I wish more companies did this.

In their features section, they should list "no AI" and I'd list it as a plus when comparing to competitors before buying

    Hell yeah it is, and it's one of the easiest features to implement!

    I love that for LibreOffice, just keeping it real and human!

    Sad that this is no longer the default for all applications.

    I appreciate their thinking to the point that it means there is an office suite of software available that doesn't currently contain any "American Intelligence" features.

    LibreOffice said that there is currently “no integration” that meets all of its requirements, such as ensuring that the users’ data stays on their device and that there is no reliance on a single AI provider, among other considerations.

    As soon as there is a version of it that can be run entirely locally, they are not averse to adding it though. They're not on team never-AI.

    It’s one of the awesome features of my email service, https://port87.com/

    I’ve yet to prominently display it on the home page, but it’s on the home page of the help site.

    The top left menu doesn't open without JavaScript. You might want to fix that.

    The entire website doesn’t work without JavaScript. It is super duper duper reliant on JavaScript and I don’t plan on changing that. The reason is that JavaScript lets you prevent cross site request forgery. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to tell if you actually made a request to send an email, delete an email, create an alias, etc, or if that request came from some website tricking you into clicking some malicious link/button. (To be more accurate, it is possible, but would be much harder and require managing a lot more state objects in the DB.) Also, without JS, you couldn’t have push notifications, and you’d have to refresh the page to see new email.

    If you’re worried about trackers, there are none. The only things that are loaded from external domains are Google Fonts, Cloudflare Turnstile, and the Stripe payments script. The site would still work if you blocked all of those, except for the specific things they’re used for.

    That sucks. Squirrel Mail works fine for other providers.

    SquirrelMail is a completely different kind of product…

    Port87 is a hosted email service. SquirrelMail is a self-hostable webmail client.

    SquirrelMail also predates AJAX and nearly predates JavaScript itself. It came out 24 years before Port87. The latest official release of SquirrelMail is also 13 years old at this point. You should be using Roundcube if you want self hosted webmail (which also requires JavaScript).

    Sharing a different address with every app or service keeps them from tracking you. If a company leaks your email, you can easily change a label’s address and block the address that was leaked, preventing spammers from reaching you.

    Can the customers send emails using these aliases too?

    Legitimately the first random comment ad I'm considering.

    I'm trying to figure out if I could use this in combination with my alias service.

    You can. I encourage you to. The only reason it isn’t anonymized is that places tend to block anonymous email services, but it works really well with anonymous alias services.

    The document foundation compatibilty has been a disappointment for many years yet no work was done to fix it, now that AI can do part of their job they don't like it but when it can do more history says they'll adopt it in a hot minute

    Seems like open source no? Be the change you want to see!
