Forget about threat model. It’s becoming increasingly an irrelevant concept, as we reach total globalization and centralisation of all of these global companies.

It’s frustrating, but it could be addressed by the EU members just like how they always have blew up Google so many times on so many occasions by suing them millions of dollars.

Aren’t government in the business of also getting people’s data, and turning that into a self supporting way to create some sort of revenue out of it?

The concept of utilising technology to predict crimes / apprehend and investigate criminals is a great idea and I’m all for it. Alot of people cheered for that concept initially, believe it or not. “Predicting and stopping crime before it happens”. The idea was hailed by many who were victims and were living during times of fear.

But, lo… Put that tech in the wrong hands, and it becomes a tool for oppression.

Example is original post.

I just had an epiphany in these days…

To be honest we’re already slowly heading towards a generation where real information is required, even for conducting casual interactions in the media and on various websites.

Governmentalisation, a term I thought I’d never use, seems to be a factor which cannot be easily detached from one’s life.

Workplace, and almost all essential life practices which involves digitisation requires one to go the extra mile to use some sort of service that is supposed to be convenient, with no other alternatives or considerations for other alternatives.

Unfortunately, were already shifting the leverage towards empowering oppressive government further by giving them what they need and want, and preventing non-governmental entities of such privileges; and therefore, small businesses might as well create an alliance with the government if customers do not want to make business with them. Then it will be B2G (Business 2 government, or b2b to be honest), and they will not try to compete.

My workplace, full of “techies” nerds use things like WhatsApp, Microsoft, etc… and im forced to comply if I want to not seem like a troublemaker or that person who just complains about anything, or that person who is asking to be fired for some ‘trivial’ matters.

It is really unfortunate, and maybe unfair, but I am rethinking about alot of things; and that’s a great thing. It is great to be able to get in peace with conflicting emotions sometimes. We can only encourage men, not force them.

That is not to say that I am not insulted and triggered by such individuals who lack such basic awareness about privacy, and dare call themselves tech nerds. But psychological health is also important for me…*

My own server only has 13 tb max XD

Yes, but you have to remember also that only the @tutanota.com domain was affected. Other domains of tuta were not affected.

So… I don’t know how much influence is ruining one domain of tuta is going to affect the reduction of capitalism and its orders.

I felt so bad when my managers did not receive my mails, because of an issue on outlooks part, and now I’m thinking of buying the paid versions of tuta in case that again happens in the future.

I’m determined to use mail services that are not Microsoft for the aforementioned reasons that you had highlighted - but why should I be the one running my wheels and chasing after ms, in shame and misery, just to let them know their f#### mail server blocked my messages from reaching my managers directly.

And that actually caused me trouble just recently with my managers due to miscommunication. About 2 weeks ago. (They did find it in spam/ junk folder, but alas… It was sort of over the water at that point).

F***ng hell. And here I was wondering why my mail never reached my bosses.

…#… Microsoft

Such is life.
