According to Andy’s logic, if Hitler were the president of some unfortunate country, we should differentiate the boss from his good nominees. Even using a company founded by an entire community to show a good evaluation made by one of its founders to give him a loving pat on the back and show the world that he is not completely bad as they think, but not meaning that the founder agrees with all his innocent actions, of course, such as disregarding the rights of many people around the world because they are just part of the democratic game.
Really disappointing. Never imagined this from Proton. Truly dead to me now.
Abandoning the Proton subscription now. How stupid and irresponsible. In fact, are running away from all your principles.
I had discarded this option, so I was looking for other ways to communicate as I was unable to create a Gitlab account due to problems authenticating my bank details.
However, today I did it.
The issue has been created.
I managed to find a way by downloading the user profile that appears and copying it through the user profile manager to the user profile of the banking apps and, if it wasn’t available in any of the Aurora Store apps, I would prefer to use it on the spare smartphone that I have.
I never use dubious sources like this, especially banking apps.
But it’s good to know that there are people facing the same problem so that the developer can perhaps solve it.
By the way, does anyone know a way to contact him?
It’s not related to that. My language is the default of the system and I even tested others, but without success.
I’m from Brazil too and I also think it’s an unknown problem because I’ve had this experience before and I thought I wasn’t sure how to solve it but it seems like there’s really no solution. Just wait, although it’s been many days and nothing is going back to normal.
I’ve never seen this option. Where is it?
I’ve tried several anonymous ones (logging out and back in to sessions) and also in my personal account and nothing. It doesn’t work.
I’ve tried this a lot and it doesn’t work :(
The amount of files transferred
AFAIK, Mailbox.org was once open source, but has not very recently become closed source. PrivacyGuides.org recommends it, as does Tresorit (encrypted cloud storage), for example, which is closed source and is one of the services I use. Providers that implement encryption, have been audited, have been on the market for years, and have a clean track record of security or privacy scandals, which there aren’t many of these types of services these days. But I personally don’t like them and try my best to avoid closed source softwares as well.
In conclusion, PrivacyGuides mostly recommends open source software but also recommends some that are not based on their features, reputation, security and maturity.
