Nice story, but we shouldn't trust that technology is not improving further. What we see now is only just the beginning.

Not sure, but it seems like from a usability perspective it's easier for apps to 'just connect' people in your contacts via the phone number. From a privacy perspective, though, it's much better what Threema does. That&#

Yet, it is a utility by now. Who could live or work without it? A country cripples its economy in the long run if they do not realize that.

Totally agree with this. Yes, with privacy it's hard to 'eavesdrop' on the bad guys, but isn't it allowed to whisper? Why should having privacy be ok in real life, but not when you communicate digitally? So far no one ha

Tesla stocks have been overrated; everybody said so. The bubble doesn't pop as long as people believe it keeps growing. Most have stopped believing.

I once had an issue with Microsoft at work and had to get MS support to help me. They literally called me on the landline and asked for remote control of my computer. It was totally legit. Still I felt uncomfortable and asked for a Teams se

Exactly this. I mean it starts with one thing, but in the end we will only be able to use the internet if we link your online identity to our passports and gov will know literally every site we've ever visited.

I agree. Design updates in email clients are not that important - unless it actually also improves usability. Unfortunately, most apps just want to look fancy, not focusing on functionality.

I prefer paying for services, e.g. Tutanota, Anonaddy, Bitwarden, Guardian. Why do people take everything on the web for free? Of course, companies need to make money - if not with subs, then with ads. What else should they do?

This is not surprising as Austria, France and Denmark have already concluded the same.

Theoretically, yes. Practically lots of companies still ignore GDPR rules or have just not prioritized doing so (yet). If the business is tracking people and selling data, some just keep going until a fine hits...

I've been using alias addresses since forever, though with Tutanota, not Proton (due to cost & nice app). It's great when you can simply deactivate an address and the spam stops coming.

Definitely, it doesn't feel right anymore. I like what Tutanota does instead: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/black-friday-hype I really like their service and their attitude towards Black Friday makes me lik

That's interesting. It shows the struggle of sustainable solutions: Water power vs fish population; wind power vs bird population. Such arguments, however, are distorted by lobbyists of coal, oil and gas. After all, no one is asking ho

When I first heard about the issue, I changed the system clock to one day before 2038. Once day later, all sorts of things crashed. It's amazing how dependent we are on these things. Hopefully, we'll get it fixed, we've got l

Crypto is a ponzy scheme and always has been. The FTX disaster is just another sign of this.

It's a first step, but to me it feels like they just cross-post from twitter.

>It reminded me of when I was considering trying to move all of our customers to receive PGP encrypted mail in 2005. An intelligent employee brought up that an average business person would never do that. Luckily we never implemented it.
