Tutanota is still blocked in Russia to stop encrypted communication. We need to fight for privacy around the world. ✊ If you are affected, you can still access Tutanota with a vpn or the Tor browser.

Are you tired of being tracked? Check out an email service that comes with zero trackers and built-in encryption: https://tutanota.com/

While some conspiracy theorists argue not to use encryption as this would put you on the radar of three-letter agencies, we argue the opposite: Everyone should use encryption to protect others. #Fight4Privacy

Silicon Valley has a monopoly on the web. But everyone of us can make a difference by choosing privacy-friendly alternatives. Here are some ideas:
✅ Tutanota email & calendar
✅ Firefox browser
✅ DuckDuckGo search
✅ OpenStreetMap
✅ Mastodon
What are your favorites on the web?

We're celebrating six years of open source: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/tutanota-open-source 😀🥳 By publishing the client code as open source, others can verify that we protect your privacy with built-in encryption. We even use our own captcha & push to not depend on any Google service. 😀

This is simultaneously my first Pokemon comic... and my first C comic.

Big day. Big, big day.

With last week's updates, we've improved the speed of Tutanota a lot. We feel like it's at least twice as fast. Hope you feel it, too. 😃🥳

Single sign-on is not only convenient, it also comes with a lot of security risks: https://www.wired.com/story/single-sign-on-facebook-google-apple/
Instead, use a password manager like KeePass, and look out for Google alternatives whenever possible. Here are some recommendations: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/how-to-leave-google-gmail/ 😀💪

This feels satisfying after all the work. #Lenovo sells laptops with #Fedora on their website. \o/
And as a bonus Fedora contributors get a sizable discount!

#WhereIsMySurprisedFace @redhat@twitter.com leads by far in being an “excellent” or “above average” #opensource citizen. The real@kicker is that last year we weren’t even included in the survey. https://buff.ly/2FzHBZf

We are committed to open source and privacy. We've even built our own notification service to enable you to completely quit Google. 💪😎 Here's why this is important: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/open-source-email-fdroid/

Everytime you wish your favorite functional programming language with dependent types got more attention, just remember that a disease called NodeJS is currently causing a global technological pandemic and is destroying our technological civilization.

We're back online, sorry again.

The one about programmer brains...

We are under another DoS attack and working on mitigating this already. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Mozilla is laying off 250 employees (I believe that's about a quarter of their staff).

Their stated reason for laying off 250 employees is... to develop more Mozilla products. Typically you don't need to have less employees to build more products...

250 of us have been laid off from Mozilla this morning.

If you have openings or can offer assistance, please use the #MozillaLifeboat tag!

So many people saying they're switching from Firefox. Won't this only make the problem worse?

If you're switching to Brave or qutebrowser or UnGoogled Chromium or something, you're only strengthening Google's monopoly. If you're switching to a Webkit-based browser like Epiphany, you're shifting the monopoly towards Safari, whose parent company doesn't consider the Web a priority.

That Mozilla has bad management doesn't change the fact that Firefox is the most viable option for the open web.
