Do you need end-to-end encrypted emails and cloud storage?
If not, you may find cheaper alternatives (if cost is a thing for you). :)

It’s probably an AI generated website. There are so many errors that we decided to ignore it.
It’s not just fast fashion like H&M, but European luxury brands also outsource their production to Asia. If you go to any department store with premium brands or outlet stores, you’ll find that, except for shoes, which are often made in Portugal, Spain or Italy, clothing made in Europe is pretty rare. And when they are made in the EU, there are questions about the human rights conditions too.
When you go to ethical local stores that produce their own textiles, design and production, a simple T-shirt will cost more than €100. That’s just out of the reach of most people, especially families. So, to be able to compete and survive, it seems most European clothing brands are “obliged” to produce in Asia, otherwise they can’t beat their competitors on price.
This is one of the most regrettable tales in history. :(
Who is behind it?
One of us has one and likes it! We wrote about it here:

4 things you can do before uninstalling #WhatsApp completely:
1- Create a folder for messaging apps on your smartphone and install at least two alternatives to WhatsApp (such as Signal, Threema, Delta, Session, etc., depending on your values, country, and where you’re most likely to find your contacts). This way, if you choose Signal and a friend chooses Threema, you’ll both have a better chance of finding more friends on the apps you picked based on your preferences.
2- Update your WhatsApp profile photo and status. Create an image showing the logos of the new apps where people can reach you. Write a short status message explaining that you’re switching to new apps. If the new app doesn’t use your phone number as an ID, include your new ID in your avatar or status so people can easily find you.
3- Post a story on WhatsApp. Let people know you’re switching because WhatsApp is no longer safe. Invite them to try alternative apps and suggest more than one option. Share invitation links and help spread the word.
4- Turn off WhatsApp notifications and enable notifications for your new apps. Try to avoid opening WhatsApp unless it’s urgent. If you reply late on WhatsApp, let people know you’re using a different app and don’t check WhatsApp as often.

Most of the world’s manufacturing is in Asia. Not just electronics, but textiles, clothing, shoes, tools, decorations and thousands of other things.
But if we use the same logic, we shouldn’t say an iPhone is American since it’s made in China.

Maybe we’re wrong but for the moment they’re not interoperable.
But the new European DMA regulation requires platforms to be interoperable. Meta and Apple are obliged now to open up their apps to communicate with smaller rival apps such as Signal. Apps using XMPP may be allowed to communicate with other apps in the future, although this seems to pose some security risks.
Some information about the requirement for interoperability between messengers:
We hope they will move their hosting to Europe. By the way, it looks really interesting!
Not very exact. ChatGPT can perform web searches and read images.

Between Proton & kSuite, both are good, you just need to compare prices and features. :)
Both have beautiful and modern interfaces - you can create a free account on both to test.
Both companies offer very different services from each other included in their suite, e.g., Proton has a VPN and Password Manager, while Infomaniak offer video call, transfer of large files, office online etc.
It also depends on whether you read your emails in a mobile app, browser or email client and the importance you attach to E2E encryption.
