loved the same 2 as you mention… Mirage was an absolute bore imo. hope you enjoy it more than i Did!

I’m glad someone took the time to add the extra thick red circle, I’m not sure i’d have seen the punchline otherwise

Predatory is an interesting view, how so?

Out of interest what was it you were suspicious of?

Long term Proton User here and general privacy enthusiast. Don’t read into that as I’m wedded to proton, or a shill. Genuinely looking for others opinion here.

Why does this indicate the company is no longer commited to privacy and indicate that its clearly some sort of a sham? I’m no crypto expert, the only crypto I have any of is XMR and even thats just reserved for as and when services allow me to pay with it. Really this new offering is of no interest or use to me so I’m by no means defending it. The same goes for their AI. I’m struggling to understand how these 2 decisions are being perceived as the death of Proton and how its no longer a Privacy Company though?

From my understanding, Protons offerings are still worlds more private than other mainstream offerings, and still come with a fairly high degree of quality of life features that make it easy for Joe public to use and not be put off by lack of features. Is this not still a major victory in the grand scheme of all privacy rights being slowly stripped away?

Have I missed something else behind the scenes around Proton’s practice’s that are indicative of a larger problem or are people annoyed more so that Proton haven’t fixed long outstanding pain points with their existing solutions? Trust me, I understand the frustration as a Linux user that several features dont work but as a business I also appreciate proton have to stay ahead in the market and appeal to the masses in order to make a profit and keep running effectively as a business so would love to hear some other views on why this and AI has been so badly recievdd as a whole by the privacy community.

Also, what alternatives are there I have missed that work well on android and Linux without making sacrifices? Always down to try alternatives

Komoot and strava… General route planning and teavkinv software…

Ah shit. Here we go again 🤣🤣

Ha. Thoroughly nose exhaled. 10/10

This is very true, and SN does do that. That said I have hundreds of notes in SN… Its essentially my life at this point so its heavily integrated and would be both a shame and a pain to migrate! Here’s hoping its positive for all involved though and this is a needless concern!

Mixed feelings on this, as a user of simplelogin, proton and standard notes as individual services for the last 4+ years I love them all, and trust proton.

However one of the key reasons for choosing those services was they were isolated, and without risk of vendor lock in or single points of failure… Depending how this goes it could be great, I just hope they don’t force/push integration with proton too much. Maybe I’m just being a FUD pusher. Certainly equally a chance this is great for both proton and StandardNotes. SN has lacked development on a fair few plugins recently so hopefully this aids that.

Can’t watch the video rn so going to be THAT person who asks a question that may be answered in the video…

I have a remote server running PopOS! I use with the gnome DE, I use xrdp to connect to it, have done some hinting in past about ways to use Wayland instead but had no luck. Does this slow decom mean development for Wayland over rdp may be coming soon?
