@gnuhealth Hallo, I looked you up on KDE and you're not there anymore. Where did you move development to? I wanted to make a donation but I like to know who is involved with projects before giving money. Many thanks. #GNUHealth
#DuckDuckGo #browser allows Microsoft trackers on 3rd party web sites, they are saying this is only in their browser and doesn't affect their search engine. 👎 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/duckduckgo-browser-allows-microsoft-trackers-due-to-search-agreement/
DuckDuckGo browser allows Microsoft trackers due to search agreement

The privacy-focused DuckDuckGo browser purposely allows Microsoft trackers on third-party sites due to an agreement in their syndicated search content contract between the two companies.

#ProtonMail is allowing #CTemplar email 2 be used for the verification code when creating a new account. 😃
Some #email services are not allowing CTemplar email addresses to be used for a verification code to be sent to. 👎

#Tutanota @Tutanota posted "If you are impacted by the CTemplar shutdown, we are happy to help with a new home for your email." 👍

They forgot to say they don't require an email address for verification when signing up for a new account. 😃

Some #email services are not allowing #CTemplar email addresses to be used for a verification code to be sent to. 👎

#ProtonMail #ProtonVPN #ProtonCalendar have all stopped using #Mastodon and their accounts are inactive. 😞 They are supporting Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Reddit. 😠 They have time to manage 4 different social media platforms but not a 5th that's an open source project? 😕
#Mailfence asked #CTemplar users to give them a try. Mailfence sent activation code to CTemplar #email but didn't allow the code 2 be used 2 complete the activation, a message said "Sorry, the registration failed. Please contact support.". Support said CTemplar email can't be used since they are shutting down. Mailfence shouldn't have sent activation code to CTemplar emails, this would've saved us 2 days. They should've had message saying to use another email service for the activation. 😠
#CTemplar email service will be shutting down on May 26, 2022 and all data will be permanently erased after this date. 😞 Users can export contacts, emails and attachments until this date. https://ctemplar.com/ctemplar-is-shutting-down/
