    So if I’m reading this right, Proton is re-interviewing their entire staff, focusing on how they’ve integrated AI into their workflow, and if they aren’t using AI as much as management wants they’re likely to lose their jobs?

    That is extremely disappointing.

    Posteo is suddenly looking very shiny.

        Tuta cancelled my free account because their automated system detected fraud. This occurred after 24 hours of updating my contacts within Tuta and signing up for some services. I appealed and they only apologized for the inconvenience but kept the account closed.

        Other people have posted similar stories but after a YEAR of use their email randomly because inaccessible. So Tuta isn’t a viable alternative for me as a Proton user.

          Damn, second negative response. I guess I am leaving them but I just do t want proton - they give me the ick of wannabe big tech.

          I just want a drive, calendar and email that is private.

            Posteo seems like the only good option there… Sadly they don’t allow custom domains because of some hand-wavy “privacy” crap that boils down mostly to vendor lock-in like tuta.

            There is a new belgian co-op company Nubo trying to break into the market, but they are tiny and running a nextcloud instance on-prem for storage. Performance is likely to not be great.

            I’ve been using Startmail for a while now. I’m not sure if it has a drive function because I never looked for that, but it does let you create an unlimited number of semipermanent and temporary ‘alias’ email addresses, and you can use a custom domain, if you set one up

        Apparently Tuta sucks, which really sucks as I was halfway through migrating my email to them. Now I have to start over with Posteo and wait for them to do something stupid

          TIL about tuta, aside from my shitty experience with their mobile app now.

      Give it 5 years and that shiny will ware off. That’s the damn problem. Nothing last forever and everything goes to shit eventually.

      At some point you just gotta settle for the devil you know.

      If you still have the energy to most posteo is fantastic from what I have heard tho.

      I’m just tired man, I just want to stop having to think about politics in my fucking email.

            If all you need is solid email hosting, I can vouch for Migadu. I’ve been using them for years with my own domains. Been perfectly reliable at reasonable costs.

              +1 They’re great and their customer support is the best I’ve ever used, since it just connects you to their engineers.
