So it's unclear if #PeakDesign provided any info to the police that may have led to #LuigiMangione's arrest, but we do know this:

>> [Peak Design CEO Peter Dering] told the Times that he called the NYPD tip line to share what he knew and vowed to do “whatever is possible” to identify the shooter, including consulting Peak Design’s legal team to see what he could share with police.

Don't do business with this company.

If anyone wants to send #PeakDesign a message (no threats or other misbehavior obviously) letting them know that WE know and won't forget about that the company is run by a snitch, here's their contact page:

peakdesign.com/pages/support#c…

I just like to directly inform companies when I'm putting effort into negative word-of-mouth about their brand—it's important to me that they know I am personally doing my part to damage their sales if at all possible.

in reply to Artemis

#PeakDesign's statement about it really boils down to "Dering didn't *actually* give away customer information—he just proactively called the cops to ask if they wanted him to try to find customer data." The data either didn't exist or he was told it violated their privacy policies, but he really wanted to be a collaborator. Very reassuring: in this case there wasn't even any useful info—he just wanted to reaffirm his loyalty to the pigs and then brag to the press about it for some reason.

How Keith Jarrett Played on a Broken Piano & Turned a Potentially Disastrous Concert Into the Best-Selling Piano Album of All Time (1975)

openculture.com/2024/12/how-ke…

this morning I've made the choice to close 300 forum sites that have about 275k monthly active users, nearly all from the UK.

I've run forums for over 28 years, and did so to build families for those without families, to try and create a cure for social isolation and loneliness, to combat suicide, to create joy and love out of nothing but connections between people.

and it worked. it still works.

but on the 16th March 2025 I will delete the virtual servers running it all... that date is important, it's the last day before the UK Online Safety Act goes into enforcement.

I run these communities philanthropically, giving my time and money to do so, I ask nothing back, I just help build a nicer World.

but the scope of the Act is too broad, and my forums come under it... it does not matter that it's run by an individual and not a company, that it loses money every month... merely by being linked to the UK and allowing users to speak to users... it's within scope.

the penalties of non-compliance would be so devastatingly ruinous to me, that I don't see I have a choice... I must now perform a social harm to protect myself.

this is devastating.

I cannot even express what these forums have achieved... the marriages, births, support for those with cancer, the love, the communities they have created.

Want to know more about the change from K-9 Mail to Thunderbird for Android? We're answering your questions - three of them, anyway - in this latest installation of Heise.de's "Three Questions and Answers" series!

#Thunderbird #OpenSource #Android

heise.de/news/Drei-Fragen-und-…

in reply to Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

one little question from me: how come Thunderbird for Android has telemetry that goes to Google Firebase and there is no option in the settings that I could find that disables this?

Edit: I found out that it was coming from the Google OAuth login, Thunderbird's telemetry can be disabled from the settings but I don't have that toggle because I'm using the F-Droid version which removes telemetry entirely.

🚨 Update on DDoS attacks 🚨

Earlier this month, Tuta suffered multiple DDoS attacks. But we will not let anyone stop you from using secure & private emails. We’ve strengthened our defenses & are now more resilient than ever. 💪

Thank you for your patience & trust as we continue this fight for privacy together. ❤️

👉 tuta.com/blog/ddos-mitigation

in reply to Tuta

Thanks for the update! It's an interesting tradeoff to potentially let a third party decrypt the incoming traffic to get less to maintain yourselves, but of course much better to build your own solution and keep full control. Especially for a critical service.

It would be interesting to learn about first-party #DDoS mitigation techniques that could be used in other projects where #E2EE is essential. However, I suspect the implementation details used for Tuta can't be shared publicly.
