@Tutanota Previous efforts have been to try and get more favorable pricing from MS but we'll see.

@Tutanota das ist lustig, wo in Frankreich doch jeder der open source verwendet, oder nur die Dokumentation von ublock Origin hat, als Terrorist gilt.

@Okuna Oha!

@Tutanota This really makes me wish Czechia took the same approach

@Tutanota. I've sent an email this morning, bu still nothing, how long will it take. I'm currently on free plan, but I will upgrade to revolutionary plan once you provide subscription over Google play store

@maroje Technical support for free users only helps if it's a technical issue, and it can take a few days. You can also ask our community.

@Tutanota I am thrilled! My partners secretary uses OpenOffice in the Technical School here in Luxembourg. Happy to see the others moving in the right direction, it is far less toxic!

@Tutanota @Okuna WOW, wusste gar nicht, was für ein gefährlicher Mensch ich in diesem Sinne bin. Dachte immer nur, Privatsphäre ist selbst verständlich.... Schlimmer ich gebe das meinen Kindern mit auf den Weg. Aber sein Haus abzuschließen, wenn man es verlässt ist scheinbar noch vertretbar.

@Tutanota I wish there was a larger movement. Europe seems to sort-of get it. We will see what will be after the orange man is no longer in power. I suspect Microsoft's lobbist are already at work and prepping for the next big thin in EU.
