What happened with Mullvad?

Posteo is a decent one that friends of mine use

Fastmail seems fairly sensible about AI:

Their email service itself is excellent, and I appreciate that they recently introduced the option to move your account's data storage out of the USA into the EU. But they're not an encrypted service like Proton or Tuta.

Is my only hope hosting and maintaining my own email service?

Oh boy do I know a "tool" that can help you with that. It'll guide you through the process of getting started. Or if you want, you can have it's agents do it for you. /s

First mullvad and now proton. Sheeeesh.

So now this is an alternative email thread, right?

Astermail? Fastmail?

Are both also shoving ai down their employees throats and/or guving money to fascists?

Is my only hope hosting and maintaining my own email service?

I had been planning to move to proton. Definitely won’t be now.

Fastmail? Mailbox.org?

Wouldn't it be funny if people stopped using major social media outlets en masse because of such laws. You would see an immediate reversal of this requirement world-wide lol.

Reverse engineering this kind of shit and using it against big tech is like the one use of AI that I fully support. Just not as a permanent solution.

Main issue is they might not user your local DNS at all, easier to just not let them connect at all.

Yeah, but that's less than 1% of the price I initially thought it was

I hope we manage to make complete sinkhole/host lists for spyware tv's (or other hardware) soon. That way a lot more people can tell em to piss off.

Username checks out

They all did a “rush to market” so that it was fast and cheap, but it wasn’t secure. Seriously, do people not know the triangle?

You can have two of fast, secure, or cheap.

Damaging capitalism with capitalism is strictly prohibited peasant cunt!

Scamsung at it again

That's still about $1,000 US.

Totally true. People vote based on the weirdest criteria.

“Oh, I’m not going to vote for her because she’s a woman…” Like, do these people even check what the candidate is aiming to accomplish?

The same but for voters too. If you don't even understand the cycle of water, you can't be trusted with weighing on decisions on environmentalism, let alone affordable urban design or how to feed people.

That would require the court system to be involved. Which is already the problem now. Anyone with money for lawyers can just DO things and the rest of can't resist without a huge hassle. Any old Joe on the street can hand out an ass beating. Immediate consequences for being an asshole.

Sounds pretty medieval, because it literally is, but have thought of addressing this issue with a pillory? Sounds like it should keep people in line.

Yeah, there’s the problem. It needs to be properly audited and independent. Sounds good on paper, but how do we actually implement it IRL.

I think we should just in general start beating people's asses when they step out of line. Some tech bro/politician/billionaire says some unhinged shit? Immediately punched in the mouth. I think it'd do a lot of good if people were afraid to be assholes again.

This is good. I'll be in charge of the independent evaluation panel.
