other “nice to have’s”, I think I’ll be switching to Inkscape as a replacement.
