I’m hoping email will be replaced by the protocol companies agree upon when the Digital Markets Act kicked in and forced interoperability between messaging clients. Once that happens, hopefully all we will need to share is $username@service and be able to communicate using a secure protocol.

When that will happens is another question though. I really thought implementation would’ve been done by now since Matrix already is the right protocol for interopability, but it looks like Facebook wants to or has already built a custom protocol with demands to track users 🙄 I hope the EU commission will have a word with them.

Tuta doesn’t support import mail for free users yet. They’re rolling it out for paying users first. There’s no timeline for free users.

I’m not saying “immediately”. He can take his time and make a decision or wait to see if they’ll pester him further or if it’ll even go to court.

For me, I’d just not bother with being in the unknown and just change the name to something unique, so that next time someone comes along, I can tell them fuck off because I did my research.

IANAL

While unfortunate, it seems like a legit case. Especially given how similar the apps are. One character off is quite confusing for a potential customer 🤷

I’d just rename the app and move on. Pick a different name that doesn’t come straight out of the English dictionary and is unique.

Freetube and mpv (uses yt-dlp in the background) work well for me 🤷
