    Or if they give a bad review they won’t get a free phone to review next time.

    Ai capabilities turned off in Europe

    I don’t know the backstory but I’m guessing it’s slurping up your privacy so hard it’s illegal in Europe.



  • Oh speeds are great! Hundreds of Mbps. Depends on what you’re after. Not sure if they go into the Gbps, but I feel like I remember some locations do. My internet is only 300Mbps so can’t test higher. VPN speeds from a random local server are normally about 280Mbps. Not sure if that would be higher if my internet was faster.

    I haven’t had any connection drops, and you can choose the location. Their guides also explain which locations work for streaming services if you want to check out the catalog from other countries. And they have specific servers that have P2P enabled if you want to use bittorrent.

    I haven’t used Proton Drive for photos. It’s worth noting Proton Drive is a relatively new offering. The lack of Linux client is also a show stopper for me, as I don’t have a Windows computer to run it on. I’m keen to use it though when they get a client going.

    The proton mail mobile app is fine, I use it and don’t have complaints. But I don’t like that I can’t use a different app if I want to 😆. It also doesn’t let you add other third party accounts into the app with IMAP so I have two apps while I transition.


  • I’ve used it, but haven’t used others so can’t compare!

    What did you want to know?

    I’ve recently signed up for Proton Unlimited, and have been playing with things. If you’re interested in the drive space, note there’s no Linux sync client (it’s Lemmy so I feel obligated to let you know), only the web client. There’s a windows client though.

    The VPN is pretty easy. Log in, quick connect. Or manually select a server.

    Needing bridge software for IMAP and having to use their email app on mobile is a bit annoying but it’s good enough that it’s fine.

    I’ve found their help guides pretty good.




  • This is the first I’ve heard of people blaming accessibility tools for anything.

    You gave the example of alt text being used to hide slurs, but I’d be pretty confident this would be handled the same way as if they used them in the open. It would be brought to an admin or mods attention, they would confirm, and take appropriate action. Trolls regularly use slurs in the open so I don’t see why this situation would be handled differently.

    Are there other examples of accessibility tools being used for bad things?

    I like KISS, because it’s different.

    I have it set up with a blank screen, with a small number of pinned apps. So my home screen is a search bar at the bottom with 5 or so small icons above it.

    When I tap the search bar, it shows me my most used apps. I can search for anything else, and choose to view the whole list if I want. You can also web search from it a bit like the Google one but without the data harvesting.

    I also use gestures. A swipe left, right, up, or down on the home screen opens various apps for quick access.

    Previously I used PieLauncher which was even more different.
