We use #ProtonMail at home. We could add them to our family plan … but I worry their endless email attachments would bust our 6TB limit. And I’m not sure how it would solve the remote tech support problem.

Valide alternative a #gmail sono #protonmail e #infomaniak.
Al posto di #microsoft #office c’è #onlyoffice
Ci sono alternative per tutto, se le trovate, condividetele!
Siate Europei!
Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.
Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!
I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!
It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these big tech companies that profit from your doomscrolling and selling your data!
Thanks to all the folks on here, Reddit, and YouTube that have given insight, especially @techlore. Thank you!
Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices that harm developers and consumers
https://proton.me/blog/apple-lawsuit
I find this interesting:
"Proton itself has also been victim of Apple’s censorship. In 2020, Apple threatened to take Proton VPN out of the App Store unless we removed language from our App Store description that said the app could be used to “unblock censored websites.”

Was thinking of looking into Proton. But then remembered the owners pro MAGA talk. Don't want to change from a capitalist fascist supporting company to a smaller capitalist fascist supporting company. Or I'm I to harsh?

Proton Mail gets Newsletter view to manage all email subscriptions in one place:
https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-newsletters
(That's really cool. Now we can tell normies that Proton Mail has this feature and Gmail doesn't lol)
Proton Pass adds 14 new entry types, option to create custom types:
https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/6/proton-pass-goes-beyond-passwords-and-credit-cards-with-customizable-item-storage/
(Really tempting feature, but personally I would advise against storing every piece of sensitive data in one central database in the cloud. Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)
Firefox 140 ESR released with unload tab feature, support for adding custom search engines in Search settings, support for keeping more or fewer pinned vertical tabs in view, "Select All" option for bookmarks on Android:

Any recommendations for #privacy focused #email providers that will work with a local email client. I currently have #protonmail but I cannot install #protonbridge to use with my local email client. Any other recommendations?
if you have bluesky, please like and forward my post there https://bsky.app/profile/nastasime.bsky.social/post/3lsmpdruo522g
Also use #cancelproton to call out #protonmail for their shit
Wtf @protonprivacy ?? This is a fucking #GENOCIDE being commited by russian citizens, not just "a conflict in Ukraine"! And by failing to condemn it and calling it "a conflict" you are supporting it

Just 5 min ago I was a proud premium user... Now I'm finding even more dirt on them. Will share it after reading. But their CEO seems to support Trump and they got into trouble in India.
My complete setup is currently as follows:
Linux Mint and FreeBSD on all my computers and notebooks
Pixel 9 with Graphene OS (but will be replaced by a new Fairphone 6 with /e/OS from Murena in the future)
Connected via KDE Connect
Office with LibreOffice
My own Nextcloud for files, photos, calendar and contacts
Hardened Firefox with uBlock Origin
Freetube and Newpipe instead of YouTube
Ecosia search instead of Google
Proton Mail and Tutanota Mail
Simple fitness tracker with watch, Pedometer, sleep tracker and calorie counter without Bluetooth and app connection instead of spying smartwatch and "health apps" such as Fitbit, Apple or Samsung Health
Manual recording of my health data such as blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, steps and more in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet, can be easily converted into a PDF for my doctors to evaluate
Am I missing anything? Absolutely not! This setup works just as smoothly and conveniently as previous ecosystem solutions from Apple, Google or Samsung. Only with significantly more privacy, without tracking and surveillance by US Big Tech
Proton Mail launches “Newsletters” view — a built-in tool to manage email subscriptions without giving up privacy.
No third-party access, no tracking, no ads. Just a cleaner inbox, on your terms. A welcome upgrade from one of the most privacy-respecting email providers.
Neues Proton-Mail-Dashboard: Nie mehr im Newsletter-Dschungel verirren
De fem stora IT-företagen är Alphabet (Chrome, Google, Google Mail, Youtube)), Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Amazon (VPN, fillagring, Goodreads) , Microsoft (Teams, Edge, Office) och Apple. Det är ganska lätt att lämna många av deras tjänster.

@cbr Ich wohne auch im Kreis #Steinfurt (#Ladbergen). Ist die Initiative in Eurem DRK-OV allein durch Dich getrieben, oder gibt es im Kreis vielleicht irgendwo eine Bubble, vielleicht sogar als Verein organisiert, die sich um #DigitaleSouveränität und #DigitaleMündigkeit kümmert? Ich bin hier allein auf weiter Flur. #Mastodon, #Signal, #Threema, bezahlter Cloudspeicher, #Fediverse, #Protonmail etc. sind hier Fremdwörter, #GAGAF rules. :-(

Has anyone else had their #ProtonMail emails marked as spam?
This is two people now that have told me that my email has been flagged as spam risk.

People were like -- Nah man, it is only Proton Wallet.
Not anymore, it's not. Proton is under Us Jurisdiction.
