WTF is proton doing? There's still open issues with their basic products?
Got to get on the slop train before it crashes
Instead of two steps forward two steps back. Proton likes to take one step forward, punch it self in the face. Then roll a d20 on what to do next.
Proton is company-personified of the engineer who loves working on new features, but hates fixing bugs. That's how you get insane tech debt and unhappy customers.
I cancelled my years old account a few days ago when I started to receive the damned "try our Xyz" popup bullshit on their website.
The bugs that are never fixed, the "new products" coming in no one asked, and not having a proper Linux support for the drive...
Can we talk about the marvelous idea that is the bridge? Gotta reinstall the certificate once a month or so.
I had enough of a subpar email service. If I want encrypted email, I'll do it myself thank you.
Did you end up setting up encrypted email? I briefly looked into that but was talked out of it for various reasons (other email providers not trusting yours, security, uptime, etc.)
I do have Proton, but I'm heavily considering other options.
I'm still waiting for SimpleLogin to release the credit card # privacy product they were planning at the time Proton bought them, years ago.
I'd rather they just say they cancelled it if they did. Aside from their sporadic focus, the lack of transparency in their progress is killing me here.
