Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Glad I stuck with mailbox.org.
I'm not familiar with them. What makes them more privacy focused?
It's encrypted and based out of Germany (so, outside of five eyes). The ui is shit but if you use an app for email it's great. They also offer anonymous payment methods if you're into that.
they’re not end-to-end encrypted; their security model involves giving their server both your GPG private key and its passphrase, which makes your inbox and other data trivially able to be subpoenaed by German authorities.
I don’t think this is a replacement for Proton or Tutanota at all.
Germany is a member of the Fourteen Eyes alliance and shares data with 9 and 5 eyes members.
I just wanted to put that out there after @czech@lemm.ee suggested that the five eyes are the only eyes. They share with Germany and vice versa.
