  • Alors du coup, oui, mais justement ces tentatives de surveillance sur nos communications sont des tentatives de mettre fin à l'État de droit (de la même manière que la mise en avant des GAFAMs est anti-démocratique, on ne peut parler de "parts de marché" de Windows et Linux que dans le cadre d'une marchandisation de notre mise en ordre du réel par intelligence augmentée -- cf. Garfinkel, 1966).

    C'est pour ça qu'on s'inquiète, l'Histoire a prouvé que la pédocriminalité, le blanchissement d'argent, le narcotrafic, et le terrorisme n'étaient que des prétextes; Schneier a publié un billet abondamment référencé et commenté à ce sujet, "The Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse".

  • Tu parles sans doute de l'État de droit ?

    (Un groupe de potes peut être démocratique, une organisation politique peut être démocratique, mais ça ne me rassurerait pas sur la confidentialité de mes conversations privées.)

  • I wasn't talking to you. This is none of your business.

  • Sorry, missed the Office part but both Cozy Cloud and Nextcloud support OnlyOffice. It's 12€/month at Cozy Cloud though, and the service is France-centric… For now.

  • You're missing the point. I will source my post (because I'm a nice and, frankly, jobless person) even tho I was answering to the OP, because this is a public document.

    But you're the one coming out of the wood with baseless claims. Every serious privacy guide claims that you shouldn't use OpenPGP for opsec, which is well beyond degoogling anyway, so why are you even recommending ProtonMail over cheaper offers like Nubo, Mailo, or any other indie mail provider? Why are you suggesting another data silo in a degoogling community?

  • Coucou, en anglais j'utilise Emacs et Denote, pour plusieurs raisons :

    • interface purement textuelle, ce qui implique une énorme satisfaction kinétique avec un clavier méca (C-u C-c C-c en Ergo-L :>)
    • gestion de Markdown + Org => gestion des événements => compatibilité native Mastodon + Mobilizon,
    • interopérable (tout est dans le titre),
    • extensible (en Emacs-Lisp),
    • Org, donc compatibilité avec la méthode PARA et elfeed-org dans la même syntaxe,
    • possibilité d'export Beamer quasiment OOTB,
    • possibilité de produire des diapositives de conf avec C-w, C-y, et TAB (au format PDF),
    • Emacs donc compatibilité avec spray.el et nov.el,
    • Emacs donc une interface unique pour tout (mêmes commandes, même thème pour Lemmy, lire des livres, gérer ses tâches, naviguer sur Gemini, chatter, et rédiger programmer des documents),
    • Emacs donc documentation hors-ligne à travers les pages info et l'auto-description des commandes, variables, etc. (e.g. C-h v)
    • Emacs donc accès à une excellente communauté insérée dans la recherche (logique, c'est le meilleur outil)…
  • lawn enforcement agencies

    Good morning Sir,

  • Politics aside, the OpenPGPjs library would be a viable alternative with a client side checksum program, but sure enough, the builds are reproducible.

    Until then, this isn't even technically true.

    For example, you can't import your emails with the POP3 so when your mailbox gets full you can't even pay for one month and download them all while deleting them from the server.

    It isn't usable for free accounts and there was pre-4.0 a cult-like trend on the support subreddit to disclose your tier. I'm not aware of any moderation post, or note, asking users to stop this practice (u/ProtonMail was listed as a mod account).

  • I was going to add sources anyway, I've only had 3 hours of sleep last night, but you need to understand that we don't owe you resources. I, for one, don't know you. I wasn't talking to you when you approached me with a nominal sentence, and you need to acknowledge that you base your tone on the assumption that I didn't consent to this conversation.

    So of course I'm still considering blocking you. Going this route, you would keep the same entitled, passive-offensive tone.

    As rude as it is, people will only adapt to this by drawing boundaries in a more cohesive, efficient way. You need to check your attitude, and to embrace the resource-centric nature of the internet. Improve your tooling.

  • Thank you.

  • Tired. In auto-pilot mode for the last 3 hours.

    Part of it is based on the OpenPGP standard itself, e.g. you only need the passphrase to decrypt your emails, not to encrypt them and certainly not to change your settings.

    Part of it is based on experience.

    Part of it actually needs a few sources; the Lavabit part is speculative but solid, there are bread crumbs all over the web.

