We wrote last week about Proton Mail adding an AI assistant that just sent a wafer-thin slice of your email in plaintext to sit on Proton’s servers — unlike the zero plaintext that was stored there…
Screams incoherently I just managed to switch my 2FA, passwords, and important email accounts to Proton. Then they go pull this bullshit over time! This is quite cursed; if it gets any worse, I don’t know what I’ll do. They were not shitty and the competition is so much worse.
I was this close to switching to Proton… Dodged a bullet? I’m slowly degoogling, but I guess my new goal is to switch to a bunch of separate individual services to make it easier to switch just photos/email/calendar/drive/etc in the future when a service enshittifies.
Yeah, that would be best. I still keep certain things separate because of enshittification can strike at any time! However, I don’t think that Proton will ever get that deep into the becoming shittier train; I could be 1000% wrong about it, as I’m aggressively huffing copium right now. I’ve pretty much made Google one of my throwaway accounts that stays isolated from anything important. So I can dump that terrible company at a moment’s notice without worry.
