Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
People somehow still surprised by Switzerland being neutral on Naziism
Well shit, I was about to make the switch to Proton for email… glad I’ve been lazy about it, now. I’ll figure something else out, mail-in-a-box looks like what I really want anyway
Im glad I dont use any of their products
the rich got so unbelievably rich and the poor became so insignificant / invisible that these few people in the middle think they’re the “little guys”
wake the fuck up
One thing that this entire situation has done for me is to make me feel more justified in my posture of never paying a subscription for an online service if I can avoid it. So far I’m using Proton stuff for the free tier only, so I can have some degree of relaxation in evaluating any alternatives withotu also having to worry about banking stuff.
These CEOs really don’t want the average people to like them.
I don’t think they can comprehend what an average person is.

Glad I changed my stack over a few months ago:
- Proton Mail → Posteo
- Proton VPN → Mullvad VPN
- Proton Drive → Syncthing
I’d also recommend KeePassXC in place of Proton Pass, and Cake Wallet in place of Proton Wallet. However, these were both Proton services I never used anyway.
Long time Posteo user. It’s pretty basic but works great, is reliable and is very cheap. Only downside is they don’t support using it with your own domain.
Damn, that’s critical for my needs.
Yeah, it sucks. And they haven’t been very responsive to user suggestions either. In fact the UI for their webmail hasn’t appreciably changed in like 10 years.
It’d actually be super useful if all of the VPN CEOs publicly stated which authoritarian leaders they are a fan of, so that consumers can make an informed choice on how easily they’ll sell you out to the security apparatus of your country.
OK let me add fuel to the fire. here in Andy’s response he says the tweet was from last year which is technically true but it was from December 2024.
Also how can he think that Trump stands for little guys when he has elon musk as his pet monkey
He does realize that Big Tech loves trump, right?
Large corporations like google have grown and thrived in Silicon Valley, supported by the politicians of California. So by extension they are partially responsible for enabling these companies to be the giants they are.
According to this article Google has funded 40 elected officials and spent $10.7 million in lobbying California’s legislature and Governor this year alone.
If a president (even a shitty one) was considering putting a damper on companies like google, I would not be against that. We’ll see if anything actually happens.
I’m not ditching Proton over one fucking tweet
Good for you
I was just going to start my de-google to Proton. Time for a new plan.
It’s almost understandable to bend the knee in the hopes of avoiding the coming purges, but this goes well beyond just seeking corporate survival. Genuinely disgusting. It looks like the way forward for Proton will be lit by the bridges they’re burning.
First strike Andy.
…and your out. That’s enough for me.

It’s so all over the map, what does or doesn’t count as toughness. That criteria rewrites itself in real time like the plot of a dream.
Avoiding or ignoring questions I would have thought is weakness. Letting covid sweep the country. Falling behind China and India with a weaker labor force. Being ready to surrender to Russia. Being unable to confront the truth that you lost an election.
Any number of mixed and matched definitions could include or exclude those from operative definitions of toughness/weakness without any more or less rhyme or reason.
he was absolutely right on that
What is a good alternative for Mail? I’m mostly for Proton because of Data security and Mail aliases. But this move is actually concerning.
Yes, I know the background behind it.
