@catonano porting #GNOME to #Windows would be a huge job, and only solves the problem for Windows. HTML/CSS is universally cross-platform -

@strypey #Windows users are typically unaware of how much of their painstakingly-acquired [free|nag|ad]ware has equivalent functionality integrated into #GNU/Linux default desktop installs. Once somebody told me they just needed to find a replacement for Nero CD burner and Winamp -

I need to reboot from #windows into #linux to shut my computer down in order for it to actually shut down because #microsoft doesn't even understand its own damn ACPI standard. -

@tuttle What I've not heard is whether #Windows clone #ReactOS is vulnerable to #wannacry. -

Apart from ideological arguments (with which I largely agree), are there any concrete reasons/arguments to use #VeraCrypt full disk encryption for #Windows, rather than the integrated #BitLocker?

Wow, this is a nasty #Windows bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1252&desc=5
MsMpEng is the Malware Protection service that is enabled by default on Windows 8, 8.1, 10, Windows Server 2012, and so on. Additionally, Microsoft Security Essentials, System Centre Endpoint Protection and various other Microsoft security products share the same core engine. MsMpEng runs as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM without sandboxing, and is remotely accessible without authentication

Two days. That's pretty fast turnaround for something as big as #Windows (and in multiple versions thereof, also). I'm sure #MSFT tested the patch, but I do wonder how thoroughly. -

#PGPDay #Windows
Instructions for Windows are identical to OS X. You download Thunderbird, install like normal. then go into the addons menu from the hamburger button, search for enigmail, and install it. It will say it "can't find GNUPG and do you want to install it. You say yes to do the installer. In the installer, it will give you four options to install, with gnupg pre-selected. Just continue, don't install the other ones.
After that, it's totally the same again.
As usual, if you have problems, I will help you when I can. Looks like a server problem just cam up so I'll be busy.
