I've moved from the free tier and started paying for the premium tier with #Proton and their VPN/Mail/Calendar/cloud storage/password manager services. It's worth every (reasonably priced) cent to know my online presence isn't being dissected and sold off.
Hi! @protonmail (or @protonprivacy ) what is the most convenient plan for ProtonMail with my own domain, considering that I would like my wife to be able to have her independent user? Thanks!!
L’offre gratuite de #Proton comprend maintenant 5Gb de stockage dans le #Drive. Tout en gardant 1Gb dans #Mails. Et toujours le #VPN, le calendrier et le gestionnaire de mot de passe. Ce sont les utilisateurs payants qui financent l’offre gratuite. Perso, je suis «Unlimited» depuis plus de deux ans, que du bonheur.
Proton and Tuta has similar challenges most others don't care about (including FastMail) - End to End Encryption. That itself is a pretty hard nut to crack. FastMail and similar services don't need to think about that, which makes their services simpler.
I would also not claim that Tuta has a quicker development cycle. They had a round recently where more features were highlighted. But that's an exception. I've had a Tuta account for years as well, to test it out, and both the webmail and Android app is still not that feature rich.
And Proton delivers new features and updated apps quite regularly now compared to just a few years ago. Can it be better? Yes, of course. But still, they are doing alot than just 2-3 years ago. And 2-3 years was even better than the years before that.
Also consider that Proton delivers on a broad range of products and services. Mail, Calendar, Drive, Pass and VPN. Tuta basically has Mail and Calendar, where both of these Tuta services being fairly reduced in features still.
My experience (mostly using Mail and a little bit Drive these days) is that Protons releaes are also pretty solid. It's extremely seldom I'm hit by bugs these days. To have that kind of quality requires quite some QA efforts. I'm not claiming the other services are equally good, but Mail and Drive is now very stable - and Mail is especially crucial for my 15-20+ users abd myself.
Finally, Proton serves more than 100 million users by now. Tuta has reached a bit over 10 million, IIRC. That requires Proton to have more staff on support and operations tasks. So even if Proton has more than 400 employees, that's not 400 developers.
@dazo Hi David! We're actively working on this, however, we don't have specific ETAs to share at the moment. Stay tuned to our social media channels & blog for updates on new releases.

Je viens de recevoir un courriel de Proton indiquant :
"Nous avons lancé la fonctionnalité de sauvegarde des photos pour l'application Android de Proton Drive. "
Super !
Est ce prévu sur IOS et si oui à quelle échéance ?
Merci #proton#protonprivacy#protondrive

ah ah la réponse est sur le site en anglais :
"Photo backup is already in beta on the Proton Drive iOS app and will be released publicly soon. " 👍
No, no one uses them for the same reason they don’t use any other privacy/security-focused product: No demand. There’s a small niche of consumers who do care and use products like Proton but it’s an absolutely miniscule fraction of the populace who simply don’t care, or don’t care enough to actually do anything about it.
@protonprivacy I am using Fedora (Gnome) and I would like to launch ProtonMail Bridge in background. But I don't know how and cannot find a setting for that. Has anyone solved a similar issue?
If you are not using the Flatpack version of ProtonMail Bridge, then modify the ExecStart value to your installation.
After that I ran systemctl --user start protonmail-bridge.service to start the service and systemctl --user enable protonmail-bridge.service to make it auto-start upon login-in into my account.
I have started the year with a paid subscription subscription for @protonmail. I am very found of @protonprivacy services and Proton Mail has replaced GMail
Regarding the font, we've passed the feedback onto the dev team, and this will be changed in one of the upcoming versions.
For email sorting, implementing something like this has been considered, however, we don't have a strict timeline we can provide for the implementation at the moment.
For autofill in Pass, issues can depend on the browser version & device model, as well as the website/app in question. Please contact our support with more info so we can dig deeper.
For all of the “activity pub is great because you can share data across platforms”, I’ve never heard a good explanation about the exact mechanics of how that is done.
Some user wants to fetch a content that’s on different server. Let’s call the user’s instance “Home instance” and the other one “Target instance”.
Let’s assume the Home instance and Target instance are not federated yet.
So, the user triggers the discovery of the Target instance on the Home instance. It varies by platform, but on both Lemmy and Mastodon it’s done by searching for a URL (for example lemmy.world/c/protonprivacy). Because the instances don’t know about each other, they now have to federate.
Federation basically means, that the Home instance subscribes to all changes by some part (or all) of the Target instance, in this case to a single community (to save space, traffic etc. they don’t usually subscribe to stuff that no user is subscribed to).
Now, whenever you add a content (post, comment, toot on Mastodon), your instance checks the list of subscribers and notifies every single one about the change.
So if there’s a new post here, the Target instance now notifies the Home instance that there’s a new post, the Home instance downloads the data about the new post and makes a local copy. Let’s assume the user makes a comment on that new post, in that case the Home instance notifies the Target instance that there’s a new comment and the Target instance makes a copy.
