  • Two of Maduro’s closest allies — the leftist presidents of Brazil and Colombia — have recently joined a chorus of nations, including the U.S., that have expressed deep concerns about Sunday’s presidential election, which Venezuelan electoral authorities said the president won by seven points.

    I shared this article because of this. Lula supported Maduro before the election but asked Venezuela to release the detailed count of the votes. And Venezuela has not done so yet.

    The opposition claims the election is rigged and the tension is high.

    Maduro warned that a bloodbath would happen after the election if the opposition didn’t accept his victory.

    The situation is worrying for the Venenzuelian people. But you say that how they present the situation is pure propaganda. Do you have a better link?








  • I did not see any racist comments for quite some time. But xenophobic comments were common on threads about Ukraine’s invasion.

    The anti-French sentiment is also present here like in the whole English speaking web.

    The French aren’t known for their hygiene so I am not surprised their river is filthy

    In Belgium: Tartare or Mayo. Andalouse for the gal, thanks In the UK: Salt and Vinegar In both cases: I will have to change seat if you plop yourself in front of me with your poor fries inundated by ketchup. Only the French do that, and it is a Casus Belli in my book.

    Proton does have open-source bridges/proxies, so they aren’t hiding these details from us

    The issue I talked about was not privacy-wise. It just suck to have to use a package that is not in debian repository just to receive commercial emails. Updates are a pain. And it is the kind of software that people should keep up-to-date.

    Proton emails are stored in an encrypted form that goes beyond the simple authentication that is part of the POP/IMAP specifications

    Ok, let’s talk about privacy. Email will never be secure because it was not designed to be and there are too many issues.

    The subject line and other metadata are not encrypted. (from protonmail website). Most of the people use email to register to accounts and for commercial communications, where all valuables informations are in the object of the email.

    There are more private way to communicate with people (like xmpp or matrix for example)

    We kill people based on metadata. Well metadata encryption are pretty important.

    So giving up convenience for 0 security sucks.

    Perhaps Thunderbird could be enhanced to support the Proton features directly?

    It would be great if there were an add-on for it. If someone knows how to develop it, please do it, it would improve UX a lot.

    But it does not solve the issue completely. On mobile, the issue is still there (I know they have an app but I would prefer to have all my email at the same place). Also, if I want to use nextcloud mail, you have to developp an addon for nextcloud now.

    Edit: changed the link for the alternative piped link suggested.
