      i trust them more than google. they’ve been a little sketchy lately (bc of the ai stuff, not the ceos political stuff) but at least only one entity has my data this way. I’d rather self-host but i can’t rn.

        they’ve been known to collaborate with governments and have been accused of forcing traffic through an Israeli contractor. i can’t trust them.

    No matter who someone is, don’t give them all of your personal property.

    I use Protonmail from Proton. That’s it.

        I only use one subscription service in my life and it’s email from proton. I once knew a sysadmin who said that self-hosting email is a full-time job. So I just pay for my email with a reputable company and have my own domain name attached. His comment scared me off for good. But other people have said it’s not that hard. Please write me your experience , ok?

        I spent a couple hours setting up my accounts and keys and syncing them across devices so that I could access my secure email from any of them, importing them into K9 and thunderbird and publishing my public keys to a keyserver. Once I verified it was all working I realised that no one else I know uses PGP with email and it was a giant waste of time

    For a moment I wasn’t sure which one of the two would be better. After careful consideration I decided both are noobs, because real pros only use emacs rigged to behave as the whole OS on an airgapped 15 year old thinkpad for anything that needs a computer, but most likely keep that in a vault too and only get it when absolutely necessary.

    One day account with only one post, from someone who probably never hosted mails 😂

    Real privacy starts when you check app permissions and stop giving flashlight apps your location.

    Transcription

    The ‘500 Days of Summer “Have You Ever Heard Of”’ meme template, showing two images of a man talking to a woman in a record store.

    The first has the man saying “I love privacy” and the woman replying “Me too”.

    The second shows 7 purple-coloured app logos above the man. Many in generic shapes, but one shows a lock keyway, and one shows a cat with a golden bell collar. Above the woman is the Google Chrome logo and a screenshot saying “You’ve gone Incognito”.

    The joke is on you here. Proton is a locked-in CIA honeypot and everybody knows it.
