The world can no longer trust American tech. If that sounds dramatic, take a step back and consider the facts.
The United States is a nation in the thrall of authoritarianism, owned and operated almost completely by a far-right doomsday cult intent on betraying every alliance, every contract, every promise
I’m also trying to avoid as much American tech as possible.
Can’t change everything though. I have a company phone. I could get an extra private phone, but I’d still need to use the company phone for company related stuff. Same is true for the company laptop, but I do have my own computer.
It’s not perfect, but the important thing to me is trying as best as I can.
Im trying to find a replacement for Proton, as the new CEO likes trump and seems pretty far right…
I am afraid that they will start enshitification soon
I’m also not that happy with proton. Maybe tuta could be a replacement.
Do y’all know how Fastmail measures up in regards to privacy?
I’m happy with the service, but I don’t know how it compares in this particular domain, compared to the likes of Proton, Tuta, et al.

Good for privacy, but jurisdiction risks & lack of E2EE make alternatives like tuta (or proton) a better choice.
