Hey, @Tutanota! I've discovered that in your Android app the file name of an e-mail attachment is cut off if it's too long so that it's impossible to see what file type it is before actually downloading the attachment. That's highly dangerous because the user needs to be able to check whether the file is legit or not before doing something with it. You know, the "holiday photo.png.exe" (or .apk).

"Personal #data of 1.3 million #Clubhouse users has reportedly leaked online"

"The leaked data of Clubhouse users includes names, social media profile names, and other details."

Please, just use Jitsi or any other regular call service instead of unnecessary, additional non-FOS software like Clubhouse that just increases the risk of data breaches or any other attacks.

The last month has seen the rise of the #NFT market with tokens selling for million € worth. Is it here to stay? #poll

The last contribution to #Signal's server software was on April 22, 2020. Due to the sudden commit drop to literally 0 it is no longer possible to seriously call current Signal versions fully open-source.

That has no effect on the messenger's end-to-end encryption or its overall security but it does compromise the trust in the Signal Foundation, especially when considering that they did not give any reason for not disclosing the source code.

How pathetic of Signal, first they blocked all forks from using their server or their name, so they weren't open to cooperation and federation, and now that Iran censored them, they want other poeople to help them selfhosting proxies to them.

I am against censorship but I don't like their modus operandi.

Not on social media?

"We need more than deplatforming – The Mozilla Blog"
https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/ Mozilla is about to enter shady, dodgy business of #deplatforming a.k.a #censorship like Facebook,Twitter and others.
This move is clearly against their values formulated in their Manifesto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Manifesto

What do you think?
Should we start searhing for alternatives ?
