  • I respect your choice and right, Tuta is not compatible with PGP, but that doesn’t mean I (a Tuta user) can’t send an encrypted message to someone on another service or receive one. In that scenario, there’s just a bit of server code that users interact with in between to enable my encrypted message to be read by others outside of Tuta.

    If the email’s recipient is on Tuta, they just read my message in any of the available client apps.

    I agree just supporting PGP as an option in Tuta would be better, but I think someone considering their options should know about the above. The current Tuta process works for me.

The unreleased feature, internally dubbed “NameTag,” would “transform faces captured by Meta’s glasses into unique biometric signatures, commonly known as faceprints, and check each one against faceprints stored on the user’s phone — a database that’s currently configured to receive updates from Meta,” as Wired put it.
