just a reminder, for absolutely no reason, that thunderbird is riddled with slop too and they’re also doing this crap: https://www.thunderbolt.io/ alongside all the rest of the LLM horseshit Mozilla’s doing. here’s their CEO doing a tuta live on mastodon, apparently unaware this was tuta’s exact excuse: https://mastodon.social/@ryanleesipes/117531330039185657
if you weird fuckers want to use our ethical stance (no AI shit at all) to market your crap, you can do it over me yelling at you for pushing AI crap https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird/117530981167604229
thunderbird’s paid service is a ridiculously bad value and it’s even more slopped than their free app
you have no reason at all to use it over proton or tuta, because it gives you nothing and costs you more. mozilla’s ethical stance on AI is horrid. mozilla’s management is horrid.
apparently they tagged proton specifically in their advertising on here because they were hoping to trick people leaving proton due to AI into thinking thunderbird and mozilla are anti-AI, an utterly laughable thing that (I am not making a legal accusation here) seems like it approaches false advertising.
given the horseshit we’ve seen from libreoffice and tuta this week or so, it’s a bit obvious what pattern mozilla’s using here because they’re late to the party as usual: they’re implying that thunderbird is a better choice, edging as close as possible (through sly phrasing and tagging proton) to implying it’s due to an AI stance without saying anything at all. they’re hoping we’ll think they’re anti-AI.
