I think there are defendable grounds for saying someone posting about privacy on YouTube is and is not ironic. How surprising or unexpected it is depends on many factors like the poster's goals, threat models, and degree of altruism, user expectations regarding the poster, and congruence or incongruence with all of the above.

When you send an encrypted email to a non-Proton user, you click on the lock icon to encrypt the email and assign it a password, which you need to get to your user. The recipient then receives an email with a link. They click on the link, enter the password and and can then view your email, which to my understanding is decrypted client-side.

They just keep getting worse and worse! I've decided to investigate whether one of the Linux distributions is able to be my daily driver. With everything being a web app these days, incompatibility with business programs I use is no longer an issue. The only question now is, are my peripherals compatible?

I already use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. When I didn't get the results I was looking for, I would reach for Google. But with Google's incessant Captchas, now I've been conditioned to reach for something else.

Buying one or more domains and using those with protonmail gives you 100% portability. Just redirect your domains to a different mail server if you decide to make a switch.

If you set up a domain with Protonmail, you can have unlimited email addresses for that domain, although they all go to the same inbox that way. I like to use a website's name as the user when I sign up with a website, so it's like [email protected]. If I start getting emails to that address from somebody other than Office Depot, I know those rat-bastards sold me out.

Get your own domain and use that with Proton so you can take your email address to whatever email provider you want, or host your own. In the future, switching won't be nearly as hard since you'll just need to redirect the domain to the new email provider instead of changing your email address with everyone, again.

Oh man, Telegram is a total cesspit. Unfortunately there are several l#Ukraine related channels I'd like to follow on there, but I've resisted the temptation so far.

I've never noticed Firefox to be janky, error-prone, etc. and I use a good number of plug-ins, including sandboxed, categorized tabs, no-script, privacy-badger, and an ad-blocker, among others. I don't doubt that the benchmarks say it's slower, but as a practical matter, I've never thought of the browser as slow.

Lavabit was formed and located in the US, while Protonmail was not. As a result, the US had jurisdiction over Lavabit, while it does not have the same level of jurisdiction over Protonmail.

More messenger apps need to be interoperable, with options for leading end-to-end encryption algorithms built into their interoperability protocols.
