Many businesses also shut down not even making it into their first year of operation. We're going slow but steady, improving quality and relying on word of mouth instead of big advertisement campaigns. There are valid criticisms, but we also need to remember we're in this for the long run.

Wait until someone screams 'AI will help'.

There was a civilian airplane that mistakenly drifted into Soviet airspace and was shot down back in the 1983, killing everyone on board. Pilots can train for scenarios requiring manual operation, but that doesn't mean they should only rely on human perception, especially when it involves other people's lives.

I'm aware cock.li is for the meme edgelords, but what about purelymail?

Just my two cents here to mention that it's necessary to see this as a journey and a mindset, not a single-step or one-size-fits-all panacea.

If she's annoyed of advertisements creeping up, introduce her to adblockers and slowly make her get used to it. If she has shared concerns after seeing her friends or colleagues receive abusive comments on their social media accounts, comment on the dangers of oversharing one's private life and its potential consequences and tangible threats, like medical insurance companies abusing the info, and so on.

It's all federated, so it would be strange the bots didn't scrape anything off.

They're all trying to reinvent email by bolting something else on top likely an in-house implementation of whatever's hot at the moment. However, the supposed benefits are completely gone once you're exchanging mails with any other email host.

I should have studied astrology instead of astronomy.

There could be a software implementation that works perfectly fine on desktop PCs, especially Linux, but problem is hardware. I don't see commercial smartphone manufactures giving access to 'unauthorized uses' like foss projects usually go around.

Is it a paid feature?

Shouldn't this become illegal?

Getting in trouble? It's more like:

  • Server providers threatening to terminate business with Mullvad because some of its users used port forwarding to host contents that meant legal trouble.
  • Mullvad chose to terminate support for port forwarding in a transparent way and gave clear dates to prepare. This was done instead of selling off their users or collaborating with whatever legal threats they were facing.

I don't like it, but at least I understand their business decision. Even if I took my business elsewhere, they have a solid point on transparency.
