IIRC, this was because the user in question had set a recovery email for their account, which Proton either volunteered or was forced to give to the authorities. Definitely crappy behavior on Proton’s part. Don’t set a recovery email!

Do you need to go back? What exactly are you going back from? Is it not serving your needs? There are plenty of alternatives to Google services; I’d be happy to provide some suggestions, if you’d like, having been through this ever since The Snowden Affair.

AFAICT, it looks like all he’s doing is praising Trump’s pick for AG in the Antitrust division . . . although if you look over her Wikipedia page, you’re right, it doesn’t look all that encouraging.

Can someone on Mastodon ask the Proton CEO what it was exactly that she did that he likes so much? Anyone who can work at Fox for any length of time, frankly, is complete and utter shite.

I agree! I don’t use Proton’s VPN or their password manager for that reason. The equivalents I had in place already were fine and I didn’t feel the need to switch over everything, just some things.

You could look at infomaniak, but I didn’t have the best experience trying out (or even getting started with) their services. Finding a provider that has all of Proton’s apps is going to be tough (or at least it was from me while I was looking to escape from Tuta). Good luck, tho.

EDIT: Infomaniak is on F-Droid!

Did he (the CEO) really need to do this? Orange 🍄 Guy’s probably never even heard of Proton. The transition for me from Tuta to Proton was long and rough, so I’m not prepared to jump ship just yet and really hope I won’t have to.

That reminds me, I think I remember reading on the FreeTube page that they recommended using a VPN with it (this was before the current issues with Mullvad); anyone know why? Are FreeTube users in any danger of being hunted down by Sundar Pichai & co.?

Much to reflect upon! Thanks to @Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world (you aren’t by any chance serving on the Southern Sun at the moment, are you?) and @zedcell@lemmygrad.ml.

Yeah, same here! I have to turn off Mullvad when watching FreeTube which is definitely annoying.

Possibly Odoo . . . ?

That’s the Spectre. “He’s more powerful than God,” I always used to say.

This isn’t really what you’re looking for, but libremd is an Invidious-style front end for the IMDb. It manages to scrape quite a bit from them, though not everything.

Going to go through the troubleshooting guide on iFixit on the remote chance that I can salvage this thing…

Thanks to @sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works and @limerod@reddthat.com. The GrapheneOS page recommends getting at least a “7,” but I can probably sell some more plasma and the rest of my Precious Moments™ figurines to get a more expensive model. The 5a5g did indeed have a headphone jack, but I guess anything newer than that doesn’t have one. Which means, I guess, earbuds/bluetooth (what Mrs. zdhzm2pgp calls “ear cigarettes”)? I’ve never had these for anything; how well do they work? I was sort of under the impression that the sound quality was not great, but that was also a long time ago.
