I thought Pablo was the one to propose it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I haven't followed the discussion but imagine the distaste boils down to the added complexity all while not being a perfect solution. If nostr were centralize, this wouldn't be a concern since we could shove key delegation down everyone's throats.

nostr:npub16r0tl8a39hhcrapa03559xahsjqj4s0y6t2n5gpdk64v06jtgekqdkz5pl I hear you, but it's not mandatory so you have to opt-in

"Anyone with a paid Proton plan can take advantage of Dark Web Monitoring."

There is a toggle button.

Without sharing my client guide here, the gist is that I recommend Proton be used in a compartmentalized way, with your "official" main front-facing account using your real name and/or personal domain "business" email for official purposes. This is a huge win over using Google for most people.

There are 15 @protonmail.com etc addresses that can be used for forwarding old email (to a pseudonym email) another for purchases, another for banking, an anonymous email with just random numbers for other purposes etc.

One can then use the unlimited simplelogin aliases (they have the ability to send mail from the alias, not just receive...unlike the current built-in proton aliases) to avoid spam/breaches.

It is best in class for these purposes.

You can then sign up with another account for just VPN, another account for anonymous email not associated with your itentity, or use provider for other purposes where anonymity is essential.

Thanks for the correction, I will edit the originality post!

It's not like people don't like, but more that it's though to coordinate all clients to support it in a consistent way.

Wouldn't that require a sort of WoT but for relays? Otherwise, how can I trust a relay is not just making stuff up about someone?

Repudiation is desirable (I believe SimpleX is actively working on it) ofc.

But the lack of it does take away the advantages of message timers in 99% of cases. It's a passive defense for when you are not being actively targeted.

Yes, if chatting with a fed and confessing a crime, it won't save you.

Friends and family cannot cope when I set 7 day message timers on Whastapp, Signal and SimpleX.

But when I tell them how would they like it if all their in-person conversations were recorded indefinitely, they suddenly get me.

Online messaging should be off the record BY DEFAULT.

My wife casually interrupts my work meetings just for me to open a jar.

Even when we have a fight, the need to open a jar is often what makes peace.

Why are there no conspiracy theories about the atomic bomb, i.e. it never happened, like the moon landing or the holocaust?

A bomb with the power to wipe out a city sounds just like the perfect thing for conspiracy theorists to call as fake.

Society is not consistent.

I followed nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 's "Sparrow standard" for providing signatures and checksums for GH releases:

* A manifest txt file with sha256 sums of each artifact

* A signature file of the manifest file

I like it but didn't really investigate alternative ways to do it. Are there some other schemas you would recommend/like?

I'm just trying to learn best practices as I go.
