I have bad news for you... they recommended brave browser and made a blog post about gnoopix ( a distro that proudly integrate Grok )

I mean tbf they have Brave as their 9th suggestion (out of 10). I would prefer that they just didn't have it but yeah.

They've also removed the Gnoppix stuff, which is a bit weird. But mega ick either way.

A bit of a shame since I bought a year sub after switching away from Proton last year due to the ceo mask slipping

I like how they recommend Zen in their Firefox forks list despite the creator/main contributor seemingly having little understanding of security. The UI is nice though I guess.

Maybe I'll just use mailbox.org or encrypt my emails with addy.io at this point :|

Mailbox.org is rock solid. A bit clunky at times,but really solid.

Selfhosting for you and a few other people is the way of the future, for everything.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

It's very much not. There are plenty of people who do not only not have the knowledge (and the time, interest or even ability to learn) to self-host anything, but who also don't know anyone who does. That's probably a majority of people, actually. We need privacy-respecting, open alternatives that function as drop-in replacements and that are just as intuitive and easy to use as corporate offerings. Otherwise the future is corporate shit.

So you mean like lemmy... where a lot of people selfhost instances for themselves and a few to many other people?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I'd argue that Lemmy and the wider fediverse aren't simple and effortless enough as they are right now. There's a reason that Bluesky took off when Mastodon didn't.

Millions in marketing?

Is Posteo still good?

Been using it for 2 year now. At least they allow third party email clients and the service is cheap (1€/month)
