I'm with Proton for my private addresses right now, but while they do allow for pgp, they're guilty of many of the same practices as tuta is, and I might go elsewhere when my contract is up. The reason I'm still there is that they do implement pgp, so I haven't had strong enough incentive to switch.

I have good experiences with Mailbox.org. I heard good things about Posteo, runbox, and start mail, but haven't tried either of them personally.

I guess that might draw some. Though if their code needs to look human writen, that might help curb some of the worse tendencies of ai coders.

Oh, also, they don't really implement e2e email encryption, which is kinda ironic. Your emails are stored encrypted, and e2e encrypted when sent to other tuta users, but to everyone else, the only way to send an e2e encrypted message is a normal email with a password protected link.

Tuta argues that their system is more secure/private, since pgp doesn't encrypt metadata. I'd argue that not supporting pgp means you aren't serious about encryption. It might be in theory less private, but it's the one encryption standard people actually use for email, and not supporting it excludes their user from sending e2e encrypted mail in a sensible way, and from receiving it at all, unless all their contacts also use tuta. Which might be the point.

I dunno if it qualifies as shitty, but I've always been annoyed that they are in no way interoperable with email and calendar standards.

No, they've been bought out by a super shady company years ago. They're also chromium now. The original Opera team partially moved to create Vivaldi, also Chromium.

I think the point is more - if you are using LLMs to generate code, why would you try to dodge detection there when you could go to one of the many projects that has no rules against LLM generated contributions, or even encourages them.

I currently have it running in a Windows VM not connected to the Internet, so that should be fine. I also think that they are using it as a sales funnel towards their premium subscription, which of course might mean that more and more features get locked behind that.

Currently it's just the AI Features and Templates, which doesn't affect me as a user.

Are Snapchat groups still non-e2ee? Could probably get it from Snapchat during discovery, then, maybe?

Affinity is pretty good and free. Belongs to one of the pushers of shitty online templates these days, though.

I have extracted proprietary fonts from websites cause I thought they looked neat.

Now all my websites use OFL fonts and distribute the license file right next to the woff2 files.

That's an ugly-ass mansion.

Look at the way Tesla collects and treats customer data, and the way Musk seems to unilaterally abuse his control over the companies he owns for personal reasons.

Now think about the capabilities of the Intel Management Engine that pretty much every Intel CPU requires.

Bad vibes, I say.

Tldr - it's a little always on processor, running a Minix OS, with direct access to all board devices including the Ethernet Controller.

AMD has something similar in form of their Platform Security Processor.
