But if you copy/paste random commands from the internet and it breaks your distro you're stupid.

But I'm not gonna tell you how to do it via GUI. So here, copy this terminal command.

The better analogy is 50K people are in a room, 80% of them are mute and deaf (they don't comment so you can't talk to them);10% have the complete opposite opinion and you don't want to communicate with them; and the other 10% share your interests, but they are busy communicating with the other people. So at the end of the day you have 2% of people to converse with.

2% of people finding your posts, upvoting, and interacting with you. Not much.

Truth.

I try linux probably 2 times per year, every year, and at least hop between 5+ distros. Every time I run into issues, I ask the community, and I am completely shit on.

"Go back to microsoft you dumb fuck". Like ok. Didn't realize a distro completely nuking itself by me clicking update in the software manager was a me problem, but sure.

Every time you comment something like this, nice people come in and tell you how the Linux community is so accepting, followed by 30 comments telling you to kill yourself lmao.

Not where I am from.

I thought I made it clear? I was on the Proton Mail Essentials ($9.55) and was required to go to Proton Business ($15) to unlock Proton Pass Plus.

An over $5 increase.

But once again, I don’t see a need to slander and lie about a company that by all accounts is trying to actually do something about the privacy nightmare that the internet has become.

Please tell me where I lied? Thanks.

I setup the VPN tunnel. It's a toggle switch on my phone that allows me to access my network as if I was home. It's free (using wireguard app), and way more secure, as my phone is the only device allowed to access it.

Downside is that I need to add devices manually if I wanted, but upside is that it's super secure and not directly open to the web via domain.

Can’t say I share your sentiment. I’ve been quite happy with their rate of progress over the years and the applications they offer. I’ve been using them since they only offered mail and haven’t ever had any issues. I’d rather them take their time to do things right then try to release new things at a frantic pass. While they might not have all the bells and whistles, for the average user I think they provide more than enough value.

They redesigned their Android app and missed the promised deadline TWICE and took 2 YEARS to release it. Now they're working on the Android remake, to add threaded view, to finally catch up to year 2023. Already missed the deadline once.

Also, your pricing is just completely wrong and off base. Pass by itself is $5/month ONLY if you pay per month. If you pay for 1 year worth it’s $4 a month and $3 month if you pay for 2 years. And that’s only if you for some reason only want to pay for proton pass.

It's $5 when I add it onto my Mail Plus for 12 months. Not sure what country you're from, but it's $5 in my country.

Likewise, if you’re paying $120 year for protonmail then you’re most likely on the proton unlimited bundle for $10 per month paying for 1 years worth at a time. In that case you already have access to proton pass (and in fact all of their proton apps and premium features), so I’m not sure why you think you need to pay again for proton pass.

Again, I am on Proton Plus. The second highest tier. The next tier is Proton Business, and it doesn't go higher than that. I need more than 3 measely custom domains, so instead of ProtonMail offering the ability to pay for just more custom domains, they nickel and dime you and force you to pay for the business account. Like I said in my initial comment, they are money grubbing.

edit: I should also note, you don’t have to pay for any of their services. You could get by just using the free versions of everything if you didn’t need the extra bells and whistles offered for paying customers.

Except the features BitWarden hides behind a $1/month subscription, Proton locks behind a $5/month subscription. So unless I want to switch from BitWarden to ProtonPass and LOSE features, then yes, I do.

Proton Pass pisses me off. Proton is such a money grubbing company that takes FOREVER to release stuff.

I pay $120 per year for ProtonMail, and they want me to pay $180 to unlock the full Proton Pass. $60 per year, for something that BitWarden does for only $12 per year.

Not to mention you'll be waiting years for apps to come out. They're such a fragmented company. The Android remake is already so far past the estimated release date it's sad. Proton Drive Windows app finally came out, but fuck Mac and Linux users, I guess.

BitWarden is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, 9 browsers, iOS, Android, and CLI. - Premium is $1/month.

ProtonPass is available for iOS, Android, and 4 browsers. - Premium is $5/month.

Can't wait for Proton to release a few more half baked services with outdated apps and a promise to update them in a year, but then 3 years later there's still radio silence. Perhaps use your paid services money for developing in a timely manner? Holy shit.

Because everyone complained about the flat tire.

Sounds like China and USA have similar priorities.
