Please help with testing a new
#Thunderbird #Security feature: Unobtrusive Signatures, a novel mechanism for digitally signing email, currently implemented for #OpenPGP.

It avoids the unexpected signature attachments that are shown by non-supporting email clients for emails that used the traditional signing format, and that were frequently confusing recipients. With this new mechanism, it should be fine to sign all emails.

More details here:

“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.
