I'll just note that Pivot to AI called Proton on its shit in 2024

still waiting on our apologies, i'm sure they'll be along shortly
@davidgerard semi-unrelated but i hate the name "Proton". i thought this was talking about Valve's compatibility layer for a moment and i was about to lose my shit.
thankfully we're actually talking about a mail service that i don't use anyway because you have to pay for IMAP for some reason
@davidgerard After Tuta's admission, now evaluating whether I should even bother with a paid email account anymore. The only two reasons is work and password resets. Everything else I can just outright block.
@Tock @davidgerard
Out of the loop, what did they admit?
@davidgerard @Tock
Welp, that one's out then
Too bad I wasn’t following you back then.
Do you have suggestions for something better? I’m despairing.
@mariloupage.bsky.social sadly not. i mean don't ask me, i'm still on gmail
figure 1: Amy and me awaiting our apologies from the Proton fanboys
@davidgerard I'd ask how it's been that long already but then again it's still march 2020

@davidgerard I knew they were involved in some crypto bullshit in the past! Thanks for the reminder!
