Just received an email from Microsoft about a 20%+ increase in my M365 subscription. They are taking the piss. Since none of my (otherwise perfectly performant) hardware supports W11, I have already been experimenting with Linux and Proton Mail and this will obviously encourage me to continue in this direction.

Ditching Big Tech for Proton - Privacy Wins Of The Week!
@Sketchblopp I hope #Patreon users have better results than the #ProtonVPN and #protonmail users did when Proton asked about AI last year. They rolled out AI for Proton Mail a little less than a year later. Could not have been what its users wanted. But did it any way.
Hey #protonmail users. The scrubbing of image metadata is not a feature that is on by default. Take a peek at your settings and tighten the screws.
Proton is an awful company.
A few years ago, Proton decided to restructure their plans. For many, this meant a free upgrade without paying extra. --- Sounds nice, right?
It turned out to be a nightmare for many others.
For example, I had the original Proton Family Plan. This allowed everyone to have their own e-mail and login details.
A paid for 1 full year and mid-way, suddenly that plan was discontinued. The account had 3 e-mails (myself and two family members). Proton ended up making 1 e-mail a premium e-mail, 1 a free account, and the 3rd one vanished.
Because they made at least 1 a premium, they claimed I was not owed a refund, because I was still getting a paid service. And they were "sorry" 1 email vanished.
On Reddit, they prevented anyone from complaining. They did the same thing on Meta (Facebook) too.
Months later, they brought back the Family Plans, and you can order one today, but I would not trust Proton. Especially since now they're in the USA.
Good choice.
That is when they started to migrate their services to the U.S.A.
Today, all their products and services, not just Proton Wallet, fall under U.S. Jurisdiction.
The more I dig into this, the more I have to ask myself: Seriously? How is this even possible for a company of this size ?
Proton plans to invest over 1 billion CHF across all its products and expansions by 2030.
If Proton increasingly depends on outside funding or strategic partnerships, can it really claim to be independent and safeguard user privacy, or is that just empty marketing spin?

3. #Federated Architecture with Centralized Core
Unlike #Matrix / #Signal, #DeltaChat avoids "coordinated upgrades" via its centralized Rust library. This enables:
- Cross-compatibility with 500k+ devices
- Interoperability with SMTP/IMAP servers (#Gmail, #ProtonMail)
- Minimal metadata leakage (TLS-encrypted headers)
➤ Study: Song et al. (USENIX Security ’24) confirmed transport-layer security fixes .
Does anyone recommend Proton Mail? I want to move away from gmail if possible.

Got a reply from #protonMail "We do use LLM to generate some code, however, all code is still thoroughly tested and reviewed for security." Not really comforting given that the big LLMs are so opposed to their basic values! And letting a chatbot scrape your files opens a giant attack surface.

#Keet for messaging, #ProtonMail, #GrayJay for streaming, #filen_io for cloud backup, #Obsidian for notes, Organic Maps

@nicolasvivant juste pour mon information personnelle... #protonmail est à mettre au même niveau que l'hébergement aux US ?
Je sais que le ceo de Proton a eu quelques mots surprenants/malheureux concernant #trump et #maga tout en rétropédalant largement par la suite. Pour le reste, la plate-forme semble tenir la route en termes de sécurité/ confidentialité.
(Je dis ça parce que je suis en train d'évaluer leurs services...)
Merci
Has anyone tested out the new #Proton Authenticator app? I have been using #ProtonMail for years now but am not heavily invested in the rest of their ecosystem. Currently I use Authy which is fine but I'm wondering if there's a benefit to switching
I am the proud owner of a brand new #ProtonMail Plus account. Shall slowly get rid of #gmail, although will not completely delete it until someone can help Mum & Dad change my address. Exciting.
Bless you, Proton Mail, your application has correctly classified your own promotional email to me, as spam. #ProtonMail
