  • Find out what your coworker’s nerdy interests are, then do some light research on it.

    Then the next time you see them, ask them a bunch of questions about the subject. Try to talk little. Just listen and ask more questions.

    People who are nerds about some topic love to talk about that subject. This is the easiest way to break the ice. Show them that you respect their knowledge on the subject, that you’ve learned a lot from them. Thank them. They’ll respect you more too.

    After a few weeks of doing this with others, you’ll have their respect and then you can begin to increase the amount that you talk.

    Examples: art, sports, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, movies, craft beer, wine, computers, astrology, astronomy, growing food, etc













  • The decryption needs to happen client side, so that doesn’t work with these browser based email providers, unless they add support for it.

    Also, proton has a public facing endpoint where you can enter the email address of any of their clients, and it will give you their public pgp key. Literally every proton account has one, even if the owner doesn’t know it. That allows me to send encrypted emails to every proton user encrypted, and it “just works”

    With other email providers, I first have to ask the user for them to send me their public key. And >90% of the time, they don’t know wtf I’m talking about.

    That’s why proton is the best (unfortunately). We need an alternative that “just works” like this.
