    I use Tuta, also known as Tutanota. They guarantee privacy by not treating users as the product and provides end-to-end encryption for both emails and calendars. Additionally, they introduced quantum encryption, addressing potential threats from new AI technologies that malicious entities might use to decrypt passwords. They offer a free account to try their service but I pay around $5 per month. I also like that they listen to their customers. They are open source and you can view upcoming sprints and I’ve been able to add new functionality by posting the suggestion to their subreddit.

    Agreed, I don’t understand how you can sue Apple without also filing suit against Google

    Im part of the EPMO of a healthcare system. We just got licenses and an intro to co-pilot for teams, word, excel , PowerPoint.

    I swear this AI will tell you all the questions asked during a meeting. If you join a meeting late you can ask it to recap the meeting thus far. Did you get a sales presentation from a vendor you need to recap and present to stakeholders. Ask co pilot to create a pdf from the documentation the vendor provided.

    AI is making my job so much easier but at the same time I kinda feel like I’m training my replacement.

    Are you using AI at your job, how are you using it and how do you feel about it use in the workplace and if it will one day replace you?

    The only downside I’ve seen is they need to verify you every year. I’ve been with them for over 3 years and this go around they needed a utility bill and a copy of my id. They put my account on pause for about 3 weeks while they verified everything and kinda created a bit of havoc in my life as everything was being declined (due to their hold) and I didn’t want to give my actual card number to anyone. Once resolved life went back to normal and I can sing their praises but damn! My bank doesn’t need to verify my identity and residential address every year.

    All in all I love Privacy.com

    For some reason I think this is more than just buying an entity out. I think it may have to do more with shuffling and balancing the debt so they are solvent as one vs having more risk being separate

    My friends and I have separate group chats for those who have a green bubble. It really hinders our ability to share pics, vids, memes etc etc and makes the messenging experience worst

    I used to the feel the same way until my best friend became a bar tender followed quickly by bar manager. Over the course of 8 years he managed several different bars where I had the privy to partake in topself of a variety of spirits. My palate is much more developed. I would say, I avoid drinking anything in the well unless I know its name. Anything with a skull or name I can’t pronounce is a no no. And the bartender can drink it cause they drink nasty shit all the time to get Thur their shift. The well is normally the cheapest alcohol they have in their establishment.

    I never understood ones fascination with dipping pizza or fries in ranch. I remember being in high school when everyone started doing this type of dip, it kinda grossed me out. Now I’m older, I didn’t start liking it until I made homemade ranch dressing. OMG talk about stepping it up a notch. Homemade ranch has a flavor that burst through your mouth making u want more and more.
