Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account

Private internet access is nice
They have port forwarding, but they were bought by a company that has been caught stuffing malware into their software. That scandal was years ago, but the corporate buyout left a sour taste in many people’s mouths. If a company has previously been caught burying malware into their software, would you trust them with anything installed on your computer?

This might sound crazy but this is way worse to me than the CEO simping for orange man. At least for Trump he has a semi plausible excuse.
Reposting stuff on Mastodon or Bluesky barely requires any additional effort. And I cannot think of a good reason to close abandon the free publicity when they already have it set up.
I think the reason is that every time they post something, someone there points out the Andy Yen thing. Thats basically the only comments. So its detrimental to their business.

Be careful licking the CyberBoots, they corrode and explode if you look at them wrong
Ah yes, don't bother addressing the errors in your statements, just call people names and move on. Super fucking mature.

I'm searching for a safe and cheap alternative for my own domain, but it's hard! And I don't want to give money to American companies.
Mailbox.org located in Germany and run by Peer Heinlein. You can use your own Domain with it just fine

Sure sure. The guy who unprompted endorsed a trump appointment that has deep US Telco ties, bizarrly said "the GOP is the party for the little guy," had nothing but wonderful things to say about J.D vance, stated that Chuck Schumer slow rolled 2 internet privacy bills because of "quid pro quo" with his daughters working for big tech, used the phrase "triggered" unprompted, and just randomly added "88" to the end of his new user name.
Yeah, that guy is just neutral and disillusioned with the Democratic party.
It wasn't unprompted - he was literally replying to the announcement of the appointment on Twitter. An announcement of a person he thought would be great for a role that he's apparently been advocating for action against big tech in for years.
He's born in 1988 you dolt.
The ugliest thing about Lemmy I've noticed so far is that it enjoys disinformation just as much as Reddit - as long as it fits the circlejerk, updoots this way.

Proton's revenue comes from paid subscriptions.
They still offer free services, though.

What's good about the Tulsi Gabbard here? Unless you just mean she (like all the Trump appointees) is the worst person for the job and it'll make the country collapse faster lol
She was pro Assad when no one else was, which I was a fan of, and of course she's also probably very bad for the national intelligence apparatus. That's not even accelerationism, they're just fucking evil and need to be destroyed along with other spookery.

I'm well aware of the foundation, and the fact that they have left him on the board with zero consequences or controls.
Stating your ethics and then not enforcing them makes the statement pointless.
If your want to be hard headed about this, that's your problem.
Yan isn't the only guy on the board of directors. The others are pretty fucking credible and knowledgeable people on the topic of privacy. They all make the decisions togetherness. And im pretty certain they'll have the last word and steer Proton in the right direction.

"State your ethics and then stand by them" is being hard headed?
When the above is a bar too high for you to reach, that's a you problem, mate.

Huh, I noticed you cherry picked two things to try to refute and ignored all the others I listed like his fandom for J.D vance while endlessly criticizing chuck Schumer, his statement that the GOP "was there for the little guy," his use of the term "triggered" to describe offending someone. Go on, keep excusing all the clear MAGA mask on indicators.
How about you give those a shot too before you whine about disinfo?

Well this is certainly only one of the decisions of all time. I guess we finally got our reaction from the board. I was waiting, hoping to hear some rebuke of Yen’s bullshit. Didn’t expect another intentional step into shit. Bye Felicia.

I've been using Tuta for more than 8 years now and had one serious issue with their service during this time (longer outage, pretty early on). Other than that I have nothing but positive experience with them.
They're also based in Germany if that makes any difference.I was debating between proton and tuta, but I was able to get first.last@tuta so I’m happy that worked out now.

Everyone recommends Tuta in these threads.
I just (finally) had a look at their pricing. Seems egregiously expensive? 6EUR / user / month for their cheapest business plan is a bit nuts

We can only hope they won't screw up as well in the future.

That’s what Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Google Workspace Starter, and Proton Mail Essentials are all priced at. Seems like the market price to me

German and secure email service.
But unfortunately the web frontend isn't quite as good, so if you are dependent on something like this then don't use it. -

I use Bitwarden coming from LastPass. It's great for me and my fam.
