@malwaretech > It feels like Proton are being intentionally misleading in their statements [...] so are happy to spread half-truths.Yes, misleading sentence. I can not even ascribe this to ignorance, as MLATs are mentioned below it. It does not matter *who* is requesting the data on customer. Across whole EU targeted business deals with *local* law enforcement presenting the warrant. You do know no details. All you see is a valid warrant what data to hand over. No crime-story on it.Then get back to the MLATs: in most there are "imminent threat" speed lanes, up to the point you have to act on law officer order, you can file a complaint later. Likely a case here.> So if there is a difference between the law of the sending and recipient country, that might mean the MLAT request is denied.This seems very intentionally worded to give the impression that the company can decide. It can not. > misleading statements to make it sounds like they don't cooperate with law enforcementI have not been mislead. Could be I have read their site before signig up.> customers aren't familiar with how legal process actually worksPS. Any data of non-citizen kept on US soil is handed on a whim of US authorities. FISA warrant kicks-in only if a US citizen appears to the party.@protonprivacy

@eff > most sensitive and immutable data” — names, faces, birthdays, home addresses — to their online activityNot at all. This is a strawmen meticously built by #bigTech lobbyists.The #agever is possible without giving up privacy of the users. Just there is no "political will" to make it this way. Once upon a time I tried to push such non-intruding system through RFC editor. I had been told it would be "against policy to be not political" and it will not get thru the IETF. It did not help I was a co-founder of the ISOC Chapter in my country.Will #eff support going thru the IETF process against all that money that is now close to get the whole planet biometrics reaped/robbed? If so I might revive this RFC sketch and bring it to the current times.

@gamingonlinux It would be OK if instead of code generated once someone ai-happy committed their prompt. Then the build pipeline can generate the same code using some future #siliconiac sidekick – from this preserved prompt. No need to look and tinker as it for decades to come should just compile and link. As the side effect of above us all crazy advocates of repeatable builds, rigid maintenance preplanners, and security paranoics will be free to mount our old unicorns and trot into oblivion...

@eff Yes it is not about kids as pushed by the Pals of antir. But in can be about kids and all about privacy.I did it 2001, I can restore it from memory 2026. As I did research about the state of the tech: now what was novelty then now is at the core, ready and humming. So proper #agever can be implemented the same way as in 2001, just all needed infrastructure already is in place. You can have age verification for your kid without puting whole adult population dancing to the skynet camers on their way to wikipedia.Is anybody from the pleiade of NGOs "fighting for freedom" willing to fed me for a month and put a younger MBP on my lap? Or is it all about chasing the rabbit and sending the fundraiser junk emails? PM me.

@keepassxc You can take over malicious domain quite easy.Then you really should take your product to the typo-safe domain name ASAP.

@Gargron > This is not acceptable, plain and simple.This must be taken down ASAP. This is a solution tying EU countries to the US controlled environment, with US describing and treating EU as an adversary.Someone should ask publicly how many crypto coins had flown to the wallets of politicians pushing this insanity.

@filippo > In symmetric encryption, we don’t need to do anything, thankfullyOk. So the IoT garden must rewind to the Kerberos or physical provisioning. I can't imagine lattices on small silicon yet.Thank you, Filippo.

@wackJackle > Do you know how many human beings the United States of America slaughtered?As a Russian propagandist/useful (um agent) you should know that USA atrocities pale in comparison to how many lives Russia rulers slaughtered over Russia's short 600y history.A short reminder of quite recent:Holodomor(~6m). Circassian genocide (~2m), genocide of the Cossacks (~500k), Kazakh famine (~3m), Blacklisting of villages (~2m), Great Purge (~1.2m). Indigenous nations erased off the Russia/USSR map a few hundred thousand to a million lives taken each.Then there is WW2 Stalin and Hitler ignited. 27m (twenty seven millions) USSR subjects perished just because Stalin had delusions Hitler will "prepare" Europe for Russian conquest later. Then the 42m (forty two million) prisoners died in Gulag. Registered deaths. Really some 60m since 1918 to 1990. @Beggarmidas

@fribbledom > fit everything into 640 KBThere were times before computers got that unimaginble huge amounts of RAM (640kB). Then we (I am a greybeard) were forced to code our silicon chess players into the 1kB, GUI included:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1K_ZX_Chess
