"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I hear good things about their service but Australia is a no-go for me personally in terms of data privacy. Looking at EU/Swiss/Norway to start with, we'll see how it goes.
Mailbox.org!
That one is on the short list!
I am using posteo.de for mail/calendar/contacts. No e2e encryption though. German provider, strong EU privacy rules and they focus on privacy (you can pay by mailing them cash if you want to). 1€/month
For storage I have a lifetime pcloud.com account (EU servers). Private data I encrypt with cryptomator.org.
Disclaimer: I have not checked if any of them have gone crazy recently.
Yeah, I really love the look of Posteo, but I use personal domains for mail. Pretty sure they still don't support those. If they did I probably already would have signed up with them.
Ha! Pretty sure the drama would have made it to us if so.
Yep, I looked into Posteo two days ago and it looks like they still don't support personal domains. :(
Understandable.. My problem is money.... Fast mail is so far the only one that I found in the budget, as every option is gonna be more overall than I was paying with proton unlimited... Plus my threat model doesn't really need e2e email.. I mainly switched to proton for price and email aliasing to not get spam messages to hell from one of my accounts leaking my email in a breach. Currently looking at fastmail + windscribe + bitwarden for $140 a year where I was 190/2yrs but worth it to say fu to Mr yen
Yeah, I'm looking at price increases everywhere so far since I have rock-bottom data capacity needs but use a few personal domains with a lot of aliases. I guess that's the price of freedom.
Look into runbox
Also on the short list!
