Wireless Earbuds

by hammerron

I see what looks like a bunch of people using wireless earbuds when doing a video chat. I am wondering if anyone would share their opinion about them, pros/cons, and if you recommend any certain ones (hoping not a budget strain). Ron

Email Encryption on an Android Phone

by hammerron

Just an update, if anyone's curious. The friend decided not to encrypt after all, but has started to use the K-9 email client for Android

Whoops.. moving meeting to next week.

by Tim Keller

After I announced the meeting for the week, my wife politely reminded me that I had a prior obligation. I'm moving the meeting to the 20th. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

"Fair Email" for android. https://email.faircode.eu/ From the website, these privacy-specific features are listed: > Privacy features > > Encryption/decryption supported (OpenPGP and S/MIME) > Reformat messages to prevent phishing > Confirm showing images to prevent tracking > Confirm opening links to prevent tracking and phishing > Attempt to recognize and disable tracking images > Warning if messages could not be authenticated I've used this program to watch four separate email inboxes, with OAuth2 and non-OAuth2, for the past several years. it has the same concept of "unified inbox" that exists in Thunderbird, should you want to use that. --MCV.

Is she interested in sending email that is encrypted so that only the recipient(s) can read the emails? Or is she interested in encrypting the emails on the phone so that no one else can read them on the phone? Very different use cases. In my experience, encrypted, much less signed emails, is still a pain to do. It's sorta interoperable, but PGP keys (and key management in particular) is just painful at times. No idea on at rest on Android.

WLUG Meeting next week! July 13th 2023.. Tentative topic is keyboards, RedHat.

by Tim Keller

While not entirely linux related, keyboard preference is something that we all have opinions on. I'll bring along a couple interesting keyboards that play nicely with linux. I know we'll definitely talk about the the RedHat decision as well. It'll be interesting to get Joshua's perspective on this as well. I'm still working out a location on the WPI campus, I'll let everybody know when I get more details. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Email Encryption on an Android Phone

by hammerron

I have a friend who is interested in encrypting her emails on an Android phone. She lacks computer experience. Anything that she would use would have to be very simple. A one time process will probably do her best, not steps that would have to be repeated at each use. Could anyone offer suggestions on the best solution for her? Would something like Proton Mail be sufficient? Ron
