@jrballesteros05 Searching the web for solutions to Linux issues isn't the only thing that gets those Linux issues fixed. You can be a web search guru and waste a lot of time, but all that is useless if there's no useful info to be found. There's less useful info about Windows online, because the average Windows user is less technically literate, and because that one is also less careful about documenting his troubleshooting quest to help others.

@rudolf If only email didn't have its own share of drawbacks...

@rudolf No, the main reason being that it's almost impossible to register an anonymous mailbox nowadays.

@rudolf Are you sure? Yandex bent over to Kremlin before Putin's "reelection" almost two years ago and locked even existing mailboxes that were accessed through Tor. They started to blackmail users to provide real personal data like name and mobile phone number.

@rudolf Having one email for everything is wrong, you lose access to it for whatever reason and any account that's tied to it is lost as well.

@rudolf With gmx.de I don't even see an obvious way to switch to interface to English. And the signup form seems to be asking for personal data like name and phone number as well. Free email used to be different twenty years ago. Nowadays it looks like honeypots.

@mwt @rudolf That's just another problem with email. Protonmail isn't anonymity friendly either, good luck creating an anonymous mailbox over Tor there.

@rudolf Yandex became Tor hostile two years ago. Putin is still in charge. Do you want me to believe Yandex became Tor friendly lately?

@rudolf I will summarize again:- DeltaChat relies on email- registering an anonymous mailbox (over Tor) is almost impossible, or requires too much time to find a low profile mail service that allows it- hence DeltaChat is inconvenient for meThat's all.

@PublicNuisance I bet this will get stuck in the media censorship net of many countries, as in local news will never mention it.

@xpil If you don't count some flooded land next to the dam. And even more if the dam fails later.

Hey @fosstodon, what does "unrecognized IP address" mean to you? I've been always using this instance over Tor, but today is the first time when I was locked out and was sent a security code to email to confirm it's me. I'm happy Fosstodon is Tor friendly (was until now, at least), but I'm certainly not happy about the idea of having to go through this every time. You're not turning into ... cough ... Facebook, are you 🤣

@kev @Ged @brandon @fosstodon So this is a global server preference, not something that an user can turn off in his account preferences?

@fatboy Isn't having officially built-in spyware effectively nulling NDAs? How can an employer that's using spyware OS force employees sign an NDA?

Second time in a row I'm being told I'm logging from another device, which is a lie. This is not additional security, this is tracking advertised as security. To me, this is the proof that Rochko is indeed a sellout to the mass surveillance project that is EUNOMIA. Doesn't matter that much anymore, a third time won't happen.
