Propen | 8 years ago | on: Modern IRC Client Protocol

Is end-to-end encryption going to be part of a modern IRC experience? Please, this is an absolute must. And don't make it optional if possible. Make non-e2ee optional.

Propen | 8 years ago | on: How Firefox Got Fast Again

I keep having the feeling like Google is making its sites unusable on FFX. Same with FB, for example with Chrome m.facebook.com & mbasic.facebook.com serve different pages whereas Firefox gets the dumbed down mbasic content on both domains. I think there are several examples out there where Google does the same.

Signal is about _privacy_ not necessarily anonymity. Understand the difference?

edit: And anyways, if you read their blog posts you can see how you phone number is only required to make it easy to connect for the masses. You already have your social graph in your contact book.

Propen | 8 years ago | on: Google Will Stop Reading Your Emails for Gmail Ads

I'd really love to support ProtonMail but one thing I can't swallow is that there's no server-side search of email bodies (only to/from & subject) because it's encrypted. This kills the possibility of searching through years of newsletters & stuff :/

Propen | 8 years ago | on: Apple Is Trying to Make iMessages More Private

If the msg content is encrypted what metadata should I "worry about" when using WhatsApp IF I am okay with not being anonymous (eg. for everyday use with friends). What can FB tell me based on JUST WhatsApp? (let's say they haven't connected my identities with FB yet)

Hoping more and more people start to show their support for services such as this one by joining and bringing friends. They are running circles around Signal lately.

Propen | 9 years ago | on: The Secret Agenda of a Facebook Quiz

Is it just me starting to really have enough of "secret agendas" of Facebook and other internet giants? What the hell are the legislators doing? Even if you say that the advertising-based business model is OK where do you draw the line? Do they really need to know what kind of a psychologic personality I am and what kind of porn I watch ?! (exaggerating... but who knows nowadays)

It's 2016. They are a financial company. Why aren't they implementing TOTP codes? NIST officially deprecated SMS.
