I have both for years, and never had a single Proton email go to gmail spam. Both personal gmail and a corporate Google Office account.

If it's a custom domain, it's likely a DKIM issue. Otherwise, this sounds like an issue with the recipient having previously marked an email from Proton as spam.

This should absolutely be held up as the example for people that say "I have nothing to hide."

The world isn't fun time sunshine lollipops, kids. It's literally inevitable that your data gets leaked or stolen.

You either naïvely trust the service you give data to more than you should, or you naïvely trust criminals to skip you when given the opportunity. There no evidence of a middle ground or other options in the matter.

IIRC, they've stated that they won't accept Monero because it means they would fail external financial audits they need to remain in operation in Switzerland. Sign all you want, they won't do this.

Plus - y'all, email is not secure anyway. Even Proton. Why would you sign a petition to make the payment method more anonymous than the service they provide? Just send them cash by DHL.

The problem with this is that it leaves left-leaning people using tech companies and slick, highly-produced products as status items. iphones and macbooks are still solid left-leaning status objects.

Also, the right doesn't mind being scrappy and using janky, poorly configured crap if it appears to meet their agenda. Nearly every right-leaning social media platform is either a platform with a Mastadon backend, or some early 2000's style forum.

It can look professional when you aren't posting a gmail address and the domain isn't poopypants.net

Pick something neutral that isn't your name. Try a band name generator. JupiterEvolition.net or IdealMachine.XYZ,.which sound better than herpderp common gutter trash Gmail.com

Having a custom domain means you get things like me@IdealMachine.XYZ and also chosen.one@... And bestcandidate@... Etc. So you can make something for professional stuff, and then chocolate.starfish@IdealMachine.xyz to be funny.

Ah, yes, Republika Srbska. The most dangerous game.

Wait...

It's beautiful.

It's horrible.

It's all of us, and we are ate.

The Linux version of "I went to college ^{outside of} Boston"

Oh, no thank you. I'm good as is.

No, really.

No.

NO!

NOoooooo! Stahp it!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The hardest part of life is the problems you can't just decapitate with a sword.

I recently tried using the Google Translate image translator. Totally locked up now, requiring Play Store and Google App. Still didn't work, but is was seriously just "if you don't give us everything now, we won't do basic shit for you."

Just curious.

Slight sarcasm - I'm also a Mint user, and it was like a recursive reference to this meme from forever ago. Maybe it was too specific and dated, but the point is that since Macs were so easy to use, the Windows people back in the 8.1 days treated Mac users like kindergartners as they paid for their $1,000 facebook machines (also a meme from that time).

All the "Yeah, I use Arch, BTW" people that love the struggle and the hobbyist tweaks of their distros seem to look down on Mint users because it doesn't require a struggle to use Mint. I used to see it all the time when I first jumped over to Linux.

Why is that, anyway?

For the most part, it works well without needing too much tinkering by the user. It's the Fisher Price My First Distro.

I tried it out with a 21.3 dualboot with Windows 11 and within 2 or 3 months I hadn't gone back to Windows other than to push files over. Sure, there were a few "learning opportunities" with tweaks or weird driver issues that were because of the particular hardware I'm using, but they were manageable. At this point I'm running 22.1 only on this machine.

The nice part is that being Ubuntu-based, if I run into a problem, I can search for both the more widely-documented Ubuntu version of the issue, or look for a Mint-related version. Claude does a great job with small-to-medium troubleshooting rather than me dig through forums. It's low-risk, low-work, high-reward.

This is not new, and not because WhatsApp is somehow "untrustworthy." It's been banned from most govt desktops for years.

It's end-to-end encrypted, so it bypasses malware filters. A House staffer can easily be sent a malicious file and spread it around to others before anyone learns the file is malicious.

I also truly hate "family groups" where phones and accounts commonly associated with you get just pings on a topic to make you more malleable to the idea when you finally get the ads.

Yeah, but the other person said the "Harambe Event" so my brain defaulted to Star Wars style use of the Battle of Yavin as the dividing line.

So we could call it Before/After Harambe Event, being the date in May 2016.

The mitochondria.

Domains cost like $1 if you're flexible. Email hosting is what costs money.
