Tuta and nota mean honey and pot in a certain language
which language?
A language between himself and the God Almighty.
Wait. Who the fuck cares? What even is this?
Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean nobody does.
I really wanna support these folks but I’m also curious about the recent headlines with Cameron Ortis (Canada’s own selfish version of Snowden who deserves a damn Peace Prize for reals) referencing these.
Also, I think people need to learn there is nothing “private” about email beyond not scanning which is like paying for a not-service (like don’t fuck me over). Hell, its hard enough to work up the courage and stamina to vanishing-messages-set someone adversarial who desperately needs you to make and ebforce that decision upon them as a baseline for engaging with them at all.
I will pay $1/month for email company to not be an asshole but that’s the extent of my patience with the notion and I have zero illusions about what is likely still happening on some level.
Edit: Snowden deserves reward, not Ortis.
Edit: whats the timeline/continuity in terms of Ortis’ mention and
Tutanotarebranding toTutaProton is doing privacy the right way.
Can you share more about why you think Proton’s approach is better than Tuta?
From a casual read through they both appear to use end to end encryption when users are on the same service. (Proton emailing Proton or Tuta emailing Tuta) and both offer the option to password encrypt an email so you can message someone on other services as long as you can share that password with them IRL somehow.
The biggest difference would be the theoretical claim that proton can’t know anything about your emails because the mailbox itself is encrypted. The calendar too. This also means these accounts aren’t compatible with any IMAP/POP3/Activesync clients, and you need to install your own proton plugin to use it with them. On the desktop. On the phones they have their own apps, since you can’t use the phone email app nor the phone calendar. They are a bit lacking there too. Regarding the mailbox theoretical encryption claim, I’m sure it’s really encrypting everything. It’s just, email is inherently unencrypted (unless it’s proton to proton) as it travels along the servers, unless you go to several pains to encrypt it, and your destinatary too, to decrypt it on their end. So for most purposes, right now the main difference between these two doesn’t seem all that useful and it continues to be relatively simple to intercept/read your email along the way, since most likely it won’t be encrypted anyway.
Yeah fuck these people you can’t even open a free account anymore what a joke
At the bottom of the paid features, there’s still a free option. Don’t go spreading misinformation now…
Have you tried it? I did last week. Your account is automatically locked for 72 hours for “manual review”.
After that it still doesn’t work you need to send an approval request explaining why do you want the free email address.
I repeat, fuck these people.
Considering it has been my main email account for just under three years now, no, not one bit. (@tuta.io)
I have never once had an issue with them. I made a mistake and they helped me fix it within 48 hours. So there’s clearly something you’re omitting that is preventing you from keeping an account open with them.
Ah yes that’s the only possible reason right? Or maybe…idk might sound crazy but maybe They changed their policies for new accounts??
How about thinking before calling somebody a liar?
Didn’t call you a liar. I said don’t spread misinformation. There is still a free teir, whether you are able to use it or not is another story.
And yes, that actually does sound crazy. Especially like I said, I’ve been using them for several years and they’ve always have been responsive to me.
Plus your clear aggression is telling me that you’re clearly expecting me to rise to your anger, fuel it, and spin it back. Makes it harder to believe someone when they can’t have an informed discussion without blowing up and raging hard at them when I am not trying to get a rise out of you.
