I don't think Yen understands his customers or why we use Proton. And he sounds like another C-suite bully. Disappointing. I am a Proton customer and I'd really like to not move again, but I will.

    @denny If you want a good alternative, I would recommend for drive, Nextcloud (can be self-hosted or you can use a public instance), for passwords, the KeePass ecosystem (Chipass is a fork of KeePassXC with a stronger LLM policy + I think they implemented Qt6 earlier, and it's also compatible with the same browser extension! On Android, you have KeePassDX, while on iOS, you have KeePassium), for VPN, IVPN is awesome (Mullvad's CEO is financing a racist party in Sweden, avoid them too)As for mail, the big one, you have LOTS of good alternatives. Tuta is decent, but I prefer more open IMAP compatible services since it means you have lots of email clients to choose from (Thunderbird, Geary, etc.), like mailbox.org, posteo (both German), and Fastmail (Australian). Mozilla has recently started rolling out "Thundermail Pro" which seems pretty cool (still supports standard protocols, not Thunderbird exclusive!)Avoid having all your eggs in one basket, otherwise you just get another Google or Microsoft!
