~10year sub and merch buyer calling it myself. The board and their inaction have continued to disappoint me more than the idiotic actions of this one tech psychopath.

    What are you switching to?

    Oof. I had a friend who did pen testing. Only she never abbreviated it. I didn't hear the abbreviated form until much later. I think she just liked saying "penetration". Even after a couple kids at that point, she was pretty young. But I always thought it was cool what she did.

    It's a shame Proton is going this way, since their product offering could rival Google. They could have partnered with Graphene, perhaps, to make Android more secure. Not sure if, as a Mac/iPhone guy, it would make me more likely to switch (though, the Fairphone 6+ caught my attention), but it would be good for Android.

    Next phone I get will be graphene and MUST have a replaceable battery. Period.

    I’ve already switched to Linux on almost all my computers. Still have one macOS and my son won’t let me switch his laptop to Linux. But everything else… Linux. And I’m learning a LOT.

    Is there seriously a phone that supports GrapheneOS and has a replaceable battery? Graphene has a famously short list of supported devices.

    Apparently not. Dammit. Well, there are other linux phone options that do offer replaceable batteries. I feel like that's more important than the operating system.

    Graphene only supports devices that have the hardware necessary to utilize the security features Graphene devs implement. Right now, the Pixel phones are the only devices with said hardware that also allow third party signing keys to lock the bootloader.

    i have so many email aliases holding up my accounts across the web i'm tired just thinking about the time it would take to go through them all. but i would love to be able to do this at some point.

    If you do, consider buying a domain und using something like mail@yourname.com. Most providers allow bringing your own domain and that makes it way easier to switch providers in the future.

    That completely defeats the purpose of aliasing though...

    That depends on why you do it I'd say. Is it obvious for a human (or an LLM I guess) whether two aliases belong to the same person? Sure. But you can still separate which service an email you received belongs to, ie who leaked your data, or got breached, who sends you spam, etc.

    not if you can use a catch-all for you domain. Then you can still do per-service aliases and filter them all accordingly.

    Yes but they all return to the same domain. Your domain. That you alone operate.

    If you have the privacy masking configured on your domain registrar then how would senders know who you are as the domain owner? What do you do for sites that reject emails from passmail.com (and other known email forwarding service domains)?

    They have their ways. And even if they didn't, they don't really need to, it's enough to profile you across sites.

    What do you do for sites that reject emails

    The only site I've run into that does that is GitHub. And what I do about it is to tell anybody who asks me to submit a bug report to GitHub to get fucked. I view that as malicious behavior.

    Tl;dr and what I unsubscribed over specifically: Proton CEO, Andy Yen, is fully engulfed by AI psychosis, obsessed with adding features and expanding Proton, unchecked by the governing board of directors, and calling his own engineers "losers" for suggesting testing AI-written code before shipping. Basically the same shit every other tech CEO was pulling a year ago before they realized there was no ROI or quality increse.

    Unlike other controversies (praising Trump appointments and cooperating with the FBI to unmask leftist protesters), I finally unsubbed bevause the product itself, and therefore my privacy, is being fundementally changed and at risk
