  • Let me guess: You are an American with no clue about Geography / foreign politics?

    1. Belarus isn’t in the EU. Its position doesn’t matter, independent from which side they are on.

    2. Belarus is part of the big grey blob in the east of the map (alongside Ukraine and Russia). So the map doesn’t state anything about Belarus’ opinion on the topic.

    3. In case you thought the dark green blob in central Europe is Belarus: those are Germany and Poland.






  • Their own encryption technology is kind of useless because impractical. However I don’t want to judge whether it’s secure or not. You can only send encrypted messages to other tuta users. No pgp / smime support. If you want to send someone without tuta an encrypted message, they will send them an email with a link where they can enter a password you have agreed on. So if you want to communicate with officials, banks, companies etc. you will always disable it. Also those encrypted messages will never be deleted as one might be able to access it via the link later. This causes your ‘free’ storage to fill up with old garbo.

    The default app is only just like any other app. The fact that it is the default / preinstalled doesn’t mean it is minimal or necessary software. In fact any company can release their own slightly modified version of Android. That’s also the reason why a Samsung smartphone, a google pixel and some other random small company might all have Android xyz installed but you get a different set of preinstalled apps, different Launcher / home screen or standard settings.

    So what your default app does or can do depends what or whose app it actually is and random people from the internet cannot tell you more about it if you don’t give more context.











  • Well they can promise updates yes. But they are limited on the android version to the manufacturer of the chips. The company shift which has a similar concept as Fairphone currently suffers from that problem: they cannot upgrade their shift5me to a higher version than android 8 and a lot of apps recently dropped their support to older android versions (e.g. banking apps)
