Nope, it’s agnostic of email provider; you just need a public/private key pair and an email client that can encrypt and decrypt emails, such as Thunderbird.

How it works, is that both you and the person you’re communicating with each create public/private keys using a tool such as GnuPG. You both publish your public keys to https://keys.openpgp.org/. You never share your private key; if you accidentally reveal or share it, you’ll need to revoke the public key and generate a new pair. When you’re ready to send an email, you download your friend’s public key, and then you encrypt the email with that public key and send it off. The email is encrypted in both transit and at rest on both your email provider’s server and your friend’s server. Your friend then opens the email and uses their private key to decrypt and read it. When they’re ready to reply, they do the same thing with your public key and you can decrypt and read it with your private key.

This guide by the Free Software Foundation can get you up and going! Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to try sending/receiving encrypted email.

Tuta is probably the closest direct replacement.

I left Proton though for Fastmail. Ultimately I just needed a Gmail replacement and it ticked all of my boxes. If I need to encrypt email I’ll just do it myself with OpenPGP.

There’s a Cory Doctorow short story, “The Masque of the Red Death”, that’s exactly this: a bunch of rich, ultra paranoid preppers get together in a bunker after societal collapse. They’re all incredibly selfish and eventually turn on each other. Meanwhile, everyone else cooperates and gets along just fine to survive.

I think it’s called the Unites States now.

I’ve been using OsmAnd (uses OpenStreetMaps) on my iPhone and it’s been pretty great. Uninstalled Apple Maps so I don’t have to deal with this bullshit.

In my experience OsmAnd is way better than Comaps.

In OsmAnd I can type in a business name or an address and not only will it bring up the correct address but it will allow me to navigate. I can do neither in Comaps. Also OsmAnd has CarPlay/Android Auto support with the paid version.

I have 2 rifles with bayonets and a wakizashi that my grandfather acquired from WWII, and a level that my carpenter great-grandfather used.

I’m not terminally online. Who the hell is this Ass Man Gold?

I use Projectivy on my Sony Bravia Google TV. You can set it to auto start as the default launcher so you never see the cluttered mess that is the Google TV launcher.

Except this requires companies to implement OS-level age verification. According to the law, the OS has to ask a user their age when creating an account, then the OS has to implement an API that can be accessed via app stores or websites that provides a general age bracket that the user fits into (under 13, 13 - 16, 16 - 18, 18+). I’m a Pritzker supporter but this is awful legislation that opens the door to more intrusive age verification. And good fucking luck getting this to work on Linux/BSD systems or open Android ROMs.

Oh no, a walking cadaver who hasn’t been relevant since the Clinton administration is threatening to leave. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Yeah it’s a real shame that st.w is run by Section 31 and Admiral Leyton.

I’ve found the clitoris.
