Tuta cancelled my free account because their automated system detected fraud. This occurred after 24 hours of updating my contacts within Tuta and signing up for some services. I appealed and they only apologized for the inconvenience but kept the account closed.

Other people have posted similar stories but after a YEAR of use their email randomly because inaccessible. So Tuta isn’t a viable alternative for me as a Proton user.

I don’t know how anyone can say this with a straight face.

I have been using folding phones exclusively for years and they are excellent.

It isn’t for everyone, but they are really good for many people.

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency worth watching

I think you mean Tim Apple

I had this mindset until signing up with a bank that only uses its app for 2FA of any kind. No SMS option. No TOTP code option. So anytime you log in using a a mobile or desktop browser it would require opening the mobile app (running google play services OR having an iPhone).

The only option I found to keep using this bank was to disable 2FA entirely.

Which is dumb.

But it was related to using a bank in a new country on GrapheneOS and Aurora Store version not fully working without Play Services and it turns out all banks suck here and not worth changing banks and there’s not much money in this account anyway so just…sigh.
