I like boring tech.
I like standards. I like infrastructure. I like projects that stood the test of time. I like projects that are battle tested, that have wide adoption, that are well understood, that won't break overnight.
It can be pretty. It can be modern(ized). It can be playful. But I want it to be reliable.
@thibaultamartin Sounds like you finally gave #DeltaChat a try 😅
🇩🇪 Today we celebrate #GermanUnityDay – a victory over oppression & mass surveillance.
But history warns us: #ChatControl could bring surveillance back at a scale East Germany could only have dreamed of. It's like putting a spy in every phone with AI as judge.
Let’s defend freedom & say NO to #ChatControl! ✊

Dear @Tutanota would it be technically possible for you accept the setting for #deltachat ?
Thanks in advance.
While #chatcontrol poses an existential threat to the Freiburg merlinux GmbH and distributing #deltachat apps from within the EU to all stores worldwide, it would resist any chatcontrol legislation up to the German constitutional and EuGH courts.
If the EU based company would need to fold in a few years, there would likely be forks distributed outside the EU that will *seamlessly* continue to function. Our architecture and FOSS licensing makes sure of it. See also https://chaos.social/@delta/113417740762852318

Qualcuno usa DeltaChat ? Se sì come si trova ? Vorrei provarlo, , ma peraltro non conosco nessuno che lo utilizzi....
Se ci fosse qualcuno, potrebbe battere un colpo ?
Così nei prossimi giorni provo a configurarlo e magari ci scambiamo due messaggi, giusto per capire se l'ho messo su bene !
I approve of the decision to stop treating unencrypted emails like chats in the Delta Chat interface. But I note that in emails, the 3 dots menu still says "Archive Chat". More consistent for it to say "Archive Email"?

What if a state tries to mandate us as #deltachat app devs/distributors to shut down a chat profile?
Nothing. It can't be done.
We have no list of chat identities, have no handle or data about them, and don't mediate the message transfer.
However, EU #Chatcontrol politicians and Russian authorities would want us to insert backdoors into our FOSS code. But that is nothing than can happen overnight, and we are fine with friendly forks already. Resilient private internet communication ftw :)

Curious to hear people's opinion about Delta Chat...
Especially with an eye on the possibility of mandatory 'client-side scanning' for messaging platforms like Signal and WhatsApp (i.e. turning these messaging apps into a direct eavesdropping device for the police), I'm wondering if Delta Chat might be a good alternative.
Delta Chat is based on email but it functions like an ordinary messaging app. It's PGP end-to-end encrypted, decentralised/federated, open source... so it should be possible for many people to run their own messaging servers, thereby circumventing (possibly, hopefully) the legal requirements of the chat control bill.

Només hi ha una cosa que manté la teva privacitat millor que #DeltaChat: el silenci total.
Missatgeria instantània segura, xifrada i ètica, no monitoritzada per ningú.
Just published my post on DeltaChat and Orgmode ☕️ It’s long, but I felt it had to be this way. In the future I’ll be adding new features and will keep you posted.

Have a great Sunday! 🌞

El meu servidor #chatmail (#DeltaChat) ja porta 99 dies funcionant a la perfecció en aquest servidor compartit molt barat a Hetzner Cloud.
Paga la pena pagar 7,85€ al mes per tenir la màxima #privacitat en la missatgeria instantània, sense preocupar-te de res perquè el servidor chatmail va sol.
Tant és quin dispositiu utilitzi, tots ells estan sincronitzats amb tots els contactes i grups del meu compte a #DeltaChat i, a més, fan de còpia de seguretat automatitzada però sense enviar res al núvol de cap empresa. Que tens un problema en un dels dispositius sincronitzats? des de qualsevol dels altres afegeixes un segon dispositiu i fet.
Fàcil i divertit.
Animada pel que he llegit per aquí, m'he baixat #deltachat. Aviam com va!
No hi ha res que pugui fer un administrador d'un servidor #chatmail (#DeltaChat) per a desxifrar els missatges que passen a través del seu servidor. Els missatges es xifren en els dispositius dels usuaris, el servidor chatmail només fa de transport dels mateixos. I l'aplicació DeltaChat xifra tot per defecte, no és configurable, no es pot desactivar el xifrat.
Ningú pot demanar a un administrador d'un servidor chatmail els continguts dels missatges perquè no pot fer res de res. 💪
