It will definitely depend on the ISP, but generally for repeated “AUP” violations they will suspend your service entirely.

Interestingly it’s often not technically the data usage that triggers this, its how much utilisation (generally peak utilisation) you cause and high data usage is a by product of that. Bandwidth from an ISP’s core network to their various POIs that customer connections come from is generally quite expensive, and residential broadband connections are fairly low margin. So lets say they’ve got 100Gbps to your POI that could realistically service many thousands of people, a single connection worth €/$10-15 a month occupying 10% of that is cause for concern.

If you do 800TB in a month on any residential service you’re getting fair use policy’ed before the first day is over, sadly.

Post takes days, weeks, even months. Food delivery is minutes, and point-to-point.

My original half joking comment was about mosquitos not having any concept of language. Somehow you’ve made that into an issue about people misgendering my cat, something which my cat does not care or even know about. If someone refers to my cat as the “wrong” pronouns, I don’t bother correcting them because, again, it’s a cat who has no interest in such things.

I’ve never told anyone “hey my cat prefers they/them”, because my cat much like the mosquitos doesn’t have any such concept.

My theology is a little rusty so bear with me, but; I believe the teaching here is that initially God did create 'companions' for Adam from the earth by way of creatures/animals/critters/etc and then had Adam go around naming them all. But then it goes on to say something like 'there was not a helper fit for him from them', so God made this "helper" (I'll elaborate on that word) directly from Adam who immediately recognised her as being from himself. Genesis isn't really literal either, especially not the first half of it so think of this more as a metaphor.

If you dive into the linguistics a bit (my memory here is also a bit rusty) the term "helper" is translated from the Hebrew word "ezer" and is the same word used to describe God's relationship with humanity. There's a lot of misinterpretation (understandably so IMO) about the word "helper" in most translations, but what most theologians believe it to mean by the use of the word "ezer" is the relationship between man and woman is collaborative and supportive, and not hierarchical despite the English translation making it sound a bit not like that.

The females use she/it pronouns.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but to the best of my knowledge I don't think mosquitos have the concept of language.

They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they're big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they've chosen to sell doesn't affect them financially.

DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won't skip sponsored segments though, you'll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they've decided to shill.

I don't want to be a downer, but realistically considering the impact of this Canada is probably going to have to acquiesce at least temporarily.

Trump is applying cold, calculating business logic to this; Canada needs to do business with the US to a large degree, if that becomes costly their (relatively) small economy becomes less viable without reform which they don't have time to implement.

Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% behind Canada in fighting this but realistically it's not a fight they're going to win.

I'm not the person you were asking, but I recently tried tried Tuta with my own domain and decided to look elsewhere due to a few things;

• No way to import mail, despite it being announced as "worked on" back in 2022. This is a fairly huge blocker IMO.
• Email rules don't seem to apply until you view (and I assume decrypt) your mailbox. This led to some annoying behaviour like push notifications for emails that should have had rules applied to them.
• Spam filtering is all over the place - it's overzealous and filters legitimate emails, and at the same time it lets in plenty of actual spam.
• The mobile apps are odd - you get realtime push notifications, but when you open the app and view your mailbox, it takes 20-30 seconds for it to show the email it just notified you about (even if you tap the notification).
• Their history of outages and instability are a big cause for concern IMO. Email is a crucial service, so uptime, deliverability, and data integrity are paramount.

For routine/non-sensitive email, they feel like too much hassle for the average punter in my opinion. And if I put on my industry hat; their frequent downtime is a huge red flag, and a sign that they either don't know what they're doing or don't have enough cash to operate properly.

Having said that, I still think they're the best current option if privacy/encryption is your only concern - to the best of my knowledge no one else takes that quite as seriously as they do.

Hmmm I’ll have to check what Moses said about that

I think the criteria here is “how many verses from the Book of Revelation have they fulfilled” rather than their competency as president.
