"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality."
@macberg Unfortunately most of us are (still) "directed" in one way or another by the "need" to make money. While I am convinced that there are alternatives to #capitalism, namely #opensource, #paywhatitsworth, #selfsufficiency or even currencies that lose value over time (to name but a few), these things are probably still #visionary and will take time and courage to develop into serious alternatives for large parts of the population.
#Proton is well-respected company that provides some of the most #secure products available, including #encrypted#email options and #VPN.
I've considered moving from #Gmail for a while, and just this week downgraded my Proton #Visionary account to free (for now) because I've taken so long to decide.
Maybe now is the time, especially since it's easy to use both, seamlessly.
