“Wrong” is too harsh a word. I just dislike it. I also block accounts that send promoted tweets, so I’m probably hardly a prototypical user
Hadn’t thought of it like that before, but yes, “clumsy” is a good characterization of what it feels like to me

By all means, link to that content! And in any case, of course YMMV and I’m just a curmudgeon and possibly can be ignored safely ;)

Other people mentioning you is great, of course, maybe they’ll turn into followers. But people who follow you already don’t need much convincing anymore, do they? I prefer to stick to likes and occasional replies.

Like the old person I am, I still don’t like people retweeting praise about their own content. It not only feels like bragging, it’s also extremely boring

This is literally the opposite of the truth. Machine learning launders coarse categorizations into the appearance of more accurate judgements about people. It’s still just happens to be as coarse as the training data.
Machine learning is the most anti-woke technology there is, because it lets us treat people as individuals, rather than just members of coarse demographic categories. No wonder it's under attack.

Ich wollte gerade wieder einen wütenden Thread über die neusten Geistesblitze des @FAZ_Feuilleton zum #Urheberrecht schreiben, aber diese Kolumne von Michael Hanfeld ist einfach nur lustig. Fangen wir bei Absatz 1 an: (Thread)

We use a public CA. Not sure what you’re referring to regarding malware – the general problem that end-to-end-encrypted communication can’t be intercepted? I consider that a feature, not a bug

To reach the ~youth~ we're going to have to make infosec sea shanties, aren't we? Guess so!
Behold the tale of kid who reuses their passwords & ends up pwn'd, then learns how to stay safe. We're on a mission to encourage unique passwords stored in a password manager with MFA on.

I see. Good question. It only helps if you have the other party’s public key, e.g. because you’ve received a signed mail from them before or can get it from a trusted directory. Workable in company settings. But all mail clients handle this quite gracefully.
More importantly, why is no-one working on making it less of a hassle? I know it doesn’t encrypt metadata, but it’s still so much better than most messaging services, let alone unencrypted, web-based email from a security perspective.

We‘ve been using S/MIME-based end-to-end email encryption at work for a long time now. It’s a bit of a hassle whenever new employees start, and every two years after that, but it’s manageable. Apart from that, it just works. Why is it never even considered by so many people?
