If you’re still using Proton 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?

@mzungu @nileane @slothrop After a lot of evaluation I ended up picking hover.com. Apart from anything else, they aren't involved with cryptocurrency.

@slothrop Cool, I'll still use it no matter the internet rage about it

@slothrop@chaos.social Tuta is pretty good.

@woozle @benroyce @draNgNon @alice @slothrop Teaching people to #selfhost is a great good you can do for the world. I teach people to do it 1:1 but I'm thinking I should put up resources so that folks can learn without direct, live instruction. (It'd probably be a good group project.)

@slothrop
Damn it!

[shadowfals@toot.cat]

@mzungu @nileane @slothrop could be.

@slothrop oh dear. Not using their service, but that shines a light of their other channels too @gazebo_c

@uriel @internic @slothrop See the "Collaboration commerciale" text in the corner of the screenshot? That's what French YouTubers are legally required to put to indicate that this is a sponsored segment. Most definitely not an algorithmic ad.

@nileane @gotofritz @slothrop you'd have to ask proton to clarify. As far as I can tell, the affiliate link doesn't work, so perhaps someone else has

[verboese@nrw.social]

@slothrop and it’s not just mail. The Proton group has several other apps, e. g. Lumo, a european AI which I preferred - up to now. I think I have to think about another alternative here, too

[gatogatogato@ohai.social]

@Infoseepage @gotofritz @slothrop Never heard of that story nor of Andy Yen. Sounds highly terrifying. I just finished migrating all mail related stuff away from Gmail to Proton. Sucks to start over again.

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@yaxu @nileane @gotofritz @slothrop so this could be done to smear Proton? Has anyone contacted them?

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@yaxu @nileane @gotofritz @slothrop

also, tclarify, did you find a link to thos video in any of the Proton products?

I'm asking mostly becuase just yesterday a friend was talking me about Proton, and it sounded good emough to jump over.

[aaron@social.tromdienste.de]

@roboro @slothrop sad to hear this...
#tutamail seems to be the option to go with.
I use their service and follow their blog for some years now and they stick to their core values and I appreciate their work a lot!
Well done @Tutanota - I recommend your work and blog to many people

What do you think of Vincent Lapierre and did you really initiate the sponsorship of his videos yourselves? How do you reconcile fascism with data protection?

#antifascism

[nileane@nileane.fr]

@yaxu @gotofritz @slothrop

First, I don't have to ask Proton anything. I'm not a customer, and I have shared factual info on here because I thought people who are customers should know. And the facts remain: Vincent Lapierre is a fascist YouTuber, his latest video features a full-on Proton Mail sponsorship segment, with the sponsorship label overlayed in the top left corner as required by law ("collaboration commerciale"), and with a paragraph in the video description featuring a custom Proton link to his name. If this is not an actual sponsorship, then Lapierre will surely have gone a long way to make it seem like one.

Second, the link works for me. I'm wondering whether it's only active if you're visiting from a French IP or something. In any case, stop insinuating I'm a liar just because that link isn't working for you.

[yaxu@post.lurk.org]

@nileane @gotofritz @slothrop sorry, I didn't watch the video and didn't realise there was a whole segment. I was expecting the link to show a discount rather than redirect to a generic page but looks like I am mistaken on that too. Thanks for clarifying, looking forward to proton responding to this
