I’m really pleased with proton’s service. This is, however, very troubling.

I used to be curious about switching to proton

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 4 points 41 minutes ago

I was literally about to do it when that one Proton exec started sucking off Trump on Twitter, and then I changed my mind.

The more proton news i read, the less I want to renew my subscription when it expires.

Typical Proton L

Any proton alternatives that are in EU and at least are not under the jurisdiction of 5 eyes?

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

Nord are based in Lithuania. Not sure if they have a shell company elsewhere (like most VPNs do).

There are some Icelandic ones too but I can't remember the names off the top of my head.

they'll survive because they're not beholdent to shareholders.

Speaking of alternatives to Proton, i mostly read tuta. Why do people not mention posteo? is there a reason that I am not aware of?

[–] bootstrap@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 minutes ago

+1 for Posteo

because they're a paid service.

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago

Love Posteo. Been with them for years.

Afaik, content on archive.is/today has a history of being manipulated and it‘s generally recommended to avoid it.

Mind linking an article? those are big accusations

[–] postman@literature.cafe 1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Yeah, that would be major news.

Found something, definitely bad and worth skipping for archival reasons if true:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Archive.is_RFC_5

In the case of paywall or annoyance bypass like above though I'm unsure of an alternative service to use.

[–] postman@literature.cafe 3 points 1 hour ago

Well that's disappointing.

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 51 minutes ago

It was major news, but most people don't give a shit.
