If he’s asking me, he’s an asshole. I choose to interpret it the way you did, and use it as a way to improve yourself and your community.

Well, we’re here talking about an important issue and he’ll be remembered forever.

What are you using your life for?

Why would a company dedicated to privacy concerns even entertain connecting to Google? I would imagine the customers using Proton would leave services that don’t value privacy, so why is it being invited back in? Seems like Proton may be changing which customers they value while holding onto name recognition. Enshitification continues.

Sounds like a shady deal with Alphabet for a financially struggling company that may or may not have a board which decided they liked money better than their customers one day.

Don’t let people tell you that “everything’s fine, don’t jump to conclusions”. I have no idea who that is or if they have a stake in this outside or a random Lemmy user, but I would imagine a lot of people would have a financial or other interest in ensuring the public continues to think Proton is safe and private.

Be willing to question and verify. Don’t be complacent.

Interesting that I just saw comnents the other day espousing Proton. Shame to see it go this direction based on those comments, but now I consider it could always have been a paid shill as corporations learn to mimic grassroot campaigns to control messages and set narratives. It’d be nice to see laws moving in that direction.

Sure, then in 2 years I get an easy-to-miss email that says they’re changing the terms and the past 5 years of data will be opened for corporate access and use at its discretion without the requirement to inform you.

I’ve seen this episode before. Much like Hollywood, it’s the same story over and over and the public is getting tired of it.

“please insert a corporate middleman with no oversight into your somewhat private conversation”

Lots of people here say Proton, but I’d also consider selfhosting my email on either a home server or the cloud, whichever meets my criteria for redundancy to stay online vs cost

The photos I take on my cellphone are instantly catalogued, scanned for metadata, and synchronized with my gallery. The app then gives me fun photo displays and reminders of my past daily.

I do nothing but take photos and pay a small fee.

I’m particulay looking for.the functionality of Google Photos, not just a cloud storage solution but a photo catalogue integrated with my camera among other things. Does Proton offer this?

I wonder if this correlates with my recent desires to de-Google my life. I’m steadily growing less happy about daily using their services and them holding all my info.

I’m open to suggestions for cloud photo storage/management on par with Google Photos if anyone has some. I’m looking into FOSS but would rather pay for the service in the long run. These days I’m too busy to learn to be an effective server admin and keep up with the technology.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any of the idiots that buy these idiotic things.

I think the issue is moreso that you’re sending confidential health data to a 3rd party, which is where you lose control. You don’t know the intentions of people looking to steal that data, and you need to consider the worst possible outcome and guard against those. AI training is just one option. Get creative, what could you do with a doctor’s voice and their patient’s private medical history?

Simplest solution is to stop the arrangement until the company can prove data security on their end or implement an offline solution on local servers not connected to the internet.

It is until they prove it isn’t, which they might not be able to do. Many trusted 23andme only to see private data stolen. Make the company prove the security in place and the methods ensuring privacy, because you’ll essentially be liable for any failures of the system from a lack of due diligence.

Sounds about right. RIP I hope your name is remembered for the changes you tried to bring to your people.

They totally feel it to be true, and they’ve been told their feelings are more valuable and true than actual facts.

How you view death impacts how you live life. You now have a feeling shared and contemplated by all of humankind before you, and all the humankind after you. This is the human condition.

Embrace it, come to terms with it, choose to live today and enjoy rather than worrying about that which you have no control over.

Those words are very easy to type but much harder to live.

Best of luck.

RELAX liberal, it’s called DARK HUMOR when you give yourself a life altering injury.

People making content should immediately pivot to become the approvers, not the generators.
