Apropos of the news that Proton is doubling down on LLM slop, https://www.404media.co/proton-to-re-interview-staff-about-ai-to-see-who-gets-to-keep-their-job/ I will again beat the drum that the security benefits of encrypted email are massively overblown and may well give a false sense of, well, security. What gets you isn't the contents of your messages but your contact network, which is still vulnerable with encrypted email because email headers can't be encrypted off-network. And that's assuming you trust the provider not to fold like wet Kleenex the first time a government subpoena touches them. (Spoiler: Unless they're like Apple-big they either fold or they go under.)
