@Tutanota I just realised that all the comments I have added to my contacts over the years, including family-related and medical important information, are gone...

Bugs are becoming more common recently, and this one made me lose data. I'm quite disappointed.

I hope to hear from @Tutanota very soon. Lack of key verification is a major flaw in the technical design of the platform, allowing a malicious Tuta server to read end-to-end encrypted exchanges (both emails and shared calendars).
github.com/tutao/tutanota/issu…
The issue has been opened 6 years ago.

![Message posted on the GitHub issue titled "Manual key verification":
"This issue has been opened for more than 6 years now, with no clear roadmap or even real consideration from the Tuta team. I have to say, I am disappointed.
You keep saying that "[...] Tuta [is] the most secure email service on the market.", but without key verification, a malicious Tuta server can read the end-to-end encrypted emails and shared calendars exchanged on the platform as there is no way to verify the recipients' public key. As explained by @llebout, "all users of Tutanota must trust Tutanota to not provide forged keys and perform an MITM attack". This is a significant flaw in the technical design of the platform, and it does not seem to bother you.
In #198, it can be read that:
> We are aware of the issues with verification, new protocol will support verification, the work is underway
However, your post-quantum implementation has now landed but still no word on the key verification issue.
Could you please stand by what you have said from day 1, that you prioritise security and privacy, and establish a clear roadmap of the work already undertaken or to be done to fix the situation?

In der Anwendung von freier, offener und wirtschaftlich fair betriebener Software sehen die Lukis eine praktische Verbindung zur #Freiheit des Evangeliums und vieler Narrative biblischer Texte.
Das war auch an diesem @luki@kirche.social Wochenende im Theologischen Seminar Herborn wieder zu spüren.
Ganz praktisch ging es z.B. um #GNUTaler, /e/OS, digitales in Kirchengemeinden, #Grist, #Matrix und Bots, #DeltaChat, #ElementX und die Server-Admin bei @hostsharing@geno.social
Die Location war ünrigens einzigartig

🪞 Introducing Mirror Hall, an app to turn any Linux devices into a second wireless monitor!
We use semi-custom P2P screen sharing optimized for low latency. Only Mutter-based DEs are currently supported as *senders*, whereas all DEs work as receivers.
This is our first unstable release, sp please be kind and report issues. If you are an #ARM user, we would love your help testing the gstreamer pipeline on new phones!

Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂
Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.
We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!
