My setup on GrapheneOS with all the exploit protections on except some off for apps with compatibility issues. Thoughts?

Only one: ditch that crap named Proton.

Bring the downvotes bots 🤣

I mean isn’t proton recommended on privacy guides? Do you think they need to update it?

Privacy guides recommends Brave. I’ve said enough.

What’s wrong with brave? I didn’t like the crypto feature but I got the impression that it’s a good privacy browser for people that need syncing

Do your own research, this is the most useful thing I can tell you and it applies to anything.

Yes that is correct, I just wanted to hear what people on Lemmy have to say

Brave, like Proton, has a lot of fanboys (assuming they aren’t bots) that blatantly ignore key informations about the companies of said products.

In this kind of scenario resorting to your own independent search is the only thing you can do.

Is the controversy about the VPN?

Nah the controversy was with some executive at the company thanking trump for some stuff

Uhhh why?

Goldfish memory? It was one of the biggest things on lemmy

Proton ceo not politically neutral as he advertised

And they recently were caught in the “accidental” suspension of the accounts of two journalists.

There has been enough information released to essentially debunk the connotation you are implying.

Did the CEO tweet in support to Trump administration? Yes he did!

Did two journalists have their accounts suspended after external pressure? Yes they did!

Debunk this, fanboy!

As I have said already to another of yours, time will tell if I was too cautious or you were a fool.

I didn’t say anything about the Trump tweet. I only mentioned the journalist comment, which there is more information an nuance to it than you allow for.

But you assume because I say one thing I must be your enemy. You call me names. You refer to me as a group instead of a person.

So clearly you are an island to yourself. I hope your relationships in real life are far more fruitful.

It would have been helpful to explain why, whether that’s privacy, ethical, or political concerns.

But maybe the use of “🤣” says it all

Yep, says it all about you fanboys 🤣

Ceo of Proton is a huge Republican fan, that might deter some people. Are you not interested in this?

https://lemmy.world/post/24301835

Not this shit again.

What you mean? You do realise most of us degoogle to get away from American grasp on technology, what’s the purpose of switching to Proton if there’s services even more independent?

The problem is I have been using proton for years and I have 385 entries so switching to say Tuta would be a drag (unless there is an option to migrate, I haven’t checked) Proton IIRC is also the cheaper of the two. Or would you say I should suck it up and make the switch?

After thinking some more this mindset is not good at all. If everyone becomes complacent due to habit and convenience that would be bad

I’m not sure, does managing two email accounts would be difficult for you? It wouldn’t be too bad having one extra, having some accounts on a different mail might work for you, if one gets hacked you don’t lose access to everything right away. Also you don’t have to migrate all the entries right away, you can always just make new accounts on a new email provider, and if you do use password expiry in your pw manager you can migrate emails right then

I mean I can do it like I did with Gmail, just forward all the mails and slowly migrate everything

I would be in the loop, but not necessarily OP. I am calling out OC to defend their suggestion with more than a simple accusation.

@ZinQ@lemmy.ml

As a looped in person. Do you think I should stick to Proton for less hassle (migration) or is moving to Tuta for example the right move currently?

monovergent

My take is that Proton CEO Andy Yen’s pro-Trump comments were born out of naïvety, not the same mindset that plagues tech CEOs in the US. Combining that with Proton’s benign actions since then, I think it’s a good time to diversify, become familiar with alternatives like Tuta as you say, and make a backup plan should they enshittify, but don’t rush to jump ship now.

You are indeed correct, I’m not the type currently to stay up to date on news

And calling “bot” anyone who disagrees. Peak Reddit behaviour.

“Childish behavior” is calling out a “privacy” company that does questionable stuff.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

Don’t cry bro, I only told you to ditch an untrustable company which at first supported Trump and then was called out for silencing journalists.

I am 100% going to make it unpleasant for all who still use it, especially if they seem to care about privacy.

Can you elaborate? From what I understand GOS does a good job at isolation. But I might just create a separate proprietary profile

I meant that this is the Achilles heels. A lot of us have it. It has the meta AI on it that we can’t deactivated. It is EEE and GOS does a good job isolating it but still a non privacy app.
