@Tutanota @nextcloud @notesnook @CryptPad @MistralAI I feel liberated now that I've quit Google. It's wild how people just ignore the fact that half their search results are sponsored.

AI slop hurts your soul.

It makes you: distrustful, dismissive of creative works, uncreative, derivative, imaginatively stunted, unreflective, dependant, it robs you of the satisfaction and growth granted by the creative process and it poisons you with all the same cultural biases taken from the training data.

AI robs people of imagination and the drive to create and instead produces output that is pastiche on steroid, uninspired unchallenging slop, every little detail crafted without personality or opinion with nothing to say except "this might vaguely remind you of something good that already existed"

I am also particularly concerned about the rise of chatbots pretending to be humans for political purposes.

LLMs are a Cognitohazard

I've seen a bunch of generally reasonable people say some pretty weird things about LLMs and I want to talk about them.

@Tutanota I'm less convinced about the AI agent promotion, especially in the light of the unfolding Clawdbot debacle.

@Tutanota what is the reminders alternative
Show threadTheGoodWalkerFeb 5

@shadowwwind @Tutanota

Just noticed the @s. It looks like it's called NotesNook.

Show threadshadowwwindFeb 5
@IT_SME @Tutanota no that is the notes app with the black and white icon
Show threadTheGoodWalkerFeb 5

@shadowwwind

You're right.

I think the reminders app is "Tasks: To Do List & Reminders"

Show threadshadowwwindFeb 5
@IT_SME oh yea its this https://mytasksapp.com/ thank your for finding it
Privacy policy is way to vague about encryption ;D
I am happy with Lunatask https://lunatask.app/ which also encrypts all contents
Tasks: Todo list, Task List, Reminder

@shadowwwind

Screenshots look great. They boast about e2e encryption and privacy.

Was hoping to try before I buy and there is a free plan, but I can't figure out to select it. It feel intentionally unelectable.

@IT_SME @Tutanota @notesnook they are also one odd the recommended options by PrivacyGuides https://www.privacyguides.org/en/notebooks/
Notebooks - Privacy Guides

These encrypted note-taking apps let you keep track of your notes without giving them to a third party.

@Tutanota @nextcloud @notesnook @CryptPad @MistralAI Could you help to create sort of 2026 challenge to move gradually? It is hard to do this at obce but maybe with community shareing tipps... Why not?

@inconspicuous-lurker-99 @Tutanota @nextcloud It could pass as something made up using some GenAI. I read the case again, plenty of things are completely nonsensical (even the prosecutor said so). Tuta already debunked it in 2023 anyway.

FOSS lover 100%, this is constructive criticism from a guy forced into an evilcorp stack at work: FOSS has nothing that can compete with Google and MS yet. I've tried but they're fragmented, non-integrated.

I process hundreds of emails a day and can do a ton of efficient powerful things from a single interface to manage/edits files, meetings, contacts, tasks and more.

The FOSS alternatives: frankly primitive in comparison. Lets catch up!!

@TrimTab fragmented alternatives are the reason many people keep choosing centralized Big Tech platforms.

But we have an answer:

Show threadHyperAndRomeDa ✨Feb 5

@Tutanota OK, I understand that we need to switch from Big Tech (already done so), but please Can You start focusing more on improving the UI of the Tuta apps on Desktop & Mobile?

Some suggestions: Bring Material You support, more elegant/modern icons, more theming options etc.

Would be greatly appreciated and much more appealing to other people too.

Now we just need a EU smartphoneOS to get rid of big techs hold on the users.
SailfishOS ?

@Tutanota can you help me understand if @CryptPad is able to replace Office for personal apps? Like instead of Word.app locally? I’m trying to understand the use case vs LibreOffice?
Show threadCryptPadFeb 5

@bntn @Tutanota hello!

We don't aim to replace LibreOffice, at all! CryptPad is an online collaboration suite, its goal is to allow realtime edition of a wide range of documents. From Rich Text, to Kanban and even Form or Diagram, we got you covered.

Please check our project website for generic information: https://cryptpad.org

Our documentation, with more in-depth infos as well: https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/user_guide/index.html

@Tutanota This post is somewhat ironic considering that (last I heard) you are going to implement cloud storage in Tuta.

It's a welcome change, I think, but it works against the incentive to diversify.
