The #EUGoingDark 42-point plan for after the election has it all: breaking e2e encryption, "lawful" data retention, prohibiting encrypting metadata, threatening jail to developers for non compliance ..... If we thought authoritarian political currents are moving against privacy then this is an entirely new level ... patrick-breyer.de/en/first-ins…

P.s. we need more #chatmail servers and contributors so that our #deltachat app-dev conglomerate provides resilience against such authoritarian pipe dreams


First insight: 42 key points of the secret #EUGoingDark surveillance plan for the new EU Commission

After Sunday‘s European elections, the EU is planning to reintroduce indiscriminate communications data retention without suspicion and force manufacturers to allow law enforcement access to digital devices such as smartphones and cars.

I think my preference for IM might be going to #Deltachat for now. I dislike that Signal wants a phone number and is centralized and won't let F-Droid build and distribute a client. Also, I've been using Matrix and operating a server for years and I was a fool it's bad and I want to quit.

Deltachat works with any email account and uses it for everything, it's basically E2EE chat over IMAP and SMTP using a subset of OpenPGP. It's simple, FOSS, works fine, has stickers!

I'm currently working on a new npm package that will replace deltachat-node (which is still based on the cffi and NAPI).
The new npm package will make use of the #reproducible buildable deltachat-rpc-server binaries, which will make cross compiling much easier.

A nice side-effect to this is that the new npm packet is even somewhat compatible with #deno
Nice work on the part of Deno for their node compatibility!

Let me know If you would be interested in writing #deltachat #bots with #deno

#cryptography news: rpgp, the pure Rust #OpenPGP encryption engine used in all #deltachat apps, got quite some love lately, including a revamp of the main entry point for developers: github.com/rpgp/rpgp . You may regard rpgp as an extension of the #rustcrypto effort where a lot of the base code lives and is co-maintained by the wonderful diginifiedquire who also just landed a long awaited sha1-collision detector -- as one of the few people officially allowed to write crypto code :)

How many people do you know that have lost their messaging history on Whatsapp or Signal, photos etc during mobile phone transitions or breakage or through other shenenigans?

With #deltachat you can:

- export "everything" to a file and import it on any of the many different devices

- or just setup a second device through a QR code scan -- which was happily discovered here after an accidental factory reset libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2…

While #DeltaChat #Android paved the way for reactions, #iOS and #Desktop did not stand back with awe!
But ran ahead!
Adding tons more possible reactions than poor #Android that could react with 👍👎❤️😂 or 🙁 only! Mostly with 🙁 :)

🔔 The next version will also bring multi account notifications to desktop.

🔕 You will also be able to mute accounts so you don't need to mute all chats by hand in your casual mailing list account.

For macOS users we removed the window titlebar, inspired by a popular proprietary gaming chat app. I think it looks quite cool now 😄

screenshot of delta chat desktop showing the things I spoke about in the post. The hamburger menu next to the search is gone and next to the search is now a button to open the qr code scanner. The accounts in the sidebar show the different unread badges: blue background for normal unread, grey for unread messages in muted accounts. If an account is muted but has no unread a badge with a mute icon and grey background is shown.

Updated the time tracking #webxdc app again with a few smaller bug fixes.
And the experimental autocompletion for labels to the edit- and create-page.

new version number is 0.8.0.

You can get it from github or from xstore@testrun.org (right inside of #deltachat).

In the future versions you will be able to switch between accounts more easily while staying informed about new messages from all accounts.

In this sidebar there are many accounts in squares with rounded corners, some of them have unread badges indicating the number of unread messages in that account.

> Leider steht uns gegenwärtig keine Möglichkeit offen, Threema Push für iOS zu implementieren, doch wir hoffen, dass Apple die Einschränkungen, welche das verhindern, überdenken wird.

Das hätte #deltachat auch gerne. Es existiert eine api um eigene push notification services zu machen, aber die ist nur auf hardcoded private LTE/WIFI Netzwerk ids limitiert:

Kann auch sein dass ich das missverstehe, aber das scheint zu sein was wir wollen.

@DrMarkussi @wuethrich @98e028dw Naja, man kann jetzt ja darüber streiten, ob #briar unsicher ist, weil es z.B. anders als #DeltaChat kein iOS Client, keine SprachNachrichten und keine MuktiDevice Funktion hat... Oder ob es nicht vielleicht genau andersrum ist ;-) Aber witziger Ansatz mit den Punkten um das irgendwie zu ranken.
