  • you seem fairly well versed in both Immich and ente…

    im a new user to immich, but with the caveat ive got my photos mounted externally and presented through immich - the external drive is backed up elsewhere with a cloud agent i dont self host - does ente have a similar feature to mount and read external media?












  • Long term Proton User here and general privacy enthusiast. Don’t read into that as I’m wedded to proton, or a shill. Genuinely looking for others opinion here.

    Why does this indicate the company is no longer commited to privacy and indicate that its clearly some sort of a sham? I’m no crypto expert, the only crypto I have any of is XMR and even thats just reserved for as and when services allow me to pay with it. Really this new offering is of no interest or use to me so I’m by no means defending it. The same goes for their AI. I’m struggling to understand how these 2 decisions are being perceived as the death of Proton and how its no longer a Privacy Company though?

    From my understanding, Protons offerings are still worlds more private than other mainstream offerings, and still come with a fairly high degree of quality of life features that make it easy for Joe public to use and not be put off by lack of features. Is this not still a major victory in the grand scheme of all privacy rights being slowly stripped away?

    Have I missed something else behind the scenes around Proton’s practice’s that are indicative of a larger problem or are people annoyed more so that Proton haven’t fixed long outstanding pain points with their existing solutions? Trust me, I understand the frustration as a Linux user that several features dont work but as a business I also appreciate proton have to stay ahead in the market and appeal to the masses in order to make a profit and keep running effectively as a business so would love to hear some other views on why this and AI has been so badly recievdd as a whole by the privacy community.

    Also, what alternatives are there I have missed that work well on android and Linux without making sacrifices? Always down to try alternatives