  • I'm tired but:

    • you'd need to compare the checksums of their web-based cryptography at every login,
    • you could use their bridge but you'd need to give your OpenPGP passphrase to change your settings, for no reason
    • they have the CIA at their administration council,
    • they have an history of unethical behavior toward Twitter survivors,
    • they have an history of spreading conspiracy theories,
    • they have an history of contacting hosting providers asking them to remove blog posts,
    • they didn't share the Lavabit fundraiser so they could get quietly issued a US National Security Letter (overriding the First Amendment and preventing Ladar from appealing),
    • they can access to your entire mailbox anyway, not just to the email contents,
    • this has enabled the arrest of Social and Climatic Justice activists, they replied they couldn't resist a Swiss court order (so that's not their fault I guess, the tech is just bad)…

    Why would you trust them for your opsec, and why would you enable them further?

    Alternatives include Disroot, Nubo, and Zaclys.

  • I may sound too radical, but I'd go so far as to support a common Logseq knowledge graph.

  • Hi, this is an excellent answer.

    I didn't mean to dismiss online resources, but to highlight the continuous entrepreneurship in dismissing foundational knowledge. My post was honestly, rather bad for the reasons mentioned a few minutes ago, but the sentence “Linux is only free if your time has no value” erases the pleasure of reading books and getting new skills. It literally means that free and open source software can't be more useful than whatever Google and Microsoft are developing, which doesn't even include passwords managers.

    Secondly, the difference you make between free and open source software are very interesting but to my understanding, it may boil down to the freedom 0 : free software is made for everyone, whereas open source software is made for specialized communities. Because most people don't even write simple software, and I'm not talking about enterprise-level complexity here, most open source software is written for other developers. I've observed thousands of anonymous messages which coincidentally blurred the difference between free software and open source software by e.g. promoting the sway window manager that we know and love. On 4chan at least, calling people to hurt themselves has become an acronym (to whomever reads this, please don't hurt yourself).

    I'm not sure my own definition of free vs. open source software is the right one, but I know the actual difference is leveraged to kill people – comrades even.

    And finally, I agree about everything else. I didn't properly develop about GNU software because I was trying to leave my screen.

  • Hi, it may depend on the background, but personally I've been stuck on problems for months, only to solve them by spending 2 hours reading a book. I'm talking about basic self-taught tools like Git, your first programming language, and so on – Microsoft and Google build and leverage platforms to keep specific demographics stuck for years, and to some extent, to kill them.

    I'm not talking about solving problems on a complex stack with tools that you already know, but rather about learning to program the output of a Skribe document as a social media-addict 4chan user. We're not even talking about Makefiles here, but about hundreds of thousands of people actually giving a hand to free software development, instead of trying to change the world in free form fields.

  • Merci beaucoup !

  • Alright, that's pretty cool, sorry – I thought it was a list of links automatically inserted in lieu of comments.

    I've been trying to get into the IndieWeb for years, but I've been struggling to implement it. Doesn't it rely on a central server too? Can we use it in a fully e.g. decentralized or federated way – would it even make sense, or could we easily switch to another flagship server, as we did with the Freenode takeover?

    Please feel no pressure to reply, I can do my own research

  • Thank you, a tip for finding valuable resources is to add the best tools to your query, e.g. "org emacs para method".

    You may lookup specialized jargon on Wikipedia, and then merely append them to your query.

  • Hi, because there are messages on 4chan claiming that “Linux is only free if your time has no value.”

    Thank you for the nice message, but to be honest, I regret posting it. I should've put more care into the style – anyway, there have been daily persistent anti-free software messages on 4chan for more than a decade, leading me to think about Olgina-style contractual workers. Some patterns seem to (1) defend Google, (2) put users back into depression, (3) promote the confusion between libre software and open source software, (4) shatter the EU and US IT work forces over demographic traits, through anti-LGBTQIA+, racist, misogynistic, antisemitic messages.

    Some of these pattern seem to match known Kremlin strategies, others defend the interests of Microsoft and Google so well, matching other patterns I've observed with Android, YouTube, and Windows/Office 365 development, that I'm starting to collect evidence in Denote. I need to sort out coincidences, to account for the fact that many orgs may actually post anonymously on 4chan (including Nazis and orgs false-flagging as Nazis) but that's one hell of a lot of coincidences.
