Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Ffs I just swapped to Proton for drive and email. Thankfully only done a couple of email migrations.
Who isnāt huffing this nonsense?
from the last time this came up, Tuta is of the few that arenāt, although thereās not really anyone with feature match on some of protonās features afaik
I agree; Tuta is the only real replacement, and theyāve promised (for what thatās worth) they donāt have any plans for AI features. I may migrate to Tuta myself, but I canāt truly recommend it ā as always, I have to point out that Tuta is still a single point of failure like Proton, and one day I hope weāre able to design a federated, e2e encrypted replacement for email (that crucially isnāt gpg or anything like it ā imagine teaching your grandma and your drug dealer (assuming theyāre not the same person) to use that kind of thing)

I forgot Iām using their VPN too, and they accept bitcoin (not a big deal, but useful). I was aware of Tuta and fastmail when I chose Proton.
For now Iāll prioritize moving to a self managed domain to make swapping provider easier in future.
Its worse for me - Iāve got a metric shitload of emails on Proton. Thankfully, Iām not using them for anything particularly important.
