It immediately asked me to verify my e-mail address (the same one I've had and verified with them years ago). I'm going to have to create another address (a public one) to use, so I can generate new #GPG keys.
Going to have to put something up there for job-hunting purposes. I'll use it as a backup or something, so I've got content there, but whatever I do is not entirely dependent on their goodwill. We all know that we shouldn't willingly give corporations the ability to control us, but I'm hoping to be one of the few that acts on this knowledge. -

Beginning with #Thunderbird 78, #OpenPGP support will be built into Thunderbird and #Enigmail will no longer work.
The set of people with whom I communicate with #GPG is very small and growing smaller, so this will not have much of an impact.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

Not sure that buying Keybase, a company that originally uploaded people's #GPG #privkey by default, is going to add any understanding of security at all. I've avoided them since I discovered they were uploading private keys by default (though I've heard they later changed that) because that indicated they did not know what they were doing.
I am glad that Zoom seems serious about fixing their issues. I just don't think this is advancing toward that goal. Now, instead of one business with severe security issues, they have two businesses which might have such issues.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

Alex (arx@mastodon.zaclys.com)'s status on Monday, 14-May-2018 12:39:06 UTC Alex I don't get it... this #efail / #gpg / #pgp / #smime thing is all over German media (e.g. here: http://www.tagesschau.de/inland/e-mail-verschluesselung-101.html) even though it is totally irrelevant for 99% of people, as almost no one is using PGP encryption for his/her mails anyways and the few that do will most likely have disabled HTML emails (or at least loading of remote content).
It would be much more proportional to write a *shocker* article every single day about how almost all emails are sent with no e2e encryption at all.

You decide to send the info to a newspaper in another country, so they can expose it without you risking your job / freedom / life / family. But the government figured out that #Keybase has the #privkey of many users and has been blackmailing one of their top officials. Is it an acceptable risk to correspond with that newspaper using the #gpg key that you uploaded to Keybase? In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
