  • Not sure if this helps you, but here’s my experience with email providers.

    After leaving gmail, I went to proton, was a paid user of proton for 2 years. I left it for a few reasons, the major one was lack of linux support in their services, like no drive app, late updates, even in VPN app. Some other small reasons were that it didn’t allow many custom domains, harder/complicated SMTP, since I like using Thunderbird. Later, I felt I am paying too much since I don’t need a lot of these services.

    Now, I am using mailbox.org with a €3 plan. I manage my own encryption keys. This means I cannot use the webUI, and I can only access my email on devices where those keys are stored. For my use case, this is really good. I can get so many aliases, I can connect so many custom domains. Considering it just as an email service, it is a lot cheaper than others.





  • I think if you open-source it now, a subset of people might be willing to take a look at it, some might even contribute to the code.

    Also, a majority of people, here, hate LLMs. Many are fine with locally hosted ones, but everyone hates the big tech.

    Your app relies on cloud hosted services, like for LLMs and messaging. Telegram is not FOSS, not even encrypted. We are self-hosters, this is just a small app which links cloud services to you.

    Also, the whole post content is AI-generated, probably your app is vibe-coded too. Considering you’re not a professional dev, how can you claim that the app you made is “safe”?

    There are so many things wrong with your post, and that’s why you’re downvoted so much.

  • Tldr? How?


    An app update on Motorola phones has started hijacking the Amazon app for the sake of injecting an affiliate code. To do that, tapping the app icon opens the user’s browser and immediately redirects to the Amazon app. It’s a “blink and you missed it” moment. This only happens when the user opens the Amazon app from the app drawer – not the homescreen pages.

    We verified on a Razr (2026) running an older Smart Feed v2.03.0056 that this does not happen. Our Razr Fold, with app version 2.03.0070, has started showing this behavior, so it’s the latest update that’s to blame for hijacking the user’s intent. We couldn’t replicate this on a Moto G Stylus (2026) running the same app version, though. Sideloading the app, for reasons unclear, doesn’t seem to trigger this behavior, as manually installing the updated version on the aforementioned Razr (2026) didn’t show the same behavior.

    In further digging, we noticed that the URL the phone opens up is “kira-abboud.com,” a website that references fashion influencer “@kirasfashionfinds.” Notably, this exact URL isn’t listed anywhere on Abboud’s social media, and the affiliate codes don’t match up either. The redirect coming from Motorola phones is using Amazona affiliate code “sramz-kff-008-20” which is completely different from any of the codes we saw from links shared by Abboud’s accounts and linked websites.
