Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

    Ffs. I just switched a ton of stuff over to proton. Hopefully this is an individuals view and not that of the company as a whole.

        It was intended to kind of be my new primary universe for personal communications, leaving behind Google for work/biz.

        But… maybe the water is warmer at Tutanota?

          I was considering tutanota but it felt too small and lacking some features that proton seemed better for. I may look at it again.

          I cannot move from simple login though. I bought a lifetime plan which also includes proton pass and i use simple login extensively now.

          I do use a custom domain but not for most things which i use simple login domains. My custom domain uses my full name and i dont want that associated with some random newsletter or game company etc. But important services are on my custom domain so not the end of the world and can change them all. I dont know who could replace simple login though.

    Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I’m just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.

        It’s so all over the map, what does or doesn’t count as toughness. That criteria rewrites itself in real time like the plot of a dream.

        Avoiding or ignoring questions I would have thought is weakness. Letting covid sweep the country. Falling behind China and India with a weaker labor force. Being ready to surrender to Russia. Being unable to confront the truth that you lost an election.

        Any number of mixed and matched definitions could include or exclude those from operative definitions of toughness/weakness without any more or less rhyme or reason.

    It’s almost understandable to bend the knee in the hopes of avoiding the coming purges, but this goes well beyond just seeking corporate survival. Genuinely disgusting. It looks like the way forward for Proton will be lit by the bridges they’re burning.
