Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Honestly I have to recommend against using Proton!

I've been unable to access some of my calendars lately, which are essential for my work. It doesn't even display an error - I've just noticed that events are missing. If it was down for a few hours that'd be acceptable, but this isn't.

I've also had numerous issues with their email, the worst being that it has pretended to send emails that it hasn't, the consequences of which I had to bear. Again no error message.

And I keep hearing about them adding new features I don't need. How about spending some of that money on proper QA?

Save yourself the headache and find another provider and consider carrying a paper agenda instead. I'd also recommend using different companies for different services, as any issues will only apply to one service. It's best to have your own domain for your email so it doesn't depend on anyone.

Apparently I am free next week: 1000013042

With Skiff going down at the end of the month and Proton gearing up to start data mining, there are very limited options for private email hosting. Basically Tuta and a few others now.

i hate proton because they store ips and give them to the police even if they wouldn't need to
