How is it that all these lists are always kinda bad? They always miss some obvious good alternatives or have ones that shouldn't be there. I've seen so many posted and not a single one has been without issues. And these are not subjective things I'm referencing, I'd have no issue with that, they just always seem to be made by someone who has very shallow and uninformed knowledge about the alternatives. My main issue here is Kagi missing from search, and Proton and Brave being part of any of the recommendations.
Tuta is a direct competitor to Proton. They would get more flak for excluding it then including it. Better to have it in and let people discuss Proton's issues in the comments.
Whats the issue with proton?
CEO had a weird remark about a usa republican politician, people didn't like to find out that some of their devs use AI coding assistants and then they attempted (and failed spectacularly) to remove its traces from their github repositories, and many don't like that they launched a free LLM service.
I don't know if I agree with the first one. I don't know what to make of it, there is contradictory information about it on the internet, but I certainly keep that in mind.
I don't care that much about the copilot configs in the repo, because I think it can be used kind of responsibility (relatively to the environment, not, though), but it's extremely suspicious how they handled it.
the third is something I don't agree with completely either. are we also hating duckduckgo for having duck.ai , or is it only proton? people say marketing it as encrypted is a scam. sure the queries cannot be end to end encrypted, but the storage of former chats can. did they market it as an E2EE service, without specifying which part is like that?
