I am hoping for ProtonSearch one day.

I hope we get notes functionality too. I don’t understand why a password manager has notes / email alias stuff involved. I’d think email alias creation should be in ProtonMail and notes should be in Drive / Docs.

I’m talking about the user voice site in this post. That doesn’t use sign in with SimpleLogin or sign in with Proton (which also exists). You can sign into SimpleLogin with Proton.

Still in awe that I can’t find any “log in with Proton” option on Proton’s official feature request site.

Sure, but we’re talking about being able to select a Sender from the ProtonMail UI. It would be awesome if PM could do that, and it’s a highly requested feature. That would basically be the same as having it integrated so that the PM UI could allow you to choose a reverse SL alias when sending instead of navigating to SL, creating it manually, then copying and pasting into the To field.

Those are aliases, not addresses. I’m on a paid plan and also cannot edit the sender field to be these. That is only for different addresses.

You probably want SimpleLogin. I’d check that out.

Similar to OG Beauty and the Beast. Originally the Beast was kind from the start and it was all about appearance. Disney changed it so he was a fixer upper. Kinda misses the whole point.

decades too late

Actually almost 100 years now.

Awesome, very well explained! Thank you.

Well the key tip is that recovery emails are not encrypted.

If you send them the message in plain text they have no way of verifying you aren’t just making it up to get someone you don’t like banned. Keeping it encrypted means they know the sender wrote it.

If it’s with asymmetric encryption, wouldn’t it be possible for the report button to generate a key based on their private key which can only be used to decrypt the given message?

I believe Java is the best option for this type of application

Why?

Rust’s speed is a cherry on top. The main reason to use it is its language design / correctness guarantees.

I’ve been programming for several decades and understand nuance and subjectivity vs objectivity when it comes to this, and strongly believe Rust is just objectively much better than Java as a language.

One example is that Rust doesn’t have null while Java does. The creator of null gave an excellent talk called The Billion Dollar Mistake about why null was such a bad idea, and said languages shouldn’t not have used it. Instead, the alternative he gives is what Rust does.

Things like this are actually hugely important.

Also, Rust was “most loved” language in the StackOverflow developer survey for eight years in a row for a reason.

Other than Sublinks, I have never seen anyone post about how they really want to work with Java.

Doesn’t it just use Google / Bing under the hood? If those both suck then it wouldn’t improve much, right? Isn’t SearXNG more about privacy?

Cross platform? It’s a browser extension.

Java is horrible. And Lemmy is open source. We could just fork it and have the best of both worlds.

Rust is mainly designed to overcome common memory problems people have with low level C systems without the overhead of garbage collectors

So you didn’t read my comment then.

A concrete example of what my comment means is opening files. When you open a file handle, you can read from it, write to it, but then you should close it. After you close it you shouldn’t be ready to or write from it again. If you do, bad things can happen.

Rust is the only language where you cannot. It’s a compile time error. This has nothing to do with low level systems programming. Using file handles is very high level.

Same goes for thread safety. Web servers often can benefit from multithreading. Java does not enforce thread safety at compile time. If you send some data across threads and you don’t already understand what is thread safe and what isn’t, you’ll end up with data races, which is a form of memory safety violation. This is not possible in Rust, but it is in Java.

Rust also isn’t subject to “the billion dollar mistake” since it doesn’t have the concept of null references. It also doesn’t support exceptions, which are the exact same issue as null references. These are also general programming problems and not specific to low level systems.

Regarding frameworks, I’ve used Spring before and, although Rust doesn’t do some things Java frameworks do, IMO that’s a very good thing, and the web frameworks I’ve used in Rust have been a far better experience than what I saw from Spring.
