Time to say goodbye to email

Migrate safe away from email

With the mobile phone now becoming the standard human interface for information and communication services it is time to stop using email. There is enough information on the web to find out why. Here is an example:
What are the alternatives?
For now, we see is only one alternative: https://www.signal.org/ in combination with document share services and document send services like Dropbox, iCloud, Google-drive and so on.

We will have the following text under our emails in the future.

Because email is an old and insecure first generation internet protocol we will in time stop to use email. If you want to contact us and are not known with us, you can use the web contact form. If you are known with us you can use our signal account to chat, or we share an exchange environment.

De EU en de crypto war! Overheid zie toch eens de kansen!!

  Naar aanleiding van het uitstekende artikel van Fred Hage in de Computable van  27 november 2020. Overheden worstelen met End-to-end encryptie en ‘lawful interception’. Met andere woorden privacy op internet aan de ene kant en de mogelijkheid criminaliteit te onderzoeken aan de andere kant. Het blijft me verbazen dat overheden blind zijn voor de kansen die dit dilemma biedt! Stel "ik kan bij de NL-overheid mijn encryptie regelen" (met de wetenschap dat ze mee kunnen kijken). Dan doe ik dat toch zolang ik niets te verbergen heb! Dus: Overheid wordt eens wakker en bied zelf encryptie services aan! Ga met de betrokken internet diensten zoals Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft .. etc. om de tafel zitten en ontwikkel encryptiediensten en standaards voor (vertrouwde) burgers waar ze gebruik van kunnen maken. De diensten kunnen dan vertrouwd verkeer van onvertrouwd verkeer onderscheiden. Ze kunnen vertrouwd verkeer direct, eventueel automatisch, onderzoeken. En me...

Microsoft; Google; IBM all the same.

  Today, Microsoft announced https://cloudpc.im/. After they announced Windows 11. After the Windows 11 announcement, it rapidly became clear nearly no existing Windows 10 will be able to be upgraded to Windows 11. No coincidence. They want to move all customers to monthly payments. Soon you only can run Word, Excel and PowerPoint in a browser. Just like with Google! So what is the difference? It is all the same! You lost control over your data and your wallet!  What will be the countermovement?

Annoying stupid smart functions in Google WorkSpace

Annoying stupid smart functions in Google Workspace. For the context. I had enough of Bill Gates, his marketing and pushy sales force a long time ago. And have abandoned Microsoft completely in 2014. I never ever will buy anything from them again. Certainly, not ChatGTP (Babylon 2.0 in the making). And when Zuckerberg showed up, I rapidly saw he was a second Bill Gates and I never installed any app of him, and never will. So from US big tech, I only use Apple and Google stuff. Google and Apple are king in “thinking for you” in the wrong way . Consequently, making your live less efficient rather than more efficient. This writing is about that, based on example cases. The first disaster I experienced in this regard has been the day that Apple decided to organize my photo's for me. With as a consequence, my organization of my history was completely messed up. After a year, I decided to take all my images away from the iCloud and put them on Dropbox. Now I organize my history myself. W...
