The difference is Proton supports pgp, tuta doesn't. Proton also has it's IMAP Bridge, while tuta doesn't support it at all.

Proton is trying to be a walled garden, but tuta is on another level.

Singleplayer? Sometimes. If you have game mechanics that annoy me too much, I'll find a way to skip them.

I always find it crazy to see people paying per ride. Around here, the norm for everyone using public transport regularly are monthly tickets.

I don't want/need an app, and would say that there are more than enough mail clients on all platforms.

If you want one, though, I can see why this is a no-go.

No, I just let them run the mailserver, both the mail clients and all other Web applications we need are hosted by us.

Hosting your own mail server. But unless you're really certain you want to do that, and are very clear on what you need to do to keep your setup secure and your mails out of spam, don't. It's not impossible, but probably not worth the effort.

I am personally probably going to switch to mailbox.org when my Proton contract is up, already using it with an org I sysadmin for, and all in all pretty happy. Of course no guarantees that they don't enshitify, and they recently raised prices, but they're a lot less publicity/marketing focused compared to Proton. Less silicon valley energy, if you get me.

I am also setting up my own Mailserver with a throwaway domain to test the waters, but I'm not expecting to use that for anything serious in the near future.

Tuta, funnily enough, makes it very hard to send encrypted mail to people who aren't also using tuta. Maybe also look at Mailbox.org and Posteo. They have a lot less marketing/hype/fearmongering compared to tuta and Proton, but have similar features regarding encryption and security, with less walled-garden like restrictions.

Yes, but that would make this make even less sense. The US sometimes uses liberal as a stand in for left-leaning. The more common definition is against regulation, so sometimes socially liberal, but also, and more importantly market liberal (think Argentina's president for an extreme example). So this is very us liberal coded, just with goals far exceeding what most us "liberal" politicians currently try to achieve.

Too many services don't allow multiple passkeys per account. If they are supposed to be device level attestation, you need to be able to enroll one per device. I know that there are some frameworks to connect an enrolled device to attest, but that a) plain doesn't work well for some configs, and b) is annoying. I understand having a hardware security key for some stuff, but I feel like having that be a random ass phone for most people isn't really that desirable.

I feel like syncable passkeys are a band aid on top of most services having no idea how to implement passkeys well.

Some password managers, like bitwarden, allow you to save Passkeys in them, and use them on multiple devices. That's the only practicable way I've found of using them. I need to use most services on multiple devices.

Yeah. From what I heard around the c10y community, that is something people are aware of, and might be improved/expanded, but I agree that the current power level solution is not very flexible. It is, however, sufficient for my usecase.
