  • It’s like how most people call moving a file into the trash can “deleting.” It is deleted (in a sense), but you can still recover it if you want before the trash can gets emptied.

    Or like how even you can actually delet a file from the disk but still be able to recover it before the disk space is overwritten by other files. I’m not saying that this is what Google does when you recover a freshly deleted account (most likely not), but what I’m trying to say with these two examples is that being able to be recovered is not a contradiction with having been deleted

    Also I don’t get why you take problem with this. It’s not like it’s another loop to jump through to get to delete the account?



  • I’ve actually been using Proton (on the free plan) for a couple of years before going to Tuta on their paid plan. I can say that the UI of Proton feels much better.

    • The search in Tuta’s inbox often gives no result despite me searching exactly what’s in the subject line
    • The custom notification selector in Tuta Calendar sucks
    • Tuta Calendar feels sluggish
    • You can’t select whether to send a message as plain text or as HTML in the message composer?? Why do you have to go into the preference page to change this??
    • When you open a message in Tuta Mail, it often fails loading the message and I have to press Retry multiple times for it to load the message properly

    As far as I remember, none of these were problems back when I used Proton.












  • Haha not actually. In Chinese maybe when doctors talk with each other they sometimes will use the English term (by this I mean the Latin/Greek-origin one), but mostly they translate the word bits (morphemes) one by one to Chinese (低血鈉, where 低=low, 血=blood, 鈉=sodium). They never ever use the English term to patients. You won’t be able to find anyone in China or Taiwan who knows what “hyponatremia” means unless they’re in the medical industry or they’re just very good at English.
