Proton claims to have encryption at rest for non e2e encryted emails. Of course you need to take their word of it, since they can just make a copy during unencrypted transport. But so far, there's no evidence that they actually do this.

Before you start sharing clickbait headlines like "Proton is compromised", "privacy is dead", etc, just read the whole fucking news article first.

Proton always said they would provide whatever they have (metadata) to Law Enforcement if subpoenaed. That was never a secret or in question. They are an actual registered company...

They still don't nhave access to email body content. E2E encryption still works. What they can provide is IP addresses, recovery email, recovery phone, browser fingerprints and email metadata (timestamp, recipient, sender, subject, size).

If you are worried about this (you should), use a VPN (not proton VPN) or Tor, avoid disclosing sensitive information in the email subject.

Despite the FUD, people are still 99% safer and more private using ProtonMail relative to Gmail or similar.

You might just not be dumb enough to provide a recovery email...

How pgp is used to very software binaries: blindly trust and import the gpg public key that we show next to the same place you are downloading the binaries.

nostr + WoT fixes this.

Is there any bolt12 lnd bridge plugin? That would be a game changer and would be a big🖕to Lightning Labs

This one works reasonably well, it's fast and dark mode autodetection so that it does modify anything if the website is already dark.

I even use it on mobile.

Because lnurl is trash and a huge centralizing factor that pushes people to custodians. We shouldn't need DNS and webservers if we can communicate npub to npub using nostr relays.
