Suggest MULTUPLE providers as I seek to decentralize the services I use ad much as possible
Why are you talking to us as if were LLMs?
REQUIREMENTS … OPTIONAL …
DO NOT SUGGEST TUTA OR PROTONMAIL
SUGGEST MULTIPLE BLAH BLAH BLAH
Blah blah blah I get this message all the time why not say this to other people why can’t people choose how they write their posts why why why why
No, minimal, or human-checked AI code
Your requirements are impossible. May as well throw in unlimited handjobs and world peace while you’re at it.
Did you even do any research? Did you accidentalky list all the optional stuff as “requirements”?
How can you ask if someone did any research when you’re asking other people to do yours for you?
I’m busy, alright? And bezides, you’re not forced to do it
what is bezides
Typo of “besides”
thank you
You don’t even know what you’re talking about. You want a provider (i.e., hosted) who gives it to you for free, uses “audited” code, but uses only FOSS (so audit it your damn self), which is lightweight on memory (why would you care if you’re not hosting it?).
In what magical fantasy land would someone just give this to you? Shit costs money to run and develop. Your entitlement is laughable. If you don’t like what’s out there, make it your damn self and host it and give it away for free to everybody and see how long you can/want to do that.
Dude, it does not HAVE to notbhave subscripti9ns, as long as it has a good free tier
i had to reread this comment a few times because I couldn’t believe you, the OP, were berating random internet people about not doing the work you couldn’t be bothered to do yourself lol
Oh, so no one can ask about things online for people to answer. Got it
Motherfucker you do the research, not us. You’re not “too busy” you’re replying all over this thread.
Bro don’t you notoce the time gap of these replies? I know it may seem small (just 30 minutes), but within the time I was doing o5her stuff like YouTube, app testing, digital art, occassional attempts at self-research, etc
Rolling your own can fulfill all your requirements. Just download some server software and put it somewhere you trust
DO NOT SUGGEST TUTA OT PROTON
Proton not open-source, Tuta is starting to get vibecoded without human checks
You’re funny
I like youI’m funny? No! How to cows call the moon? The “moooooooon”
🤣
Should post that to Dad Jokes
Also, you may want to check this list.:
Mailbox 😛
Not free-to-use
I hear Astermail is nice. Free? I’m not sure about this either.
Provider not open-source
You’re getting a lot of downvotes, but in a better world this stuff would all be standard… Unfortunately I have no suggestions though
Maybe they’re being downvoted because they’re formulating their question and list of demands as if it were a ransom note, or a chatbot prompt.
That’s not entirely untrue, fair 😅
I do wish conditions like these were more obtainable though… It all seems like stuff that people on the earlier internet would assume was the norm by now.
Ever heard about TANSTAAFL?
