I used to pay £23 for #Google and #Microsoft accounts per month, just to have cloud storage and #Office.
I've since moved to #Proton for storage, VPN and email (about £10). The money saved has gone towards monthly donations to #LibreOffice (365 replacement) and #Signal (#Meta #WhatsApp replacement) - both #FOSS.
What I'm trying to say, I guess, is that if you #LeaveBigTech - and can afford it - donations to the organisations that try to keep the internet free and private would be excellent.
In der 65. Folge vom #Netzpodcast sprechen @joergmaeder, Sven und @kire über:
• #Proton verlässt die Schweiz
• Zugenagelte #Hardware & OSS
• Was macht der #EDÖB?
I suppose I overreacted and let my opinion and actions be influenced by people who either are incapable of exercising nuance or basic understanding, or who willfully disregarded all such seemingly in pursuit of an agenda of ideological purity, à la Stalin and Mao, et. al.
Perhaps.

Mi sto appassionando alla battaglia di #Proton contro le big tech americane. Ora è arrivato anche #ProtonAuthenticator: è una semplice app per l'autenticazione a due fattori, che però dà un altro colpetto al dominio di #Google.

#Proton now has a 2FA authenticator app.
I've installed it to try out and have noticed a few things.
1) It has desktop clients, including for Linux (Where is the Proton Drive native Linux app?).
2) It supports importing data from several other 2FA apps including Aegis, the one I was using previously.
3) It can sync across devices using your Proton account (Proton account optional).
4) It's open source and available on Github.
Proton launches Proton Authenticator, a new open-source, end-to-end encrypted 2FA app
Available on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS & Linux
Securely store and sync your 2FA codes—no tracking, no ads, offline-friendly
Easy import from Google & Microsoft Authenticator
No Proton account required
Proton adds an open-source TOTP app to its product line. The open-source world is blessed with great TOTP apps already, but the more the merrier!
I mean, I get why they are doing these things, but at what point do they turn this into an ecosystem you get locked into?
Also, remember to two-factor your shit!

@CAPETOK instalado ero a la hora de importar tokens de 2FAS da error
Y ya sabe siempre es buen obtener alternativas, pero voy a tener que ir añadiendo uno a uno, de #Proton tengo mail, vpn y pass, no cambio por nada.
Y también tengo #mailfence para gmail,(por comparar) pero protonmail es otra dimensión, otro universo de seguridad
Nice to see Proton release their own 2FA app on all platforms. Very unexpected, but very happy to see it.
