  • Frustrated with Proton Email

  • Being lazy and reposting an earlier comment of mine:

    I think in part it was because they seemed unable to fix the Linux desktop client after months and months and months, and repeated support requests. Also, I had been a user of theirs for some time when they changed how their plans worked, and moved a feature I relied heavily upon (I think it was email templates—something you might never need!) to a much more expensive plan. Felt like I was being charged more for being a longtime user. I don’t know if they have cloud storage now, but at the time they didn’t, and Proton had that, along of course with mail and calendar—all of that for less than what Tuta was offering which was mail, calendar, and plenty of other features that were continuously promised but never released. So really just a bunch of little things that were important to me, but which other users might never miss.

  • Frustrated with Proton Email

    Jump

  • I'm a former Tuta user; JOOC, what issues are you having with them?

  • Those of you who complain about it on every post might be interested to know they're (slowly) moving towards a Proton Drive app for Linux

    Jump

  • That's nice, but got tired of waiting and am now a happy Filen customer.

  • Frustrated with Proton Email

    Jump

  • Proton could fix their half-baked services if they stopped introducing new products for a while.

    Yes. They need to stop introducing new products that people don't want and focus instead on the fundamentals, like (well, at least for the Linux desktop, don't know about the other platforms) having contact photos that display, having the ability to sort contacts alphabetically by last name, even just being able to minimize the left-hand toolbar would be nice so I can see more of the message pane, but no. Honestly kind of waiting to see how Thundermail will turn out at this point. Proton is ok, but not great in my estimation.

  • ‘I got older and became a communist’: Deleted posts show Maine Senate hopeful’s raw views on politics, war, and police

    Jump

  • Too much info for plausible deniability then, I guess. Worried that he's going to be another Fetterman.

  • Anyone who's interested in what life on one (or more!) of our two gas giants' ice moons might be like should take a look at 2010 and 2061 by Arthur C. Clarke (oh, and avoid 3001 at all costs!).

  • The Vindication of László Krasznahorkai

    Jump

  • Do you have a favorite work of his? I'm getting ready to start The Melancholy of Resistance (one can always prepare for the long sentences and lack of paragraph breaks by reading anything by Thomas Bernhard 📚🙂).

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • Since Mrs. Erinaceus is considering switching, I was going to try and steer her towards Mint, but since she's a gamer and I'm not (I know, boring) perhaps this would not be the best choice? Please tell me more.

    Do you believe in Supernatural things?

    Jump

  • Now that almost everyone on planet earth has a small camera with them at all times, it would have been really cool to have discovered some supernatural stuff, be it ghosts, Big Foot, Nessie, whatever (and someone still might, who knows?), but instead all we get is police brutality. 🙁
