    Because they’re trying to find those idiots that mess up the codebase by using ai, right?

    Right?

    First mullvad and now proton. Sheeeesh.

    So now this is an alternative email thread, right?

    Astermail? Fastmail?

    Are both also shoving ai down their employees throats and/or guving money to fascists?

    Is my only hope hosting and maintaining my own email service?

    “Sign up for free access to this post”.

    I’m aware that a link is attached which bypasses this restriction, but if I have to break the law to read the article or alternatively hand over my personal data, then I think it shouldn’t have been shared here in the first place.

    Archive.is and its variations sadly also exploited their users to DDoS another website and falsified data; they also refused to comply with data protection regulation in the past, and remove personal data from their websites. Wikipedia banned the service entirely and removed all references.

    So, who’s the alternative?

    From what I hear Tuta is only barely reputable? Something about false cryptography. Services like mailbox and posteo don’t have a free tier. The offerings overall seem to be so bad that gmail is beginning to look somewhat desirable by this point.

    Not that it impacts much in the short term. Until a long-term viable alternative shows up, the best I can do is to continue using Proton’s free tier so that I am at least somewhat a cents / nickels cost to them rather than a profit.
