I'm willing to drop my GMail account.
What I need is an imap access, no app lock-in, and a good privacy policy, preferably with server located in the EU.

I am evaluating @soverin and @eclipso so far, with the latter lokking a bit more feature full but suspiciously less pricy.

Do you have any experience with any of those services? Have you any suggestion about them or other services I may look into?

Thanks in advance!

Finally gave #MistralAI’s #LeChat a real test drive!

Heard about this #FrenchAI for ages, the only proper #EUbased alternative to the big US models. No shady data grabs, no mass surveillance, just a tool that actually respects #EUprivacy laws.

Tried it for #writing and quick #research. Not perfect, but it works very well, and knowing my data isn’t being mined? Huge plus.

Anyone else using it long-term? Does it keep its promises?

I've send a letter to the German Representative in the European Union regarding the chat control proposal with reasons why the chat control is a bad thing and that they should vote against it instead of abstaining

Main reasons:
- The chat control breaks encryption and without encryption devices are open to vulnerabilities. Beneath that, sensitive health, financial and other private data could be accessible to bad actors
- The chat control is prone to false positives which can lead to the identification of legal content as illegal which puts citizens in risk of becoming involved in investigations
