@FediFollows @protonvpn @ProtonCalendar Thank you for recommending our suite of secure products! Your support means a lot to us.
@protonmail @ProtonCalendar @protonvpn @FediFollows I suggest avoiding #ProtonMail until they fix their #CAPTCHA problem. Protonmail is forcing people to solve an #hCAPTCHA. And worse, it's occasional, so users may only encounter the CAPTCHA after they've distributed their @protonmail address to others, at which point users are trapped.
@FediFollows @protonvpn @ProtonCalendar @protonmail #Protonmail claims the #CAPTCHA is to mitigate abuse, but they push the CAPTCHA to those simply trying to *read* messages (hardly a vector for abuse). The fact that they are using an hCAPTCHA indicates they are doing this for profit. That is, hCAPTCHA pays Protonmail every time a user solves the CAPTCHA.
@protonmail @ProtonCalendar @protonvpn @FediFollows i currently have unread messages that are trapped by #Protonmail's #hCAPTCHA, even though my account is quite old and proven to be a non-abusive account.
@teqcritic @resist1984 @FediFollows @protonvpn @ProtonCalendar @protonmail but like, it's in the AUR, right? #Arch based distro users can still use #Electronmail?
@SaulRS951 @protonmail @ProtonCalendar @protonvpn @FediFollows @resist1984 I don't know what AUR means. All linux users can install #Electronmail given enough effort. The .deb file does not simply work for #Bullseye users because a dependency has been removed. There is a replacement library but it's not a drop-in replacement (the client src must be adapted).
@teqcritic @protonmail @ProtonCalendar @protonvpn @FediFollows @resist1984 Ok, I will need to try it myself. Also AUR = arch user repository
@SaulRS951 @resist1984 @FediFollows @protonvpn @ProtonCalendar @protonmail There is no bug report filed in the bug tracker for #Electronmail, but it's the same bug as this one: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4761
@teqcritic @resist1984 @FediFollows @protonvpn @ProtonCalendar @protonmail ok, I guess I gotta get out of bed and try this
@resist1984 @FediFollows @protonvpn @ProtonCalendar @protonmail #Protonmail just became less interesting to #Debian users in particular. The only 3rd-party FOSS desktop app with static js is #Electronmail, and Electronmail cannot be installed on the next Debian release (#Bullseye). This means Debian users will be forced to trust dynamic js from the website.
