Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Honestly I'll still be using Proton and recommending it because it's just good and a net benefit for everyone, but goddammit Andy you should've taken Swiss neutrality to heart this time and not said anything.
Honestly, building a mail server isn't that hard if you aren't afraid of the command line.
True, but what you should really be afraid of these days are spam filters and hackers. As much as I'd love to selfhost my own mail server, IMHO it's just not worth the risk of important emails getting flagged as spam (both outgoing and incoming), or losing control of accounts due to a zero day attack or other means. The latter might sound far-fetched but I just saw it happen firsthand to a friend. The modern internet is a battleground!
Email is far too important to be set up in a fragile home server.
Unless you have concurrent redundancy with HA servers and multiple Internet connections, it's just not worth missing important emails imo.
Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I'm just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.
Too bad, I was considering their service when my VPN service ran out. Not excluding them outright, but will have to keep a eye on it.
Me too. This is disappointing. I think I'm gonna go with Mullvad or Mozilla now.
I've been de-googling and setup my proton mail last week. I'll look for other options.
Fox and Roku, everyone's two favourite small companies!
He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.
Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.
Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.
well at least they won't get any money for it
Why can't we have nice things?
well this makes me slightly less fomo'd after going for tuta and mullvad- but i'm probably jinxing it rn ;-;
Welp, the moment that it comes out that proton will be giving away everything I’ll move on, but not sure what to move to. Seemed like proton is the most secure and most user friendly, is there anything else we can use?
Is he right about the start of the anti-trust action ?
People somehow still surprised by Switzerland being neutral on Naziism
I don't think we can be blamed for Andy Yang. He's Taiwanese and studied in the US. It seems he just worked at CERN and that's why he was in Switzerland when he started Proton.
Damn, this sucks. I fled Google for Proton and use it for email, files, and my own domain email.
if you have your own domain, then moving off of proton is very painless
I have decided that this tweet is about making nice with the huge tank looking for targets. I love proton, I really want this to be the truth so im going to pretend it is, since we cant prove its not.
