All kerfuffle about Germany aside, I’m at least interested to see where they go with this since I feel like Proton is kind of resting on its laurels as well as continuing to treat Linux users as second class citizens (I also had longstanding issues with Tuta, too long to go into here, but which would probably not effect most of its users).
Germany where support for Palestine and opposition to the genocide are considered antisemitism.
Womp womp. I support Palestine but how is this related?
Just look at feddit
In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called “Reason of State” introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as “Israel-related antisemitism”. Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done.
You´re technically a criminal in their eyes, and hence if they decide to boost their dictatorship into looking for the people don´t like, they will have legal basis to order for the server databases and fuck you up…
Betterbird is better anyways.
I think this is cool and will make it easier for the average person to move away from the big tech providers that do the most damage to privacy.
Maybe they can find a way to host from the Moon 🌕before the Chinese 🇨🇳 colonize it 😉.
Give it a name that tells you about the features, don’t call it pro. Yuck.
I read through the brief article but I didn’t see anything about email masks (or email aliases if you want to look at it that way). Firefox provides masks, they work well and are useful. I could see thunderbird adding that as part of the subscription service, since Mozilla is already doing it anyway.
That’s fine, I’ll just silently treat the Thundermail users in the same way I treat people who use AI to write mail replies.
That seems a bit extreme
I’m OK with that just as much as I’m OK with random internet strangers downvoting me without bothering to even question my reasoning. To add fuel to the fire I’m happy to report that I look down upon GAFAM-mail users in general as well! 😁
What’s your reason for treating Thunderbird users like that?
Thundermail, not Thunderbird.
What’s wrong with that?
