I meant that this is the Achilles heels. A lot of us have it. It has the meta AI on it that we can’t deactivated. It is EEE and GOS does a good job isolating it but still a non privacy app.
My take is that Proton CEO Andy Yen’s pro-Trump comments were born out of naïvety, not the same mindset that plagues tech CEOs in the US. Combining that with Proton’s benign actions since then, I think it’s a good time to diversify, become familiar with alternatives like Tuta as you say, and make a backup plan should they enshittify, but don’t rush to jump ship now.
What you mean? You do realise most of us degoogle to get away from American grasp on technology, what’s the purpose of switching to Proton if there’s services even more independent?
The problem is I have been using proton for years and I have 385 entries so switching to say Tuta would be a drag (unless there is an option to migrate, I haven’t checked) Proton IIRC is also the cheaper of the two. Or would you say I should suck it up and make the switch?
I’m not sure, does managing two email accounts would be difficult for you? It wouldn’t be too bad having one extra, having some accounts on a different mail might work for you, if one gets hacked you don’t lose access to everything right away.
Also you don’t have to migrate all the entries right away, you can always just make new accounts on a new email provider, and if you do use password expiry in your pw manager you can migrate emails right then
I didn’t say anything about the Trump tweet. I only mentioned the journalist comment, which there is more information an nuance to it than you allow for.
But you assume because I say one thing I must be your enemy. You call me names. You refer to me as a group instead of a person.
So clearly you are an island to yourself. I hope your relationships in real life are far more fruitful.
Only one: ditch that crap named Proton.
Bring the downvotes bots 🤣
Also ditch WhatsApp.
I wish
You mean the Kryptonite? That is what kills a lot of privacy setups.
Can you elaborate? From what I understand GOS does a good job at isolation. But I might just create a separate proprietary profile

I see, thanks
It would have been helpful to explain why, whether that’s privacy, ethical, or political concerns.
But maybe the use of “🤣” says it all
And calling “bot” anyone who disagrees. Peak Reddit behaviour.
The peak Reddit behavior is the squadrons defending that crap 😂

“Childish behavior” is calling out a “privacy” company that does questionable stuff.
Noted.

Don’t post your setup if you can’t stand criticism 😂

AHAHAHAHAHAH
Don’t cry bro, I only told you to ditch an untrustable company which at first supported Trump and then was called out for silencing journalists.
I am 100% going to make it unpleasant for all who still use it, especially if they seem to care about privacy.

Like I already said this isn’t about any company but rather encouraging griefing
Ceo of Proton is a huge Republican fan, that might deter some people. Are you not interested in this?

I would be in the loop, but not necessarily OP. I am calling out OC to defend their suggestion with more than a simple accusation.
As a looped in person. Do you think I should stick to Proton for less hassle (migration) or is moving to Tuta for example the right move currently?

You are indeed correct, I’m not the type currently to stay up to date on news
Not this shit again.

After thinking some more this mindset is not good at all. If everyone becomes complacent due to habit and convenience that would be bad

I mean I can do it like I did with Gmail, just forward all the mails and slowly migrate everything
Yep, says it all about you fanboys 🤣
Uhhh why?
Goldfish memory? It was one of the biggest things on lemmy

Proton ceo not politically neutral as he advertised
And they recently were caught in the “accidental” suspension of the accounts of two journalists.
There has been enough information released to essentially debunk the connotation you are implying.
Did the CEO tweet in support to Trump administration? Yes he did!
Did two journalists have their accounts suspended after external pressure? Yes they did!
Debunk this, fanboy!
As I have said already to another of yours, time will tell if I was too cautious or you were a fool.
I didn’t say anything about the Trump tweet. I only mentioned the journalist comment, which there is more information an nuance to it than you allow for.

Don’t cry, we are just having fun here.
It looks like protonpass, OP uses mullvad instead.
Is the controversy about the VPN?
Nah the controversy was with some executive at the company thanking trump for some stuff
I mean isn’t proton recommended on privacyguides? Do you think they need to update it?
Privacy guides recommends Brave. I’ve said enough.
What’s wrong with brave? I didn’t like the crypto feature but I got the impression that it’s a good privacy browser for people that need syncing
Do your own research, this is the most useful thing I can tell you and it applies to anything.
Yes that is correct, I just wanted to hear what people on Lemmy have to say
Brave, like Proton, has a lot of fanboys (assuming they aren’t bots) that blatantly ignore key informations about the companies of said products.
In this kind of scenario resorting to your own independent search is the only thing you can do.
I see, good to know
