Not where I am from.
I thought I made it clear? I was on the Proton Mail Essentials ($9.55) and was required to go to Proton Business ($15) to unlock Proton Pass Plus.
An over $5 increase.
But once again, I don’t see a need to slander and lie about a company that by all accounts is trying to actually do something about the privacy nightmare that the internet has become.
Please tell me where I lied? Thanks.
Fish keeping lol
Fragmented communities are.
My front page has the same thing 10-15 times because they were cross posted to so many different instances.
I've reduced my Lemmy usage by probably 95% because of it. I scroll so much but get nowhere.
No matter what my sort options are.
Edit: which aren't always bots, unfortunately. A ton of people see them from other communities and will post the same thing to theirs. Blocking bots does not help.
I setup the VPN tunnel. It's a toggle switch on my phone that allows me to access my network as if I was home. It's free (using wireguard app), and way more secure, as my phone is the only device allowed to access it.
Downside is that I need to add devices manually if I wanted, but upside is that it's super secure and not directly open to the web via domain.
Thanks! I didn't realize how dead simple, and free, it was to use the WireGuard app on Android and built in Unraid VPN settings to create a VPN tunnel.
It took me 2 minutes and it's a simple toggle to access my photos as if I was at home. Incredible!
Can’t say I share your sentiment. I’ve been quite happy with their rate of progress over the years and the applications they offer. I’ve been using them since they only offered mail and haven’t ever had any issues. I’d rather them take their time to do things right then try to release new things at a frantic pass. While they might not have all the bells and whistles, for the average user I think they provide more than enough value.
They redesigned their Android app and missed the promised deadline TWICE and took 2 YEARS to release it. Now they're working on the Android remake, to add threaded view, to finally catch up to year 2023. Already missed the deadline once.
Also, your pricing is just completely wrong and off base. Pass by itself is $5/month ONLY if you pay per month. If you pay for 1 year worth it’s $4 a month and $3 month if you pay for 2 years. And that’s only if you for some reason only want to pay for proton pass.
It's $5 when I add it onto my Mail Plus for 12 months. Not sure what country you're from, but it's $5 in my country.
Likewise, if you’re paying $120 year for protonmail then you’re most likely on the proton unlimited bundle for $10 per month paying for 1 years worth at a time. In that case you already have access to proton pass (and in fact all of their proton apps and premium features), so I’m not sure why you think you need to pay again for proton pass.
Again, I am on Proton Plus. The second highest tier. The next tier is Proton Business, and it doesn't go higher than that. I need more than 3 measely custom domains, so instead of ProtonMail offering the ability to pay for just more custom domains, they nickel and dime you and force you to pay for the business account. Like I said in my initial comment, they are money grubbing.
edit: I should also note, you don’t have to pay for any of their services. You could get by just using the free versions of everything if you didn’t need the extra bells and whistles offered for paying customers.
Except the features BitWarden hides behind a $1/month subscription, Proton locks behind a $5/month subscription. So unless I want to switch from BitWarden to ProtonPass and LOSE features, then yes, I do.
Proton Pass pisses me off. Proton is such a money grubbing company that takes FOREVER to release stuff.
I pay $120 per year for ProtonMail, and they want me to pay $180 to unlock the full Proton Pass. $60 per year, for something that BitWarden does for only $12 per year.
Not to mention you'll be waiting years for apps to come out. They're such a fragmented company. The Android remake is already so far past the estimated release date it's sad. Proton Drive Windows app finally came out, but fuck Mac and Linux users, I guess.
BitWarden is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, 9 browsers, iOS, Android, and CLI. - Premium is $1/month.
ProtonPass is available for iOS, Android, and 4 browsers. - Premium is $5/month.
Can't wait for Proton to release a few more half baked services with outdated apps and a promise to update them in a year, but then 3 years later there's still radio silence. Perhaps use your paid services money for developing in a timely manner? Holy shit.
Because everyone complained about the flat tire.
Sounds like China and USA have similar priorities.
It's all over my front page. Even the few that I am subscribed to, I kinda need to be because of the fragmentation. There are 3 main Android communities. If I only pick one, I miss news, but if I pick all 3, I get a ton of duplicate news.
Lemmy is flawed. They need to publish an update where Lemmy condenses these posts into one post with a drop down where you can open and choose which instance you want to view it from. Shouldn't be hard, and to prevent any issues, allow the user to condense a certain time period. For example, allow me to condense all posts that are the same URL that were posted in the past 6 or 24 hours. Make the most popular post the "main" one, and have a drop down to view the other ones.
I know it's possible because I used to have an extension to check if any URL I was currently on was posted to Reddit, and if it was, show me every single instance of it. It was useful to see exactly where the news article I was viewing was posted on, or the YouTube video, etc.
I had very high hopes for Lemmy, but the fact I've been here for a month before the Reddit API changes, I have seen the clusterfuck that Lemmy has become. There's no way new users are going to even sign up when the front page is repost city.
