We’ve known about Proton for way longer then Mullvad. CEO has had TDS for a while now; the AI pivot is like the last 5 degrees of the heelturn. Same with Omarchy and Brave.

Ooh, ooh! Can I guess? Is it you?

And a VPN alt, too? 😅

i use posteo but wanted to switch to something else with more aliases but. it works there is no kontroversie... so 1€ per month is good.

I moved off of Proton to Mailbox.org maybe 6 months or so ago. No complaints. Much happier tbh.

one of the owners is a fascist

What happened with Mullvad?

Posteo is a decent one that friends of mine use

Fastmail seems fairly sensible about AI:

Their email service itself is excellent, and I appreciate that they recently introduced the option to move your account's data storage out of the USA into the EU. But they're not an encrypted service like Proton or Tuta.

Is my only hope hosting and maintaining my own email service?

Oh boy do I know a "tool" that can help you with that. It'll guide you through the process of getting started. Or if you want, you can have it's agents do it for you. /s

First mullvad and now proton. Sheeeesh.

So now this is an alternative email thread, right?

Astermail? Fastmail?

Are both also shoving ai down their employees throats and/or guving money to fascists?

Is my only hope hosting and maintaining my own email service?

I had been planning to move to proton. Definitely won’t be now.

Fastmail? Mailbox.org?

Wouldn't it be funny if people stopped using major social media outlets en masse because of such laws. You would see an immediate reversal of this requirement world-wide lol.

Reverse engineering this kind of shit and using it against big tech is like the one use of AI that I fully support. Just not as a permanent solution.

Main issue is they might not user your local DNS at all, easier to just not let them connect at all.

Yeah, but that's less than 1% of the price I initially thought it was

I hope we manage to make complete sinkhole/host lists for spyware tv's (or other hardware) soon. That way a lot more people can tell em to piss off.

Username checks out

They all did a “rush to market” so that it was fast and cheap, but it wasn’t secure. Seriously, do people not know the triangle?

You can have two of fast, secure, or cheap.

Damaging capitalism with capitalism is strictly prohibited peasant cunt!

Scamsung at it again

That's still about $1,000 US.

Totally true. People vote based on the weirdest criteria.

“Oh, I’m not going to vote for her because she’s a woman…” Like, do these people even check what the candidate is aiming to accomplish?

The same but for voters too. If you don't even understand the cycle of water, you can't be trusted with weighing on decisions on environmentalism, let alone affordable urban design or how to feed people.
