On a side note, he’s smart for letting a lot of people back out of Proton services. The VPN speeds are better now.😆
Canceled mine. Only did it for a month when Mulvad had their shit exposed. Lord. I feel for those who have to fully migrate.
Slagging off his employees, slagging off his customers. Real bright spark this guy.
Yeah, I canceled my sub. I have no idea if the CEO of my new email provider is any better, but I know that Yen is abusive to his employees, and that matters to me. I know he’s deep in the throes of AI psychosis, and that makes me not trust him at all. I’m gone.
Posteo mail, excellwnt provider, good ethics https://posteo.de/en
I’m so glad I delayed switching over to proton.
Also fuck that guy. What an ass.
After an employee suggested taking at least a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live, Yen reportedly responded by calling the idea “bullshit and loser thinking,” saying it is possible to both be fast and secure.
This guy might just be hamming it up to fluff up his resume for Grok AI or something
I feel like a good rule of thumb for Andy to say something, seemingly publicly or privately, is to just take a breath and then shut the fuck up instead. It seems like nothing he ever says brings comfort and confidence to his company’s users.
The original 404 Media article.
404 Media is a great publication with a strong track record. They are worth paying for.
So true, they’ve really been rapidly climbing kn my books over the last year especially. One of my favorite news sources rn. Would love recommendations for ones of similar quality outside tech, for any topics
When someone shows you who they really are, believe them the first time. And sadly, this is who Proton is right now, this guy. And this is who the Proton board is, people who support this guy and his vision.
This is proton. Shop accordingly.
What other email service is free and not a pos? Does one exist? Gotta pay to play I gues…
No free service is good if you care about privacy.
Well unless i self host but im not doing that for email, no smarty enough
Many smarty enough people still find hosting service worth paying for.
If you grab a cheap domain, many domain registrars throw email hosting in for cheap or free.
What exactly does that mean, just buying a domain name also gets you email ? And I can just use it through Thunderbird ?
When paying for a hosting it could include email service, but I’ve never used it. Probably better setting up your own email server or similar.
Too late Andy. You are not going to be part of the tech overlord aristocracy, no matter how much you simp now.
Maybe it’s a good thing for you. May avoid the french doctor’s invention that way.
Some people should just never hold any sort of power. Most people shouldn’t, but some motherfuckers in particular.
Bon jour Mailo…
The Suisse should boot Yen out of their country.
This guy sounds like a Mini Musk and I hate Musk.
I put it off
