What are equal or better replacements for their software suite: email, vpn, cloud storage, password manager, AI?
Yeah lets cancel and move to m$ or google.

Was thinking of switching after the BS from last year. My subscription ended this month and I’ve finally finished changing my services. Also did not want everything in one basket.
Finally migrated to Proton in July, cancelled yesterday; had paid for the full year but have already started moving.
I was so happy to be supporting a company I believed in and was looking forward to the services getting better and better… Then the crap started to kick off: re-interviews for all, with us or against us mentality, cancelling the re-interviews, doubling-down and insulting your team, behaving like a petulant child. Then Bart posted the tone-deaf AI manifesto…and that seems to be it so far…
I get that AI is here, I get that the cat is out of the bag. It’s fair to suggest that it is no longer possible to not use AI in the codeflow… For me this less about AI=good/Bad, more about attitude and behaviour; and how that shapes the ethos.
All you have to do as a CEO is shut the fuck up and let your product do the talking. The less I hear about your shit views the more likely I am to stay with your product.
On a side note, he’s smart for letting a lot of people back out of Proton services. The VPN speeds are better now.😆
Canceled mine. Only did it for a month when Mulvad had their shit exposed. Lord. I feel for those who have to fully migrate.
After an employee suggested taking at least a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live, Yen reportedly responded by calling the idea “bullshit and loser thinking,” saying it is possible to both be fast and secure.
This guy might just be hamming it up to fluff up his resume for Grok AI or something
What other email service is free and not a pos? Does one exist? Gotta pay to play I gues…
I’m so glad I delayed switching over to proton.
Also fuck that guy. What an ass.
I put it off
Posteo mail, excellwnt provider, good ethics https://posteo.de/en
Bon jour Mailo…
The Suisse should boot Yen out of their country.
Slagging off his employees, slagging off his customers. Real bright spark this guy.
Yeah, I canceled my sub. I have no idea if the CEO of my new email provider is any better, but I know that Yen is abusive to his employees, and that matters to me. I know he’s deep in the throes of AI psychosis, and that makes me not trust him at all. I’m gone.
