Personally I’ve been using Tutanota and bitwarden happily. I guess it kinda depends on what you’re looking for alternatives to, I don’t know if anyone else offers as comprehensive of a complete suite of stuff
Ah, gotcha. Yeah I can’t say that really bothers me too much… 😅
I’m not sure there are really any big names in that space that don’t suck anyway. Like the other two I’m familiar with are google and Amazon, and they’re hardly saints.
A “roll your own” solution with keepass and something to sync might sidestep that problem but is hardly a drop in replacement that appeals to all the same users
Those recommendations would probably be more useful to the person who was asking for recs, though it’s worth pointing out your solutions to certain things aren’t really 1 to 1 alternatives and may not be suitable for someone who’s looking for services akin to proton
“Betrayal” might be a wrong word for it, but I find this disappointing because the current events are the reason I have tried using Proton instead of Gmail. A tweet wont ruin the functionality of Proton, but it goes against my personal rationale for making the switch.
Many feel betrayed because he (partially at least) politically aligns with someone (and something) they loathe intensely. The feeling of betrayal probably comes from an implied idea that because they align on the issue of digital privacy they naturally do so in other aspects, and with the comments made by the CEO that idea is burst and someone who once felt familiar is now foreign.
He doesn’t have to be incorrect in order for people to feel betrayed by his comments. The commenter was answering the question of why people felt betrayed. Demonstrating the incorrectness of the CEO’s take is out of scope.
(Although, he definitely is also incorrect. Republicans love corporations and monopolies even more than Democrats do. They’re slightly more nationalistic about it though, which is the only reason they ever make noises to oppose corporations that aren’t sufficiently US-owned.)
The comment from anonymous implied that there was no real betrayal. Just because someone fights for digital privacy does not mean he’s on the same side for other topics. Feeling betrayed and actually being betrayed are not the same thing.
Please summarize in what way he betrayed anyone?
Because I see nothing in that article.
People and businesses are allowed to have political opinions. I can disagree with them (or not) while still respecting the service they provide.
People feel betrayed that he kissed Trump’s ring, so to speak. But that’s CEOs for you. The bourgeoisie have class solidarity.
I didn’t realize that. What’re the best Proton alternatives?

+1 for tuta and bitwarden.
I won’t touch anything microsoft with a long pole, so no bitwarden
Just use KeePassXc/Dx as you were meant to
Bitwarden is associated with Microsoft…?
Edit: I wasn’t able to find anything suggesting they’re connected, I’d love to know what you mean… I don’t keep up with stuff super closely
At most I think it’s hosted on azure. That’s it.

Locked with your master key so… no biggie? Or did i miss anything?
Source?
Did you misread Bitlocker? Or was Bitwarden bought my Microsoft? If the latter, i can’t find a source.
Convenience shouldn’t be prioritized over distribution of services one uses. Single point of failure and all that jazz.

Trump isn’t the politician I most loathe. He’s just the only politician that I’ve ever feared might kill or imprison me purely for who I am.
From a previous reply that I made :

@anonymous comment still stands. Your previous comment doesn’t indicate how he is incorrect, if that is what you’re suggesting.
He doesn’t have to be incorrect in order for people to feel betrayed by his comments. The commenter was answering the question of why people felt betrayed. Demonstrating the incorrectness of the CEO’s take is out of scope.

I think the “he” there was @anonymous@lemm.ee, not the CEO of Proton.

You are correct about that, thank you for clarifying
