Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

    there are probably providers out there that deliver this.

    would not recommend proton though. the ceo is a fascist, and not to be trusted anymore.

      That tweet doesn’t remotely make one a fascist.

      Also the control of the company is in the hands of a nonprofit with a very solid board.

      CEO claims are valid and if people don’t want to support company because of that is fine. But please don’t spread false information about their producs not being trustworthy anymore. Their products have independent audits to show that you can trust their claims and it’s not just empty words.

      And thus is one of the issues. I watched for a long time as sooooooooooo many people urged going to proton. And now look.

      This is true for a lot of things. Are we just doomed to endlessly migrate to different emails, browsers, phones, etc?

      Gets fucking old and why I just don’t most of the time. Most hype about anything ever is bullshit.

        honestly sticking with FOSS mostly solves all this.

        ive been using firefox for more than a decade now without problems. mozilla is certainly fumbling but the browser is still good enough imo.

        truly open phones would solve that problem for good, but any foss rom will get you covered and always has. anything goes as long as it can run lineage or similar.

        as with email or vpn services, i don’t think theres really a good medium term solution there since these services are run by third parties. those are always about trust.

        its a capitalism problem more than anything, really, but most of it has stable workarounds.
