@drsbaitso @alice @slothrop @fastmail @Tutanota did you cancel before the billing cycle expired? If so, did they do a partial refund? I still have 1.5 years paid for.

@slothrop @thelinuxEXP looks like Proton is up to its usual garbage again -
@slothrop Proton is not sponsoring this Vincent. They have a program that if you bring a new client you get a small amount. https://proton.me/partners
And the personal page this Vincent is referring to has been taken down. Check yourself https://proton.me/VincentLapierre
-
@slothrop Anyone can sign up to be an affiliate as part of their partners program. Seems more plausible than a swiss email company taking the time to sponsor a far right youtuber? https://proton.me/partners/affiliates
We are resellers. They don’t make it easy to find the Workspace link, but you can do it this way.
Go here. https://go.getproton.me/aff_c?offer_id=50&aff_id=5239
That will take to a deal for Proton VPN.
On that page, scroll down to the section called “Choose a plan and protect your business.”
Click the option on the right for Workspace Standard. It will show the discounted rate of $12.99.They apologized to us — this deal is so new that the links aren’t totally set up yet.

What are you talking about? His social media handle is andyyyen. Why is everyone on this thread spreading fake news? Do better.

@Infoseepage @slothrop
To be fair I looked the guy up and he was born in 1988. I'm quite sure that there is no intended connection to the nazi meaning. -
@gotofritz @slothrop If that's the case, that's up to Proton to clarify. Because right now it's presented as a sponsor: the video has a sponsor segment, and Lapierre even thanks Proton for sponsoring him.
If he's lying, then Proton should state that he lied.
+ him "just using an affiliate link" would still mean that Proton is okay with a fascist influencer bringing them money and customers. -

@slothrop @blast_info à changer là
https://www.blast-info.fr/contact Merci d'avance -
we also used to like #twitter
the unfortunate truth is plutocrats can destroy any company by buying it out
the only solution is to side eye any for profit business venture. it can be bought out, and once bought out, it can be gutted of its original purpose
of course there's also the phenomenon of the #techbro founding a company and winning adulation and *then* we find out about their true sentiments
(hello, #bluesky )

@Brett_E_Carlock @slothrop @Tutanota @drsbaitso @StrangeNoises @alice @fastmail I’ve created a mailbox.org account early last month (shortly before google went all google) and am slowly moving things over there. Haven’t encountered any evil yet. Only hiccups were that some things weren’t properly localized, like one confirmation link mail was in German, that was pretty self explanatory tho
@SpuCodes @Brett_E_Carlock @slothrop @Tutanota @drsbaitso @StrangeNoises @alice @fastmail I've been using mailbox for over a year. Works great for me, but I literally just use it for mail.

@slothrop God damn. I'm part of a "family", and I think we've got 8 months to go on our plan. Migration was one thing, getting people to acclimate to my new address was another. I dread repeating the second part, not the least because whomever I go to is pretty much destined to repeat this BS in about 18 months.
I had an email with my own domain before, and I couldn't get through to the majority of people on gmail. So much fun.
Can people just contact me on Signal going forward? And text me?
