Tuta has its own massive problems. I forgot what they were specifically, but some people going around making comments have some lists.
Tuta calendar is hot garbage and gives me anxiety. It’s so so buggy- like not well designed and nobody tested unhappy path. Email is mostly good but search is meh. Been using for a while now on a paid account. Feels like the Apple of privacy email. Their drive offering will probably never leave closed beta. But I’m hopeful. I’ll probably stick with it because I’m pulling for them.
Thanks for this review. While I'm hating on this Proton CEO, i need the alternative to kinda work at least.
Nah, I meant like, AI usage and security related BS, though good to know the services are also shit.
They do use AI internally to write code. If they have more bad stuff I would like to know.
