Taiwan and China are two separate countries.

Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they're starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).

Super awesome.

Source? Really dislike all these unsubstantiated claims everywhere.

Just took a look but the reviews for the app seem not great.

The thing which really stops me from Google Maps alternatives is the lack of reviews. Very useful.

Plus, goddamn I wish they would modernize their UIs.

I'd absolutely qualify it as non-secure in this context. Signal is E2E encrypted but there are no systems in place where it understands who's added to a chat and validates access based on ACLs or anything. Authorization policies are critical in securing systems.

I thought you are going to mention that she's receiving an enormous amount of money from the government, even though she's Republican.

I can forgive someone for now knowing who specifically enacted some bill or something, but being simultaneously against supporting people with government handouts while relying on $400K from the government to survive? Wtf.

No, I haven't tried Tutanota because I can't use a client I want. I decided PGP encryption is something I can do client side anyway on the rare case I want it.

Four times???? We're almost diving by zero here. Sanders is basically infinity times more sane.

IMO Gmail -> Thunderbird is a bit flawed since you'd still need a service provider. It could be Thunderbird + Posteo / others (please no ProtonMail).

years are a unit of time and you can't count time

wtf lmfao

No, it isn't just hype. The hype is justified.

Outside of security you have some very really world benefits, like performance gains in various scenarios as well as lots more people willing to contribute and a much better type system (more maintainability).

 

I've been working on my privacy setup and breaking away from Proton. There are a bunch of email providers I looked at, same with email aliases, password managers, etc.

But I don't understand the state of calendars. It feels like they're always shoved into email services, and they're all so crappy looking.

I was able to find one or two Android apps that are open source, and they look like they're 20 years old.

Proton Calendar, for all its faults, looks really good.

Why, in 2025, is there no simple calendar as a service with nothing else included? And why do the UIs all look like complete trash?

I don't get it. Can't one of us hire an intern to take a week to learn a CSS framework and create a decent calendar UI? Am I missing something?

 

Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn't have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it's kind of necessary, but this is not one of them.

Restaurants have had the same size single serving packets for sugar, salt, and pepper for decades now and those are paper, which is much more environmentally friendly. It's even better for usability! With paper, I don't need to go find my scissors like I do for TWW's plastic packets.

I asked TWW if they would consider using paper instead, but got a generic reply that they'll bring it up, but evidently nothing has been done about this.

Is anyone else as disappointed as I am with their use of plastic packets? I care a lot about having clean water for my coffee, and I care just as much about not polluting the rest of the world because of it.
