The contempt Proton is showing for their users is astounding. They not only think people will fall for this transparent act of damage control, but they also have the gall to shift blame onto the users.
Go read the comments. Obvious bots are posting praise and many critical comments are being deleted by the moderators.
If I had a VPN as good as Proton I’d switch to that and Tutamail in a heartbeat.
Seems like tuta is going the way of the slop code as well from what I’ve been seeing. Mailbox.org is topping my list for now. VPN hasn’t been decided yet. Everything else I’ll just self host on my vps behind wireguard.
Relevant Statement from Tuta on AI Code (and other stuff):

This is where I was getting some info from.

“Internal use is different because whoever is committing LLM-assisted code takes full responsibility for it and is therefore staking their reputation on that code being good. Git blame will also still show their name.”
So no external AI code but internal is fine apparently.
Well yes. Random people generating pull requests that they have no idea about IS different from a Tuta employee asking a Chatbot how to solve a specific problem.
