Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Well, that's a platform I'm leaving now.

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.

God. Fucking. Dam. It.

I use too many of their services right now to get everything switched over to something else before trump takes power.

The swiss better fucking jail this guy if he hands over data to the us government without swiss court approval, per swiss law.

Now I have to find a new password manager, VPN, and email provider. Open to suggestions, but I want to find services that aren't hosed in the us or by trump friendly countries/companies, and ideally use open source software and zero access encryption.

Proton Mail --> Mail-In-A-Box

Proton Calender --> Mail-In-A-Box

Proton Drive --> Mail-In-A-Box

Proton VPN --> Mullvad VPN

Proton Pass --> Bitwarden/KeePass+Mail-In-A-Box

Proton Wallet --> Stick with your cryptos base wallet app. Never give your private keys to any service.

Ah yes, Fox News. The company that is simultaneously 'news' or 'entertainment', depending on which description serves them better at the time. These are perfect representatives for the era where billionaires are supposedly 'anti-establishment' and book burners that police other people's identities and force their religion onto others are supposedly all for free speech and freedom of expression.

I just don't know anymore. How do you deal with people who will point at a fly and tell you that it's a bird, while sincerely believing it?
