That might partly be because Vivaldi is openly against crypto"currency" while Tutanota is for. I've dropped Tutanota for that reason.
Here's one of the best takes on why Vivaldi is currently the number one browser and the 95% open source is a trivial “issue”:

Who do you trust with your browsing? I am in the minority position of never having trusted Google or Mozilla and that largely intuitive stance only grows increasingly correct as the corroborating evidence piles up. My daily driver is Vivaldi.Blåhaj Zone
This is pure cartel behavior: Reddit and Google have cut a deal that will freeze out all other search engines from indexing Reddit, where volunteers do essentially all the work.
This should not be legal.
It is VITAL to replace Reddit, and it will take a global village to do it. If we don't, the cartel wins.
And Google should be broken up by Congress, if the antitrust people won't try.

Today I worked out that the UK would nearly fit 1:1 scale on a sheet of A-39 paper.
That's using the A paper scale, where A0 is 1m^2 and each number down the scale doubles in area, keeping a 1:sqrt(2) aspect ratio.
That's A minus 39. I make a sheet of that 741.455km x 1048.576 km

No, Switzerland does not.
The law that they just passed requires software developed by or specifically for the government to be open but it contains a loophole allowing the use of proprietary software and it contains no incentive to avoid proprietary software.
When we adopted a similar policy at NASA in the 80s the loophole meant that there was no change in the amount of proprietary software we used. I expect the same in Switzerland.

Exposlanec a jedna z nejvýraznějších tváří Pirátů Mikuláš Ferjenčík možná v příštím roce za trest nebude kandidovat do Poslanecké sněmovny. Vyzvali ho k tomu jeho spolustraníci, kterým vadila jeho předvolební videa s Ježíšem.Kateřina Frouzová (Deník N)
Btw to, že byl Ferjenčík tak dole na kandidátce mělo své důvody. A nejen předchozí sněmovní volby.
I was checking out this year's #StackOverflow annual developer report that few things caught my eye:
1. They have deliberately drawn the wrong conclusion about most popular operating system. They have interpreted #Linux distro as operating system, so they have separately provided numbers for Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and etc., and have concluded that "Windows is the most popular operating system for developers, across both personal and professional use".

What's up with execs complaining that people are using their website at objectively low rates?
We previously discussed the CTO & CEO of Discourse ($21M raised) getting mad at 0.5 QPS, calling this "an attack", etc. : mastodon.social/@danluu/111064….
Now, the CEO of iFixit (supposedly ~$50M/yr revenue) calls 11 QPS, "abuse", saying "you're tying up our devops resources", implying it's reasonable for a $50M/yr regularly viral web property to need significant intervention if traffic increases by 11 QPS.
Attached: 4 images Since discourse employees are now dropping in to inform me that the Bing thing is fixed, with the implication that Bing was at fault because Bing fixed the issue. I know.Mastodon

Oh look at this
So automattic/Tumblr's CEO is making the company email servers to redirect all mail from teamblind.com to his own personal address instead of the actual person who registered to Blind, so he can know who signed up using their corporate email (the only way to sign up).
Not only that, but by doing this, he could just go through the company email address list, hit the "forgot your password" link, and find out who already has an account, and even steal it.
Very sane, not creepy, absolutely not sociopath move, sire. Absolutely normal and not crazy maniac behavior.
