That’s not even a discussion if it was or wasn’t update

There are some cultures that are so female unfriendly it isn't funny, some of that has to do with religion and some of that doesn't. That's also one of the harsh realities of combating things like this because some people actually grew up and learn that women and worth less or some other kind of bullshit.

The other side of this coin is that in books and articles like this and heck even your comment only women get victimized or men get targeted. Yes statistically men are way more the cause of (sexual) abuse, misogyny or whatnot. Same with that women have it statistically worse partially because of some culture and partially because some people are just dicks and/or sick in their head. Some men (especially gay's, minorities and insecure people) get (sexually_ abused by women or other men, but that generally flies under the radar way more since they are often not believed.

That's why I always feel the need to mention it just incase it helps somebody down the line. Let's do better together!

If you have a 10 year old Linux intall you wouldn't want that to go away either. That has nothing to do with the OS.

Stop being so "aggressive" against people's and let them have their own opinion. It is not helping to get others to get to Linux. What does help is to show people how it can be done.

That is a service they offer? Man that's amazing, I gues I am going to update!

I tried to download Microsoft Office on Linux Mint and I couldn't even download the exe (to run through wine), I needed to go to Windows to download it ... now I just need to make it work (I am in the 1% of people who actually need official Excel)

I would considering moving that data to Germany since they are trying to bypass an anti encryption law in Sweden

Hetzner has it's cloud storage boxes and it's pretty cheap and supports a lot of different backup solutions: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

I tried ot login last week, was able to with the same email and password but it acted like I was a new user. So it created an entirely new account.

On a session I was still logged in I changed my email and password and I ended getting banned on that account.

Really weird and I gues it's time to delete my main Reddit account

Depends on what you do with it. In accountancy we and most of our clients work with Microsoft Office desktop. Also things like templates based on CRM work better with actual Word.

Edit: Libreoffice is also a bit annoying since the settings aren't in the same layout so helping others becomes harder. Not sure if they implemented it since I am not that well versed with it as with Excel, but I belief they don't have a PowerQuery alternative?

Does the dualboot of Mint cause any issues for Windows? I only tested it very briefly on somebody elses machines where I needed to wipe windows and install Linux

Switzerland is not the us though

We really need another Swiss alrernative

Agreeing with one statement doesn’t mean you side with all the points of a person/party.

Andy Yen is an idiot though, not going to lie about that one

We have to wait and see what the next audit is going to find, that will give us more security than any kind of information provided from Proton themselves.

The Swiss laws are also helping to make it so they keep the privacy standards high.

But I would definitely use your own domain for your Proton mail currently

This is most likely what is the issue and they are never going to be able to fix this on a platform like that

Nicely written blog post, it actually sums it up pretty nicely imo

Yen is an idiot yes I don’t anybody can disagree on that one.

But he was born in 88 and while it is well known on the internet the general public doesn’t know it’s other meaning (except the Germans and maybe the American’s).

I live in NL and I can ask around and the majority of people will not know what it means. Probably the same with 34, 69 en 420 for the matter.

I also don’t believe that endorsing one statement means that you agree with the entire pov of the person/party, but I am not American.

Believe what you want and the best thing is to just use a personal domain for your email

It’s not “his” company, the company is owned by the Proton foundation (of whatever it’s exactly called)

Yeah Yen is an idiot, but his power is more limited than with a normal CEO company structure and the Swiss law is a lot stricter than the competitors law in like Germany.

Just like with any of these mail servers, buy your own domain just incase the company switches gears and starts selling your data or whatnot

Well fair, I just found the Medium article to be more complete than most info that is shared around, but I already assumed that it was not complete. At the end the day I personally don't have issues with Proton currently and they are still the best thing I can use since it's located in a country like Switzerland. But I advice everybody to use their own custom domain so they can move whenever needed.

I am inclided to agree with you that Andy Yen is just an idiot and that Proton is doing it's best to stay natural and make the most of the situation. However their communications team is pretty lackluster.

On another note, the article I linked is an opinion, so while it is laid out pretty well it is probably not telling the entire story. I have a custom domain on my Proton account so I can Switch if it ever goes to hell. I would advice you to do the same.
