I wouldn’t say he embraced Trump, I’d say he is pro-breaking big tech, since that would probably help Proton.

Bernie Sanders even came out and said “hey, if Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates, I’m with him on that.”

Trump says a lot of shit to appeal to working class people. I don’t disagree with reminding him of what he said and holding him to those things, if he’s now going to be president.

ivpn and Tutanota for email/calendar/contacts. And honestly, if you're comfortable with self hosting your own stuff, Nextcloud can manage your files, calendar, contacts and all kinds of other stuff.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social do you support importing emails from @protonprivacy@mastodon.social ? And also do you support exporting from your own platform in case people have to switch from your platform? Don't want to lock people in...

Damn, not a great start to 2025 but I guess migrating away from Proton will be this month's project.

I can't catch a break.

EDIT: Nope. It's my fault. I was warned about Proton, and I didn't listen. I deserve this.

Warned by, how? A brief sentence with no citations would be enough for me.

There're plenty of posts on Lemmy about Proton being shady sometimes. No Linux apps, creating a crypto app, and now this.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 9 points 23 hours ago

Protonmail has a native linux app for both Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora/Red Hat.

Goddammit, and I just signed up for a Duo account during their sale last year to try and de-google me and my partner's life.

Ugh, I guess it's still better than Google too, but I won't be migrating to their password manager or vpn. Now I have to fully anticipate leaving Proton ASAP as well. It's even more of a pita for my partner though, she's not a techie, part of the proton appeal was that the apps and integrations make switching convenient for her.

So fucking typical, I miss the "Don't be evil" days when engineers at least pretended to care about social issues and sometimes even actually did.

Damn, and I just switched to proton because they have port forwarding and moderate NAT so that I can effectively seed torrents.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like I'm stuck with nord and their shitass torrent support lmao
