  • Trump says video showing items thrown from White House is AI after his team indicates it's real

  • I hate to get all conspiracy theory, but the guy knew that a Congressional hearing on the Epstein Files was happening. He is a skilled manipulator. So what does he do to suck all the air out of DC? Nothing. He takes a few days off, his social media goons see the "is he dead?" stuff on X - I'm not even sure that they didn't push it - and then anything he did at any point would be the lead news. So he trots out a super-size nothingburger and the media can. not. get. enough.

    Did that hearing make the "Breaking!" Fox News chiron? Nope. Totally drown out by this guy.

  • I generally don't care about personalities involved in tech. I mean, Peter Theil money also started Brave. If that's not a dealbreaker, then I don't know what is. But tech people get weird at a certain point, and until they do something like sieg heil someone a couple times in a room full of wannabe Nazis, I'm pretty ambivalent if the product works.

    That being said, Brave doesn't spoof or mask canvas info when I've tested it, and IIRC audio info, leaving very specific aspects of browser fingerprinting open. It does spoof fonts, which is great, so maybe they'll get there one day. So it's not a silver bullet or Tor by any means.

    Speaking of which, JS is a very easy way to track people across the internet as well. So I have to manage JS exposure when I need real privacy. So nothing's perfect. No one is superhuman, and everything is subjective. If Brave works for you, cool. I've never trusted it, but I'll use it when the moment demands something more than Vivaldi.

  • Are private email providers worth it?

  • Signal message should be good enough. Though I think part of the Proton version is that by virtue of opening the email you are validated to open the message. Not sure if that means it can be forwarded or what.

  • Should I be concerned about Email responses from my custom email being flagged as spam?

    Jump

  • OK, then it's definitely your blank email from a .sn TLD with an empty message body. That's like 3 huge red flags. The .sn TLD shouldn't be a deal breaker, but it means you will always be scrutinized and need to make any emails with links or attachments look like they're not spam unless the sender and you have some established back and forth already.

    If it were me, I would start up as many free temp addresses as I can and send test emails to them that don't look sketchy AF (text in the body only, then text with a link, then text with a PDF attachment) and see if you get the same results. If you have gmail addresses you can can access to use as well, be sure you use that. The problem with Gmail (in my experience at least) is that once an address pings for spam, it's spam until someone else manually says "oh, no, not spam." Possibly person by person. I've had to rescue more emails from spam than received spam to my inbox I had to dump to the spam folder. I have no idea, but other filters might work the same way.

  • Proton does offer what is essentially a self-contained PGP portal. You send anyone an email and they get a "hey, this is me, open the message below" thing and then a link to a message that's hosted on Proton servers. So your Granny doesn't need to set up a public/private key pair, you can just send the encrypted portal option.

    No idea of Tuta or others do this.

    Plus, no matter who you chose, you personally aren't feeding the Google algo. You can do what I do, which is you leave all the hyper data hungry services in the data eating world, just feeding on each other alone. Then you have real conversations over email or fediverse.

  • First off, are your DMARC, DKIM, and SPF all setup right?

    Next, see of you can test any delays, like if you have another account, have someone email both and see if there's any difference.

  • Oof, I remember reading that exact Parade in 1997.

    It was cringe then. It's possibly slightly less cringe now because of the time capsule 90's-ness.

  • The worst part is you can't opt out as a full real human. You can only opt out one image at a time. So you'll never know what they have to complete the job.
