Oh I know. It is your call. I’ve not seen much evidence of tutanova/proton Lemmy adverts. This service is quite new in comparison and there is clearly some astroturfing on lemmy. We don’t know how good or bad they are tbh. The fact they are pushing it rather than relying on word of mouth is a little sketchy.
Whether it is deleted or not, I’ll at least call out advertising so people are aware rather than being led to believe it is recommended.
We don’t know what it is, but there is history on Lemmy of them listing out every feature, asking I’d anyone used it as they didn’t. Why woupd anyone do that? More blatant in the past, but worth being on guard against them.
Plus advertising e2e encrypted emaill which is impossible unless recipient is same service.
Probably an ad, but much more subtle if so. The old ones were so blatant. :)
What makes you do it with a smile? What does it give you that proton or tutanota doesn’t?
You know it’s a 3 character documentation change.
Why are you here exactly?
Is google needed? Could a mail alternative like proton mail be better?
Unless Quake was made with Copilot, that seems very unlikely:
Those that truly dislike MS and telemetry won’t.
If I’m using non-free it is Jet Brains.
I tend to use Kate, KDevelop.
MS still slurping code into Copilot from Github and telemetry in VSCode.
By browsers do you mean search engines in the browsers? I use DDG for search. Firefox is king, browsers wise.
It is closed but not necessarily bad. It was rated highly on the Mozilla Privacy Not Included.
Well, I don’t really want to install Facebook spyware on my phone. Signal was made by the guy that designed the encryption used on top apps (if they haven’t circumvented that to spy on you yet).
If one of their relatives had cancer, it would be belittling that experience. I would not do that unless I wanted to be a dick.
Try to give a name and model. An interesting privacy suggestion on a non privacy respecting website means folk are forced to click it.
But the companies chosen for login is a slap in the face of anyone who cares about privacy.
If it is e2e encrypted, why would this change mitigate what they are concerned about?
That is a massive disappointment. Hopefully Element gets their video calls sorted. Why can I not just have privacy tools that I can use? Why are the good ones taken away?
Sanity is restored.
Love KDE, and good to see them chipping away at these pain points.
Ah, so IBM are in control of Red Hat.
I think it seems the timescale to pretend you aren’t going to change anything is 2-5 years.
Don’t expect anything from these big corps, just fork (if you really must), and move on.
“we do not process email content to serve ads” looks very specific. We don’t process emails to serve you ads. It doesn’t say they don’t process ads to understand better what is relevent to you. It is also a very specific word, serve. Serving means displaying, but it doesn’t necessarily mean profiling or targetting.
Ads are shown based on: “ads that were selected to be the most useful and relevant for you”. So, they’re saying they don’t directly do that, but it doesn’t cover indirect processing that would feed into this.
These people are very clever, and hire very clever lawyers that could easily demonstrate this in a court, so they could use that information and still meet the requirements of the policy.
Considering the astounding level of information gained from Android that feeds into their tech, it would be quite naive to believe they’ve ring fenced email as something they don’t touch. Google still serve very relevant content to people that don’t use search and don’t stay logged into email. I cannot imagine it’s a fluke. Email is a very expensive game to be in when you’re insinuating that all they want is to be an identity provider to assist in tracking web interactions.
Proton mail have a cloud storage facility. It is limited amount without a paid subscription though.
There is some things I would have liked to keep up on, but Lemmy has a lot of the stuff I am interested in, and Discord covers some other bits. I use social media less which is good. I am more productive and sleep quicker.
The FOMO is the brain craving dopamine. The solution is getting used to less, not chasing more.
Make the internet work for you, not the internet working you.
