So here’s the thing. My entire life is on Proton: email, calendar, documents, VPN, all my passwords, all my ID, all my important data.
My annual subscription is up at the end of January.
If they don’t oust Andy Yen by then, I’m out. The question is where?
Infomaniak seems to offer most of what Proton does but they also use AI.
What other options are there? I’m seeing people suggesting email alternatives. But I need a whole lot more than that.
I've used Bitwarden for password management for years and really like it. The family share option is super helpful with my kids (while they were teens and now as adults).
My subscription is up in March. I too hope @protonprivacy removes Yen from all parts of the organization (company and board). I'm not one to put convenience before principles. I dropped FB/IG/Whatsapp and then Twitter many years ago and haven't been tempted back since.
Tech folks who made #proton what it is today, we're resilient and determined to an inordinate degree.

FYI, earlier this year they hired an acquisitions specialist CEO, raised prices. About two weeks ago they announced going forward the client code is commercial (no longer open source) licensed.
I recommend putting Bitwarden on your shortlist, the enshittification has already landed.

I did "all this" (what shouty is doing) to get away from Google around 2018 and made sure to spread it all out. This way I could tackle each enshittification on it's own instead of a group like this thread.
...and it's proven valuable, I've had to shuffle things around providers as some of my choices turned to crap. I'm really pulling for Fastmail though, they blog a good game and have been real clear on their commitments to users.
@nokke @CampbellTaraL @clacksee fuck, I just moved to Bitwarden earlier this year. Do you ever feel like you’re trying to run away from a forest fire avoiding shit tech companies?
@lerxst
Also bitwarden is actively using LLMs for development of their products.
