De fem stora IT-företagen som kontrollerar programvaran på våra datorer, hur vi använder internet och våra sociala medier är Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Microsoft och Meta Platforms (Facebook). Det finns mängder med europeiska alternativ som i flera fall är fri och öppen programvara men i andra fall är proprietär program (ägd och sluten) vara eller tjänster.

Malgré la chute d'un #vpn récemment, certains devraient etre plus robustes, comme #mullvad qui a deja subit une perquisition et n'a rien pu donner aux flics

Par contre, paie le en crypto du coup, pour eviter le précédent de #protonmail qui a donné les data CB🤷‍♀️

Mullvad's no-log policy proven after police raid

No customer data was compromised, the provider said

Surprise: @protonprivacy wants us to add tracking links to our website. That is an odd suggestion coming from a “privacy” company. Should we take their bribe?

We get a lot of weird suggestions by e-mail but only one company (#nordvpn) tried to bribe us before: https://fedifreu.de/@switchingsoftware/114223190053914164

Family lost access to both #Tutanota and #ProtonMail , due to forgot to log in to Tutanota free account within 6 months, and set it as Proton Mail's recovery Email. And most likely without other recovery methods on Proton. Now Proton requires a recovery code which was sent to the deleted Tutanota every time they tried to log in. An email has been sent to Proton Customer Service, but my furious family might just go back to big tech services.

Maybe a lost case, but what more be done?

Because a couple of my friends have #ProtonMail accounts, I figured, why not make one too. Not impressed so far, especially with the nickel-and-diming. But it's not terrible either. Could prove useful down the road.
@xjasminelu Interesting and very privacy oriented email providers would be #tutamail and #ProtonMail so they may be worth to check them out. Both have free tier to have some hands on experience.

@dedicto @ShaulaEvans @kagihq @GrapheneOS @Tutanota I pretty much ditched Safari+duckduck but I've found a couple sites I use that won't allow me in with vivaldi, so I go back to S+D.

I ditched goo 14 yr. ago and went to protonmail and have been for some years.

Well, now #protonmail-bridge works well under #Nixos . I've had to install the flathub one and everything is good.
