I had a feeling that that was the case . . .

Ok, this is as far as I got with the Buddhism lemmicon; I'll try to work more on him later.
I'd like it if his eyes were closed and he had droopy earlobes . . .
Oh boy, getting old here, let's see if I can remember.
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.
IIRC, this was because the user in question had set a recovery email for their account, which Proton either volunteered or was forced to give to the authorities. Definitely crappy behavior on Proton's part. Don't set a recovery email!
Do you need to go back? What exactly are you going back from? Is it not serving your needs? There are plenty of alternatives to Google services; I'd be happy to provide some suggestions, if you'd like, having been through this ever since The Snowden Affair.
AFAICT, it looks like all he's doing is praising Trump's pick for AG in the Antitrust division . . . although if you look over her Wikipedia page, you're right, it doesn't look all that encouraging.
Can someone on Mastodon ask the Proton CEO what it was exactly that she did that he likes so much? Anyone who can work at Fox for any length of time, frankly, is complete and utter shite.
EDIT: Also, just as a broken clock can be right twice a day, President 🍄 sank the Trans Pacific Partnership, which was the right thing to do, but for the wrong reason: mainly to get back at Obama for existing. So in the same way, I suppose it's possible that Slater did something good, but I'd sure like to know what it was.
I agree! I don't use Proton's VPN or their password manager for that reason. The equivalents I had in place already were fine and I didn't feel the need to switch over everything, just some things.
You could look at infomaniak, but I didn't have the best experience trying out (or even getting started with) their services. Finding a provider that has all of Proton's apps is going to be tough (or at least it was from me while I was looking to escape from Tuta). Good luck, tho.
Did he (the CEO) really need to do this? Orange 🍄 Guy's probably never even heard of Proton. The transition for me from Tuta to Proton was long and rough, so I'm not prepared to jump ship just yet and really hope I won't have to.
🤔 Black hole myth busted: they don't suck anything in
Many of us look at black holes as cosmic vacuum cleaners: sucking in everything in their vicinity. But it turns out they don't suck at all.
Can I make complimentary/free/no strings attached "lemmicons" to offer to lemmy.ml communities that don't already have them?
Guess the title says it all.
Victor Pelevin: The mysterious novelist who foresaw Putin’s Russia – and then came to symbolise its moral decay
Victor Pelevin made his name in 90s Russia with scathing satires of authoritarianism. But while his literary peers have faced censorship and fled the country, he still sells millions. Has he become a Kremlin apologist?
That reminds me, I think I remember reading on the FreeTube page that they recommended using a VPN with it (this was before the current issues with Mullvad); anyone know why? Are FreeTube users in any danger of being hunted down by Sundar Pichai & co.?
Much to reflect upon! Thanks to @[email protected] (you aren't by any chance serving on the Southern Sun at the moment, are you?) and @[email protected].
If ordinary Americans know one critic of the American Empire, it’s almost certainly Chomsky.
Yeah, same here! I have to turn off Mullvad when watching FreeTube which is definitely annoying.
Are there any working instances of Invidious left?
I really hope the answer is "yes," but gosh-darned if I can find one. The FreeTube app still works as long as my VPN is off, but as for Invidious . . . (also, sorry if this has already been covered earlier).
What did the philosopher Hegel (one of Marx's chief influences) mean exactly by "recognition?"

Trump can still vote after sentencing, but can’t own a gun and will have to turn over DNA sample
President-elect Donald Trump doesn’t have to go to jail, pay a fine or perform community service as a result of his New York hush money conviction.
I predict that the DNA sample will be orange in color.

Help! Pixel 5a5g with GrapheneOS—screen just went blank
Was doing multiple things at the time, so not sure about this—I think I restarted it but then it wouldn't start up again. Holding down the power button didn't help, nor did holding down the power button along with either the up or down volume for a few seconds. Plugging it in, it does make the "started charging" noise or whatever.
Would be much obliged for any suggestions on how to get this working again!
UPDATE: Well, and it just rang! Maybe the screen died . . . ?
UPDATE UPDATE: Well new friends, it looks like I'm now officially in the market for a new phone. Since I like GrapheneOS, I guess I need to buy another Pixel which hopefully won't crap out on me after 3 years like this one has just apparently done. But which Pixel should I get? As long as it's comparable in functionality to the 5a5g . . .
The writer spent his life cultivating beauty—on the page and in the mirror—only to end it with a samurai-style suicide. Both acts spoke to a long-standing obsession.
