Good Bye Proton I am Not Happy With You
Any Suggestion ?

Your job is to push the limits of what the LLM can do autonomously, step in for the things that it cannot, and always think of how you can improve the status quo.

I hate this timeline.
I’m on a multi-year sub unfortunately… I guess I’ll still move out whatever I can and just set myself up to not use them
In your case I would start by getting my own custom domain, still bound to proton, and start moving my accounts to it little by little. Once you decide on a different provider you’ll switch your DNS records to it and everything will keep working (potentially also doing a backup of your whole inbox)
This exactly for me. At least it’ll give me time to find the best alternative once everyone settled into their perspective services
Tutanota is a paid service with a calendar app and email client app on Android and iOS. Fdroid availability too. For desktop, AppImage for major Linux distros, including Arch, Debian, Mint, Fedora, etc. I like it so far. My favorite is all the free aliases so that my spam goes somewhere else. My personal email never gets any nonsense.
Clients are Open Source. The service is paid, but I’d rather pay a bit instead of deal with BS. Nothing is free and they have to pay for those servers to run and keep shit in production. It just 3€ a month to get email, use of custom domains, 20GB storage, unlimited calendars, and you can select a family option to add more people for the same price. You can use 3 custom domains. Not sure if you get the domains or just carry them over, but I’d like to know.
Tuta drive is launching in a few months.
I’m also interested in disroot. Check that out. I’ve also tried kolabnow which I thought was okay but didn’t use it to long. I kind of forgot about it.
"The LLM is fast. You are slow, but you carry with you a lifetime of experience, judgment calls, and understanding. "
I hope their next great plan is to extend life expectancy, because without a new wave of experienced humans, this plan is shortsighted.
It is disappointing. They are non-profit. As long as the company is financially stable they shouldn’t need to expand so aggressively like Google. Unfortunately I paid for another year a month ago, but this will be the last year proton gets money from me.
I don’t think they are actually a non profit.
You’re correct. Their primary shareholder is The Proton Foundation, which operates as a non-profit, but the company itself, Proton AG, is for profit.
“It should come as a surprise to no one at Proton, least of all in engineering, that software engineering has irrevocably changed this year if not before”
Yep, I’ve never had to fix so many bugs and resolve so many production outages in a single year as I’ve done this year. AI is great. Couldn’t be happier. /s
Remember when Windows updates could be moderately trusted to not irrevocably brick devices if not run smoothly
I wish you were exaggerating but my workplace has been sending multiple bricked laptops a week in for warranty. All windows update.
Is buying my own domain and paying for tuta the move guys?
Definitely buy for your own domain.
Sadly it’s the only way of having “portability” for mails
Tuta? Sure Infonaniak? Why not? The next thing? We will see Self hosting? Maybe you’ll have enough time to do that one day
The only way to have control of your digital destiny is portability
There are plenty of alternatives, including Posteo.de and Mailbox.org.
Both of which support every client via IMAP and SMTP instead of inventing their own protocol for no fucking reason.
I predicted this and argued with so many people about Proton being a shitty company. I am not even happy about this, just sad that so many people wasted their time and money.

It’s almost entertaining at this point to see how out of touch they are. Many Proton users chose them because they were supposed to be the anti-techbro alternative to Google and Micro$oft, and alas, instead of actually taking a look in the mirror, they double down instead.
Thank God, i was thinking it was the Proton compatibility layer for Linux…
recently moved over to posteo, paid but very cheap. Ive heard theyre good privacy-wise but tbh I liked their graphic design compared to others (NOT A GREAT REASON LOL)
If I have to interact with the tool daily, liking the UI would be an important point for me, alongside with privacy, cost, platform support, etc.
Keep up the public pressure, if it worked to make microsoft stop mandating recall, it will work on proton
