Na, immer noch nichts für die größeren Medien?

"Am Max-Planck-Gymnasium hat heute Vormittag (10.04) ein größerer Polizeieinsatz stattgefunden. Wie die Polizei #Duisburg mitteilt, ging eine Gewaltandrohung per #Mail ein – wieder mit teils rechtsradikalen und bedrohlichen Inhalten. Die Schule wurde daraufhin aus Sicherheitsgründen geräumt."

Radio DuisburgDuisburg-Meiderich: Max-Planck-Gymnasium wegen Gewaltdrohung geräumtIn Meiderich hat es am Vormittag ein Großeinsatz der Polizei gegeben – rund 900 Schüler und 70 Lehrkräfte wurden nach Hause geschickt. Laut Polizei Duisburg gab es wieder rechte Drohmails.

Kann mir jemand eine*n #Mail Provider*in empfehlen, die #nachhaltig, #datenschutz und #gemeinwohl orientiert sind?

Bei mir sind gerade in der Entscheidung um #googlemail endgültig zu löschen:
#posteo, #mailbox_org & #tutanota

Leichte Tendenz zu mailbox.org, weil mir #tuta für private Mails zu teuer, trotz konsequentem Datenschutz.

Kennt ihr noch andere sichere Anbieter*innen? Am liebsten mit Erfahrungsberichten. :)

Bonjour tout le monde!
Alors, je viens de tester proton mail, l'offre gratuite, pendant 2 jours et je suis déjà extrêmement déçu!
Que cela soit limité à 500 mio, passe encore, mais que pour avoir un accès POP3 ou IMAP, il faille payer, alors là, cela me dépasse.
Donc, est-ce que vous auriez un service qui fournisse une boite mail, accès IMAP et SMTP inclus, à me conseiller et qui soit gratuit...? Un C.H.A.T.O.N?
Merci d'avance à vous et le repouet rend la boite mail sans spam!
#protonmail #mail

So to test this out, i put my phone in low power mode. Since i don’t do that often, i got this warning. It says “mail fetch…is disabled” which i expect for BACKGROUND fetching. But if I’m in the mail app asking it to check my mail right now, I don’t see why it should refuse. It will play audio books, videos, and many things that take more power than IMAP when it is in low power mode. That’s so bizarre.

Replied to Chuck Darwin

In an interview with Slate,
Wendy Weiser,
a leading expert on democratic rights at the Brennan Center for Justice,
estimated that
❌up to 21.3 million people could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act,
which “would also
💥completely upend voter registration[,]
💥end mail registration[,]
💥end voter registration drives[,]
💥end online registration,
💥and make it much harder to do automatic voter registration,”
she warned.

The SAVE Act’s passage would enormously
🔥disenfranchise citizens without passports,
as well as
🔥“rural voters, voters with disabilities, older voters,”
and other vulnerable people who are
“going to face special burden,” Weiser said.

Similar problems would occur should #mail-in #voting be dismantled
-- the practice has been a particular target of Republicans.

Now -- making use of fringe legal interpretations
and building upon an unorthodox Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision,
-- the Trump administration hopes to ❌establish the precedent that ballots received after Election Day are invalid.

As Diaz commented,
“Egregiously, the executive order tries to
override state laws in 17 states.”

Local laws ensure that late-arriving ballots are counted,
as long as they’re postmarked before Election Day.

Diaz points out that barring this method is also going to ⚠️disenfranchise overseas service members
who very commonly vote by mail.

And internationally mailing proof of citizenship documents is not a safe or viable practice.

“All the policies that are in [the order],” Diaz said,
“are things that individual states have tried before
— and they’ve all been disastrous.”

For instance,
proof of citizenship requirements in Kansas and Arizona
necessitated a vast administrative burden to review documents.

Those laws also faced a bevy of challenges.

After years of litigation,
Kansas’s rule was struck down.

“They got sued, and they lost,” said Diaz.

But in the meantime, the rule “ended up preventing tens of thousands of eligible American citizens from registering to vote.”

Steal this postal idea

I was thinking about how much fun it was to get mail as a kid. These days, it is all bills and Kafkaesque forms from the government, which gave me an idea.

What if there was some sort of inexpensive subscription service where you got a nice or fun letter in the snail-mail post each month? Maybe customised for you in some way. Perhaps also some postcards from random parts of the world.

Perhaps when you sign up for a year of nice mail, you could opt in to a postcard exchange. Opted-in people would get their postal address added to a handful of nice letters with a prompt to maybe send them a postcard. Thus, subscribers would get nice things by post from the service and also from other people who like sending cool local postcards.

For added niceness, opt-ed in people could get a birthday mention. Or put on the postcard part of all the letters.

Something like that anyway. There would have to be an opt-in component because I’d not be happy sharing my address otherwise.
