  • You were happily paying it before then? He’s done this so many times. I gave up about a year ago when he made markdown work in titles, which no one asked for, and then disappeared again. Everyone who started a title with a hashtag had a giant freaking heading font for a title.

    And spoiler markdown has never worked right. It always used the reddit style. It would even change proper Lemmy spoiler tags into reddit ones when you editted your comment, ruining the spoiler for tag for literally every non-Sync user. That made me so fucking mad!

    I took the time to try out every other app at the time and settled on Thunder. It’s just as good, it’s in active development, and it’s free and open source, so it can never be abandoned like Sync is. Anyone can fork it if they had to, and keep it going.

    It pisses me off so much that Lawson had the audacity to charge $20 for a broken port of Sync for Reddit and then disappear with severe open bugs for months at a time. I wish I could get my money back. What’s fucking scam. I can’t believe anyone still uses that app.


  • How about you address my actual reply instead of changing the topic constantly?

    The PGP public key still has to be shared plaintext… that makes it useless as anyone can sign it after that.

    That sentence is incorrect. Just admit it.

    an unsolicited message from someone you don’t know, asking you to email them could be suspect.

    How is that any different from a matrix chat or unsolicited signal chat or literally any other communications platform? You were saying that specifically PGP was somehow fundamentally bad when it’s actually better than most other communication platforms, because the private key is private, and messages are signed with that private key, and cannot be spoofed by a third party. You can’t know who you’re actually talking to (just like every other chat platform!) but you at least know every future message is from that same person.


  • Did you even read that article? It has nothing to do with what I said. I pointed out that you don’t understand how public key encryption works, and you replied with an article about an exploit that does not refute what I said. An exploit that does An exploit that can be avoided by simply not clicking “load images”. An exploit that has probably been fixed in a client like Thunderbird anytime over the past six years. An exploit that has nothing to do with revealing your private key.

    I don’t know why I’m wasting my time with you. You can’t even argue in good faith.
