@thunderbird For all the reasons: no.
@thunderbird I mean, Mozilla has been shoving AI stuff into Firefox as of late, so you don't exactly have a great track record on the "no AI, FFS" front either
@thunderbird Isn’t this from the same company that’s forcing AI slop into your browser - Mozilla?
@thunderbird Aren't most of the people leaving Proton rn doing it because they're pushing LLMs in development? Why would they go to a service using those same toys?
@thunderbird yeah okay, no.
Slop doesn't deserve support
@thunderbird i'm not paying for your fken tokens.
@thunderbird what's you llm code policy?
We hold ourselves to high standards on this. Any AI-assisted code is still human-vetted before it goes live, with a person accountable for everything that ships. Safety and usability come before velocity. You can read more here 👉 https://github.com/thunderbird/.github/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
@patrick_h_lauke Not sure of their policy (if any!) but the @thunderbird Pro platform is built with slop, according to their GitHub repos.

@downey @thunderbird so maybe sit this one out, TB ... "apropos of nothing, we're doing the same"
@patrick_h_lauke @downey @thunderbird our engineers are free to use the tools they want to accomplish the job - or not use them.
@thunderbird Early bird, aka the vultures are circling the prey…
@thunderbird I like (and use, and support with donations) Thunderbird e-mail client, but USA company managing my e-mails (even if servers are in Germany)? It doesn't seem OK at the moment, so - no, thanks.
@thunderbird '$6 per month, paid annually'? No, thanks.
@thunderbird Do you have more information somewhere on how the privacy-first/privacy-focused capabilities are achieved behind the scenes? For instance, does it use zero-knowledge encryption?
Great question! Our privacy policy covers exactly how we handle your data 👉 tb.pro/privacy Our support team is currently working on more detailed security and privacy articles at support.tb.pro, where you can also reach out for more information.
@thunderbird early bird plan and still more expensive than Proton?
@thunderbird no thanks i'm full
@thunderbird
fuck your slop
