@machinesbleedtoo But it's quite common.

I know some folks buy themselves a cheap tablet for that reason...

• Others do the #OfflinePGP method with a neutered device.

@ticho @delta @torproject isn't that related to that "#blockchain-based" #AntisocialNetwork?

• Having real #E2EE & decoupling the #message from #transport mechanism is key when communicating behind enemy lines and facing massive #SIGINT deployments against oneself.

Stuff like The "#OfflinePGP method" are really important skill for everyone!

@patrickcmiller which is yet another reason why I explicitly recommend to not trust #Browsers & #WebApps but use either proper clients (i.e. @monocles / #monoclesMail & @thunderbird ) or do the #airgapped #OfflinePGP method!

@JessTheUnstill @Pibble

And yes, I treat all devices as insecure and would rather invest the time and effort needed get #TechIlliterates up to speed on the #OfflinePGP method!

• Sounds cumbersome, but when your threat model literally goes against the #1 #Hacking #Regime (#USA) with more #Exploits stockpiled than any hacking forum (cuz #NOBUS doctrine), you gotta have to upgrade.

Given the cheapness of storage (legitimate 1TB microSD cards exist and they ain't 4-digit items!) I'd legitimately look into #OTP #encryption and (IF I had the €€€€€€ to do so!) would even sponsor implementing it in #OpenVPN, #WireGuard and #OpenSSH (for #SSH-Tunmeling).

• The #US is a #RogueNation with a Rogue Government! The sooner we accept this reality the sooner we can not only adjust to it but act accordingly…

I sincerely wish y'all could legitimately call me a tinfoilhat but so far I've been proven right all the time...

@Chiquidrakula @COSAntiFascists @iris @Em0nM4stodon @cryptoparty @cryptoparty

Now if you don't trust @monocles nor @protonprivacy (which IMHO is fair and correct!) and you can't use @thunderbird or something because you have no private computer with internet access [i.e. only a work-issued laptop you can't use for anything non-work - related] and you can't just boot into @tails_live / @tails / #Tails or a portable #Linux #Desktop distro at all then the real "#GalaxyBrainChair" - level "#BigThink" you can do is go the "#OfflinePGP" route and thus encrypt & decrypt your messages on a different device entirely.

• The main problem may be that you'd then have to get that to the machine from which you can send it, which as we all know from the #MattKC video means you gotta "keep it brief" [as in 2.944 bytes short] if you want to do the webcam & screen method of #airgapping...
  

I just didn't have time to get the "Airgapped Transfer Protocol" done, but setting the *"Barcode Scanner" App into bulk mode makes it less tedious to import stuff to an Android device...

• Again: The nice part with #OpenPGP & #PGP/MIME is that you don't have to trust anyone but yourself and maybe your communication partners' ability to make proper #Keys and get the #Pubkey to you...

@anelki the only ones that believe in "#SecureEmail" after #DNMX, #SkyECC, #EncroChat, #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield are #TechIlliterates!

Use #OfflinePGP-Method or @tails_live / @tails / #Tails or don't even bother!!!

@GrapheneOS @signalapp I didn't say all of them have it...

Re: #Signal I'd not consider it #disinfo as we've seen more elaborate Setups like #EncroChat & #ANØM fall.

• Given the fact that one cannot #SelfHost #Signal's backend, they shilled the #MobileCoin #scam and use #PII like #PhoneNumbers to enforce 'selective availability' as well being incorporated in the #USA all rubs be unpleasantly...

• "The" correct way to do things (sarcasm OFC!) is to do #OfflinePGP but we can all agree it's not practical...

I remember when #Signal did a good #E2EE Messenger (#TextSecure) and that had a reason to use #PhoneNumbers as it merely encrypted #SMS, but that OFC has other issues.

• In terms if "proper #E2EE" with #SelfCustody if #keys, @delta / #deltaChat does fit even the stingest criteria - including #encrypted #GroupChats!
