Time to celebrate: Tutanota is now Tuta.
(tuta.com)
Can’t say I’m really fond of either name, to be honest.
Yeah, tuta isn't amazing, but definitely better than tutanota just for length and verbally giving someone else the address.
I really wanna support these folks but I'm also curious about the recent headlines with Cameron Ortis (Canada's own selfish version of Snowden who deserves a damn Peace Prize for reals) referencing these.
Also, I think people need to learn there is nothing "private" about email beyond not scanning which is like paying for a not-service (like don't fuck me over). Hell, its hard enough to work up the courage and stamina to vanishing-messages-set someone adversarial who desperately needs you to make and ebforce that decision upon them as a baseline for engaging with them at all.
I will pay $1/month for email company to not be an asshole but that's the extent of my patience with the notion and I have zero illusions about what is likely still happening on some level.
Edit: Snowden deserves reward, not Ortis.
Edit: whats the timeline/continuity in terms of Ortis' mention and Tutanota rebranding to Tuta
I wasn't familiar with the headlines you're referring to so took a look, here is one story from the CBC. And here is Tuta's post responding to the allegation.
Besides knowing the name I was not super familiar with Tuta, but it appears their source code is publicly available for review for any backdoor (and that Cameron Ortis doesn't seem trustworthy or even especially knowledgeable).
That's my instinct, but its good free publicity I think. The worst thing is not being talked about, maybe there's some truth to that
Wait. Who the fuck cares? What even is this?
Just because you don't care doesn't mean nobody does.
Something in the post should at least attempt to explain what Tuta is rather than just announcing a new name for something hardly anyone has ever heard of.
If you simply visited the homepage you could get a in-depth explanation of their product.
Nothing in the post gave any indication why I should.
Tuta and nota mean honey and pot in a certain language
which language?
A language between himself and the God Almighty.
I hope it’ll gain traction as I’m having trouble dictating my Live.com email.
Tuta means puppy in Filipino.
Tuta was the name of Borat's daughter who was lusted over by Rudi Four Seasons Landscaping.
It means honk in Swedish 😄
Yeah fuck these people you can't even open a free account anymore what a joke
