The concept of herd immunity is weird. Either you're vaccinated and safe, so someone who didn't get the untested vaccine shouldn't matter to you or getting the vaccine doesn't actually work, so there's no point to take the risk.

Especially now, that everyone was forced to stay indoors more and thus has a weakened immune system from not getting enough Vitamin D. If your immune system is weakened, getting a vaccine is the same as getting the virus itself. That's why you're not supposed to get vaccinated during or shortly after a sickness, which has the same effect of weakening your immune system.

Yea i understand the privacy side of it its as simple as a true or false box. it could be compared to being a sex offender or not. if you are its public if you arent its not. obviously they are not the same but you get the idea.

While I'm not against the idea 'in theory', it's just the first time (as far as I know) that sharing medical data about individuals has or will occur at this level.

My weariness is less about the vaccine itself and more about the 'register' and the ability to prevent free travel.

im personally not against this my parents are both PHDs and have reviewed the papers on the vaccine and my uncle is a doctor and already took it and is doing fine. the reasoning behind the register is to encourage people to take it so we can reach herd ammunity. also to help countries deny visitors who might be infected.

Thanks for sharing I will take a look at them.

No thanks.

Look at Tutanota and the recent forced backdooring.

Do you have a source for this? The only news I've found is Tutanota being forced to hand over new outgoing and incoming emails of one user who was a suspected criminal, not a backdoor for the whole service.

good, https://deletefacebook.com/

put both them in jail, niggers are niggers. fuck capitalism

Actually, that is not correct. Current versions of Briar allow a user to add a contact remotely.

What was the test? As far as I can tell, it looks like a totally legit email. It originated from an internal corporate email address and was not asking for any personal information. Did I miss something?

I'll check it out, thanks!

Knowing GoDaddy, I doubt it.

This is a really interesting read. Good find!

I'm going to pin this for a little while just because it's a damn thorough read with good content.

I'm not affiliated with the creator in any way, just thought it was worth the extra attention that pinning it may bring.

Did the ones who passed the test at least get the bonus?

Ha, that's pretty good.

At Cellebrite, however, finding new ways to help those who make our world a safer place is what we’re dedicated to doing every day.

I feel safer already.

replace "russian hackers" with "CIA via russian vpn tunnel" and it makes a lot more sense.

If have rooted your phone, you can use something like OAndBackup and copy the backup files to another phone and restore it there. But I don't think a lot of people have root. Would be great if they implemented it though.

Although some points are worded a bit... extreme, they make sense.
Protonmail DOES redirect you to their clearnet site for signing up, but this doesn't mean they are compromised.
And as far as E2EE is concerned, this depends on your threat level. You could use a different email provider (or self-host) and manually encrypt your messages. Or you could trust somebody to do this for you. And as far as a normal user is concerned, protonmail is a good start. Other claims in the article do seem far-fetched.

Possibly. I'm just using it on my Debian desktop. Let me take a look at the settings again. If you don't mind testing it out with me (sending me an email, me sending one back) then shoot me a PM. If not, no worries.

That's odd. I use it via thunderbird on tails everyday, via their onion servers. Maybe it's because thunderbird on tails comes pre-configured to use Tor? Also I think they use imap and not pop3.

I also have a paranoid.mail address, but it's unclear to me if they're still "around". Although I was able to get the clearnet mailservers working fine, and I love the pop3 access, I wanted to use it over TOR and no matter what, with the information provided, I couldn't get Thunderbird to accept the TOR mailservers.

The next step is rather to have personal end-to-end, peer-to-peer communication systems.

Which some platforms have, it seems, but then you're stuck communicating to only those within that platform. I believe ZeroNet has something similar, where you could technically email me at nxm9c2wjbjlhjsrc@zeroid.bit but I never check it because no one ever uses it. You can also mail me on I2P's network as well, at (I forget) @mail.i2p, but once again, it's network specific.

Whoever can get the major networks and up-and-comers to agree upon some sort of standardized P2P E2E encrypted mail system that can be accessed from anywhere, then you'd have a winner.

But I doubt that's possible with all the various networks working hard to implement their own vision.
