  • I think I’d need some more time to really answer, but on the outset, I find Mailbox.org’s interface more intuitive with more settings and generally feels cleaner and more streamlined. Creating aliases and domain aliases in mailbox seems more proton-like in its simplicity.

    Tuta I think is more private and secure, but bits of their interface and app need polish. One reason I think Tuta is more secure despite them both touting security and privacy is that Mailbox search works immediately, whereas Tuta requires you to agree to a permission and states it stores everything locally to you so it may take up space. I think Tuta isn’t doing any server-side indexing of any kind? Unsure.

    edit: Mailbox doesn’t have a native app, and Tuta has a native app but I think it’s largely a webview. Notifications work OK but you’ll click on a notification and then have to wait for the app to actually connect and resync before you can view it.






  • I don’t know if I buy voter apathy anymore. 1/3rd of the people I talk to voted 3rd party to “teach them a lesson” - fuckers taught nobody anything except the loss of democracy.

    Google searches for “did biden drop out” and the like skyrocketed on election day.

    It doesn’t seem like voter apathy, it seems like systemically curated stupidity and ignorance.

    I think a lot of people are clinging on to this hope that “this isn’t really America” and “this doesn’t represent America”. I’m slowly coming to terms with the idea that maybe this is America and it is what America represents, and it is an ugly truth to swallow.





  • I work for shitty companies and just take like 8x longer to do tasks. That’s the only way I kinda justify it.

    I’m pretty sure everyone I work with is doing it too, because our velocity has become normal/expected now.

    Also for the ones constantly monitoring your “available” status, proper mouse jigglers are great for when you want to take a looooong lunch or watch TV.

    I also got a cheap used phone for logging in to employer Teams or Slack so I can pretend to be at a computer even if I’m at the store grocery shopping or at the bar drinking.

    edit: Similar to another comment, I use the money for my community. Donating to food banks, buying clothing to donate, I recently donated a couple of computers to people who needed them, a few monitors, a cellphone, I helped my friend pay off their medical debt, etc.

    I couldn’t do that without the money these jobs pay. If I’m still meeting expectations but it isn’t detrimental to my mental health and I can take their money and do good, I call that a win.
