@Aliyan With the client code being open source, everybody can build the client themselves, run it locally, verify that the open source code is being used. Even if we published the server code open source, this would not be the case: No one would be able to verify that the open source server code is actually running on our server. Lastly, all the encryption takes place locally on your device (end-to-end encryption) so our servers don't see your encrypted emails and can't read your data
@Aliyan “No one would be able to verify that the open source server code is actually running on our server.”
The point of free software is that people don't have to. If the server code is free software, people self-host it instead of depending on a server they cannot verify or modify. Here Tuta seems to have a conflict of interest with users.

Approximately 0% of all mail an Tuta is E2E-encrypted. Mail that comes from other mail server (approximately 100% of all mail) comes in unencrypted.
Tuta also handles a lot of metadata that is only partially obfuscated by encryption, and does black box E2E key exchanges.
404 Media - DOGE website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone. 404media.co/anyone-can-push-up…
No longer in charge, Sen. Mitch McConnell has been speaking his mind. The long-serving former Republican leader rejected President Donald Trump’s more high-profile Cabinet nominees.
@JustinMac84 I wish him good luck, but he should have listened when he had real power to do something about his party. Instead, he let it to be overtaken by crooks of all kinds.
Screen caps of Musk’s now password-protected DEI.gov site (hosted by Automattic) that lists government waste using seemingly-LLM-generated claims and which has already had one entry debunked in replies: fedihum.org/@lavaeolus/1139986…

My change-detection just caught something big:
dei.gov got registered around one week ago - for some days it was empty.
Staggering sales drops, swastika-daubed EVs, companies culling fleet models, and fan-forum owners selling their cars—Elon Musk's alt-right antics are seriously impacting his electric car business.
New from 404 Media: anyone can push updates to the Doge.gov site. Two sources independently found the issue, one made their own decision to deface the site. "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN."
🗳️ Der Chaos Computer Club fordert seit Jahren: Software, die zur Durchführung von Wahlen verwendet wird, muss #OpenSource sein!
👍 Das finden wir auch!
Und nicht nur das: Alle Software in der Verwaltung muss unabhängig überprüfbar sein, damit Sicherheitslücken schneller geschlossen werden können und ein Einfluss von außen ausgeschlossen werden kann. 🔍
➡️ Die nächste Bundesregierung muss dafür sorgen, dass Open Source überall in der Verwaltung zum Standard wird.

It is reported that the Home Office has ordered Apple to build a backdoor into its encrypted services so that they can get hold of content that any Apple user has upload to the cloud.

Hi! I'm creating this request to be reunited with Mia, my support cat. She's been an essential part of my life for almost nine years, and due to financial constraints, I was unable to bring her with me when I immigrated from Venezuela. I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who is willing to donate and help me bring Mia back into my life. 🧡🤍🖤

As of Ableton Move V1.3, released a few days ago, you can now sample from audio sent to the USB C port. This is useful enough as it is stated, I.E. you can make a sound with a synth on your Mac or PC, then instantly sample it into Move without rendering and uploading a wave file, or connecting a line input and sampling it through the Move DAC. However, for those of us who rely on accessibility, there is another hidden benefit.
Let's say you're on an airplane or something. You have an iPhone or Android with USB C, and you want to access Move Manager at move.local, so you can use the built-in web-based screen reader. Traditionally, this needs a Wi-Fi connection, but since you're on a plane, that doesn't work. The Move's USB C port also acts as an Ethernet connection, so you can theoretically just plug your phone into USB C, then open your browser and go to move.local. Yep, that works fine, except... oops, you're also a Voiceover/talkback/some other screen reader user, and audio gets routed away from the phone to absolutely nowhere... at least, that used to be the case. Now, you can select USB C in the sample mode, and it will pipe audio from whatever is sent to that port to Move's built-in speakers or the headphone jack. Thus, it's now possible for blind and visually impaired operators to use Move's screen reader when completely offline, with no way to access Wi-Fi without having to deal with a bunch of splitters, cables and mixers. I bet they didn't even think of that use-case, but I'm happy to see it.
Since sample mode doesn't talk yet, the best way I've found to make this work is to connect your device to Move's USB C port, wait until speech goes away, press sample, then click the wheel until your device starts making noise through Move's output. There are now three options that are toggled when clicking the wheel on the first item in sample mode. The default is to record from Move's mic/line-in, second is resampling, and third is USB C. The USB C option, far as I can tell, only appears when a device is connected to the USB C port.
I asked the #OpenSSL team about their new #QUIC API:
Out of curiosity: since you decided to provide a quite different API than what was once offered to you and what several QUIC stacks are already using. How did you come up with this API?
We provide some callbacks for third party QUIC stacks to use in order
to be able to reuse the OpenSSL TLS implementation in that stack. This is
essentially a thin wrapper around the same API that O...

nice. My only criticism so far is that the themes have gone. I’ve had my versions of LiO with the green theme for the last 10-15 years or so and now the themes are down ti just a couple, mostly coordinating with just the light or dark system backgrounds instead of all the various patterns and color schemes.
I’ve trashed 25 and re-installed the latest 24. As soon as my MacBook M1 Pro switched to dark mode everything went black on the page and dark on the tool/side bars and no matter what theme I tried or how I changed the colors in appearance manually, everything stayed dark, even this morning after I waited for the system to come out of dark mode LiO didn’t. I love LiO but something isn’t right with 25, at least on ARM Macs running Sequoia.
@Oiselarius Sorry to hear that! Can you please send a quick report to our QA community with a screenshot at bugs.documentfoundation.org so that they can investigate – thanks!
#Movuary day 14: The result of having a portable radio connected to Move's line-in jack is that occasionally you hit 'Sample' at a time when you can make a beat out of the resulting thing. In this case, it's an advert for an event happening on whatever date it was, between '8 till 10' and so this clip became the basis of my pointlessness.
Sorry for being less active lately; I should have used the override process earlier. It is at consensus. By the time I added it, the domain stopped resolving. It replaced the old domain on FediNuke. If it stays down, I will eventually remove it altogether.
Update: parcero.casa is back under the “ak” subdomain.
This is why I don’t usually remove dead instances until they have been dead long enough to decompose or until I have proof of the death being permanent.
Ahead of the Trump-Modi news conference we're getting word AP has been prevented from attending the event open to all White House press. It's the third consecutive day the Trump administration has punished the global wire service for not replacing 'Gulf of Mexico' with 'Gulf of America' in its dispatches.
"...a "a deeply troubling escalation of the administration’s continued efforts to punish The Associated Press for its editorial decisions." - AP Executive Editor Julie Pace
Barring AP reporters from today’s Trump-Modi news "is outrageous and a deeply disappointing escalation of an already unacceptable situation" with the White House seeking to curtail the press freedoms and punish a news outlet for not advancing the government’s preferred language. - WHCA President Eugene Daniels
