A video on how to leave gmail on....gtube? I'll pass ๐
They also run their own peertube instance and publish their videos there. OP could have posted that link instead.
Here you go:
https://peertube.heise.de/w/qWbFwEfTW5TgheJ6v2CZNe
@OP - if you read this please add the peertube link to you post
Wow that's really cool
Thank you very much, updated the link!
Ah okay. I don't usually consume social media so I don't know. It just sounded satirical.
Here is your peertube vid.
/edit: Yes, heise has a official peertube server and I think we should use it.
Thank you very much, updated the link!
We are all still cool with Proton though, right? That was where I was planning on heading.
They now have a history of complying with government data requests and the founder supports Republicans
Any sources on these claims?
https://protos.com/protonmail-hands-info-to-government-but-says-its-not-google/
TL;DR: Proton complied with Spanish authorities and gave up all the information they had on a man (the recovery email.)
With this in mind, I would personally say Proton is safe. The fact that all they were capable of providing was the recovery email should show that Proton is trustworthy with their privacy.
This is only one case, if anyone has any others, please do share them.
Itโs garbage, for starters. Microsoft is no better. Proton or Tuta is the way.
I did. Very happy with Proton.
Just commenting based on the title since I am blocked from YT and also donโt speak German. (An English transcript would be useful)
Ditching Gmail is trivially easy. Boycotting gmail is where the interesting conversation is, because often you need to reach someone who uses gmail. You can do an MX lookup on the domain of the recipientโs email address, but that only works about 70% of the time. If they use an email firewall like Barracuda or a forwarding address, then there is no way to know where the email route ends.
If I cannot get confidence from an MX lookup, then the recipient is getting a fax or postal letter from me. Google could still end up in the loop, but as long as you donโt reveal an email address to the recipient, at least you remain in control over what Google collects and profits from.
Here's the peertube link: https://peertube.heise.de/w/c9ec12fb-2d0d-4894-a1ed-3c2d9273be8d
dankeschรถn!
Thanks. I noticed that but I would have to wait till I have a decent connection and then I wouldnโt understand the German anyway.
We got Proton, Tutanota, Posteo and others like Mail.de So the see got plenty of fish
For anyone interested, I switched from Gmail to mailbox.org about a year ago and I've been happy with it.
I tried eclipso and didn't like it, fwiw.
