Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

remember all the fucking rubes saying Proton’s LLM wasn’t a problem cause only business and visionary accounts had access to it? well, only one month later of fucking course they went back on that and now it’s included with duo and family accounts, and my soon to be cancelled unlimited account just popped an ad for it on the compose window trying to get me to opt into the free trial for the fucking thing (and also the button’s purple just as a last dark pattern to try and fool users into clicking it)
@self @zogwarg highly recommend migrating to posteo
wtf is a posteo
@weirdwriter @froztbyte it’s posteo.net
Posteo is from Germany and they’re reasonably popular here. Their offer is quite different from Proton, though. If you want full E2E encryption you need to use GPG or S/MIME and handle that yourself (and obviously so does your recipient), so it’s not as batteries included as what Proton offered.
I like their focus on green energy and sustainability though.
Another option like that is mailbox.org. They’re presenting themselves as a bit more business-like.
That's significantly less comforting than Proton's Switzerland. It's in 14 Eyes after all.
Switzerland may not be in 14 Eyes, but it's still got its own surveillance apparatus and Swiss companies are still required to respond to lawful requests from the Usual Agencies. It's also a signatory to various mutual aid treaties. So I'm not sure how much difference this actually makes in practice beyond "marketing".
