Flexibility and diversification is annoying to manage but tends to be the best situation over all.

Proton does things right generally speaking, it’s just ran by an absolute idiot.

So you also have to weigh are your morals and expectations here reasonable to your own acceptance level. Vs your own requirements of the service at hand.

There are plenty of reasons to need a VPN that the extra security and privacy guarantee are beyond worthless. And in those cases staying in proton doesn’t make since if your morals go against the company.

While if you absolutely need that privacy and guarantee switching is a very real risk.

Plenty of people like having privacy but for some it’s actively a life or death situation. So you have to make that call. Where do you sit on that spectrum, and are your morals important enough to take the risk if your on the extreme end?

For most people who aren’t, switching is just a formality and technical consideration.

Your not entirely wrong. It’s mostly the fact, that even with e2e your still relying on their word that they aren’t doing something shady or do something stupid. There’s no external force keeping them honest.

One is none two is one. Someone’s word is good but someone’s word, and another keeping them honest is better.

If your going to trust someone else it’s better some form of equality in the deal. As a consumer to a corp that’s basically impossible with out a legal enforcement layer.

Calling anything chromium base a fork feels disingenuous. It’s a little more than a skin and a built-in add-ons suite.

Always have. Did you know blatantly lying to idiots will get those idiots to repeat those lies? It’s true!

I have come to the general understanding that unless you have a million dollars on the line and a million more dollars to give to one person to manage it.

Just use app armor

Over the last year I have done this entire. Went from app armor to SEL and now I’m back on app armor.

You couldn’t pay me enough to try SEL again.

It assumes the user is an idiot. And it assumes the user should not own their own device.

That is the core tenant of how it works.

Aka deny all base line.

No, this is the frediverse if the word ai comes up there is no nuance. Only hate.

This is exactly the sort of thing why im baffled that people are leaving for companies in countries with either little or literally no data privacy laws.

Sure andy is a dipshit. But at least he doesn’t get a god damn say over how some things are done. Because the law sits out side his control.

Its an explicitly worse alternative what are you on about. Its in a eyes country. Its literally an explicit step down on every level.

The moment tuta goes to shit there is nothing stepping them from going all the way. At least with proton the legal requirements of the country they are in means that no matter what stupid shit the dickhead at the top does. They are REQUIRED to adhere to a minimum standard.

Tuta has NO legal requirement to do that.

If you remotely care about privacy and enforcement of the standard of care around it. Tuta is like one of the stupidest places you can go.

Problem is that any vpn not in switzerland is basically an explict step down. Trusting a company that is in a country that has no enforcement means your trusting the company it self entirely to stay honest. At least with proton, no matter what the idiots at the top want. They still have to comply with their local laws.

That alone keeps proton above airVPN if your using a VPN for privacy reasons. It always will, no matter what. The entire country would have to change its laws for that to change.

Now if your just using a VPN for routing purposes or something that security is not a high piro. Then air VPN is fantastic.

Internet journalism is about as yellow as classic journalism ever was. Its always been “click bait” always will be. lol

Gotta always take everything with a grain of salt and assume things are misrepresented either on accident or on purpose. Its a PITA but it is what it is.

Honestly if your using tuta tho its no different then proton. Both are crap for different reasons. One has crap privacy enforcement and the other is ran by a dick head.

Seriously it baffles me that anyone thinks a german company is remotely trust worthy for security. Its a fucking joke. Any country that has a deal with five eyes should just be assumed its compromised up front. If theres no out side enforcement of security then any promise of it from the inside is worthless.

E2E encryption doesn’t matter when you can’t trust the actual host in the first place.

Legitly the only way i would ever dare to even attempt self hosting email again is in 20 years when ai can do it entirely for me using the power of a single AA battery. No sane person self hosts email!

Could be worse, your servers could be ran by the same dipshit that runs mine! I swear nothing ever gets fixed on time!

I would actively commit crimes against humanity to have a frys near me again.

At least according to my mother she rather give birth to me and my brother twice over before she passes a single kidney stone again.

So I assume it’s going to vary WILDLY based on how difficult the birth is.

The tech it self is “fine” it’s just any use of it that is basically always going to be a problem.

You can’t make things proactively illegal because it could be used for illegal shit. Unless it can ONLY be used for illegal shit. And even then it’s iffy.

Else you end up killing progress. It’s stupid, but there’s not a great solution.

I guess thats a better way to put it. I could do it. But i can’t afford to, and don’t have the time or will to do it in a manner that would create more work for myself. Not to mention the risk of some uptight corpo lobbying to ruin everything if enough of us do it.

Voice to text auto censors words and im too lazy to fix it? Shit, fuck, piss, cunt, bitch, slut, retard, asshole.

That help? I can start slinging harder slurs along with it if you really are that upset. Like its just words. The only this that matters is you know what im saying. If i start mixing up every letter and fucking grammer, randomly adding censors none of it actually matters so long as its understandable.
