The CEO of Proton is pro-Trump.

This doesn’t change the CEO using an official proton account to praise trump and call him the GOP the party of the little guy. I don’t care about their real ideological opinion, but rather whether they’re going to gargle fascist balls and betray privacy. Trust is a fragile thing
Edit:a word
Seeing Proton on the list so many times got me thinking. We let Google take over all of our services, and then they got worse and worse. Is there some system in place to stop Proton enshittifying once they’ve taken over the internet? Especially in light of the CEO apparently being an asswad.
fuck
lol who give a shit? Stop bringing politics into everything
For the love of all gods, stop recommending Proton, it’s run by a fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards even more than Silicon Valley tech-bros. You might as well use American companies at that point.
These lists are consistently bad. To the extent I’m beginning to think it’s intentional so people don’t like the alternatives and go back to the worst.
Make a better one
Thats actually good idea, might do
Better yet, make an app
Lol, I barely know how to design a post, let alone an app😆
Same! Come on computer geniuses, make us poor plebs an app, please and thank you.
It does feel daunting to start, but the community is there to help 😊
It took me a while to understand why some apps/services had a + on top
That’s how i came and register from reddit just like 5 mins ago and this is my first ever comment.
SAME ! ～(つˆ0ˆ)つ｡☆
There’s also Norwegian Jotta Cloud for cloud drive.
There is also Aptoide to replace Google’s Play Store
AFAIK HERE WeGo is an European maps app too.
These sharepics are simply not exhaustive. Having example alternatives and then pointing to one of three comparison websites, might be a better approach. But this would also be more convoluted.
+1, great alternative to gmaps, including traffic and public transport
That doesn’t use osm. Imo, it is just not as good
OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation
Wtf don’t recommend BeReal! They’ve been bought by Voodoo, a shady company trying everything they can to bypass Android/iOS privacy protection
TIL that Bitwarden is an US company. I love the product but thats a risk
It’s also self-hostable and FOSS.
Is there a concern there is going to be a tech trade war?
at least you can self-host
Switched to proton pass free from paid bitwarden and gotta say, its just better on so many fronts.
Same
I pay for SimpleLogin and as a result get Proton Pass. I began moving to it from Bitwarden but aborted when I saw it can’t manage app passwords. Basically on Android (maybe iOS too) I can sign into apps using Bitwarden.
Proton can log in to android apps? I’ve got it set as my password manager and it works just like bitwarden. Only reddit hasn’t worked for some reason.
Really? I’ll try again but when I imported from Bitwarden it stripped out all app related content.
My export/import had all data except my identities and cards. So perhaps check how your exporting/importing? I did not use automated ways I just did it manually by exporting and importing a file
Just reporting back to say that yes indeed Proton Pass can fill app credentials in too. I have no idea why it didn’t work when I tried it last month. I was trying it out as my Bitwarden subscription was due for renewal and I was seeing if it was worth migrating to Proton Pass. Sadly my renewal has come and gone now so will now be something I need to revisit next year.
Anyway, thank you for confirming that I was indeed incorrect.
What’s the risk? That they would shut down operations randomly in the EU?
That they are forced to implement a backdoor for US authorities.
I can vouch for the Kdrive/Kmail from infomaniak. Great service for the price, the switch was almost seamless (with gmail forwarding to my @ik.me mail)
Why does everyone recommend Vivaldi and opera is left out? Genuinely asking 🙏
As of the end of 2023, Opera Software was 72.4% owned by Kunlun, a Chinese public company, making it a subsidiary of that company. Opera CEO Zhou Yahui is a controlling shareholder in Kunlun.

I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?
It’s still federated so I guess it doesn’t really matter much, but still…
The two main Lemmy devs are European. One of the feddit.uk Admins is also now part of the team.
They get funds from the EU, so I don’t think it’s a US organization
