    You might be right I searched it up and found that protonmail doesn’t encrypt header lines which isn’t great. The f-droid point is also valid. But unfortunately there is no decentralised email providers, even tuta is still centralised. I would be interested if there are any options for decentralised mail.

    On another note regardless of whether I’m using proton or tuta it’s hardly ever end to end encrypted since everyone I’m sending the mail to uses Gmail.

    I guess I’m in the privacy enthusiast section. Although I do use searxng. And I will admit I do use some things from the top layer, like YouTube and steam. Also i don’t like how proton is a section above tuta aside from quantum safe encryption which is meaningless at the current state of technology (I agree that could change soon) aside from that proton mail is just as good as tuta.

    I use everything from the privacy enthusiast section on a daily basis except for addy.io and tuta since i use proton for email and email aliasing.


  • I’m totally on engineeringgamings side. Both apple and Google are both bad companies imo but the Android operating system is probably the best thing Google has made and you have the ability to use it without any of the Google services.

    I take advantage of side loading on a daily basis with repository’s like f droid and accresent as well as obtanium for installing apps from the source. And for the few apps I need i can use the aurora store all with never signing in with a google account.

    For me the main feature of Android is side loading and I can take full advantage of that with no google account. In my opinion the idea of an ecosystem is a negative, i want the ability to not be locked in to any specific hardware or software vendor.
