I wish email providers (not thinking about you in particular Protonmail, but I AM thinking about you) offered some type of pie chart that showed the storage used by the major senders. I know I can group according to size, but I want to see who fills up my storage the most by quanity #protonmail

Somewhat concerning for anyone who uses Proton Mail: there is a flaw in the OpenPGP javascript library that they use (and are the maintainers for) which means that it's possible for spoofed authentication signatures to be created.

Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension of VS Code from forks like VSCodium and Cursor:
theregister.com/2025/04/24/mic
(Wonder how long it will take for them to deny access to the whole extension store at this point... I already considered looking for alternatives to VSCodium, but all alternatives either don't have split view or website preview feature (even with extensions), so it's not that easy for me to switch. But maybe I'll do a research again and see e.g. if Pulsar already has some Live Server replacement, or maybe a custom localhost solution independent from any code editor, will see.)

Indian court orders a ban on Proton Mail, because of some bad actors sharing deepfakes via the service:
news.itsfoss.com/india-proton-
(What a BS excuse to ban a service. Why don't just ban the whole Internet at this point because of some scumbags doing malicious stuff? But of course this was just an excuse to get rid of an encrypted service, this isn't the first time the Indian government does this, they already banned Proton VPN earlier.)

India’s court just ordered a nationwide block of Proton Mail—because it wouldn’t hand over user data.
Encrypted email isn’t the problem. Censorship is.
This is a massive overreach against privacy and digital rights.
