  • I have no idea. I didn’t even know they had these until people were suggesting we move to discord from Reddit a couple months ago.

    I use discord the same as you. Hop in a voice chat with friends and then close discord. I’ve never used it for anything other than a bloated ass voice chat client lol

    Edit: didn’t realize you were a different person. I use discord the same as the other guy I replied to.













  • I have their legacy “professional” plan, and the reason it’s so expensive is because back then, you could pay to add additional custom domains.

    I believe they now removed that feature? I cannot find it anywhere.

    Basically I have a bunch of custom domains for personal stuff, work stuff, small home business stuff, etc, and I use ProtonMail to consolidate it all into one inbox.

    So while ProtonMail has a bunch of pros, and you’ll be able to find them easily, I think it could be more beneficial to tell you about what I would consider cons.

    Like what’s happening now, they always roll out features to their top tier plans first, which can definitely suck. They absolutely don’t care about how much people pay them, they care about the random plan badge associated with the account instead. When they finally added the ability to search for your emails, they rolled it out to visionary members first. Quite insane to have something so basic be locked behind a top tier membership for a limited time.

    In my couple years being with them, they’ve had a few times where their services crapped the bed for multiple days straight. If I remember correctly, last year their mail and calendar services went down on a Monday and took until Wednesday for them to be fully restored. Absolutely destroyed productivity when you are unable to message your clients or check your calendar.

    Proton also makes big claims and almost never meets them. They promised a redesign of the Android app for a couple years, and when it finally came, they were over 1 year past their already extended date. The same thing is happening with the new rewrite of the Android app that is supposed to support basic mail features like email threads.

    Overall I like their services. The web UI is clean and has super awesome features like keyboard shortcuts to easily manage your email. Their services haven’t went down at all, or at least not significantly to my knowledge in 2023 yet, which is good. If you’re ignorant, and you don’t keep up to date about their new features or planned features, you’ll be happy. You really only start to get frustrated when you’re waiting for a basic feature and hear it’s limited to a higher tier at the moment.

    You also have to be okay using their mobile app, as third party mobile email clients don’t work. On desktop a few different ones will work, like Thunderbird, but only if you use proton bridge with it.


  • The Windows app is first coming to Proton Lifetime accounts and will be made available to Visionary users later. Beta invites will be sent out at a later stage.

    I hate their way of managing so much.

    I pay them nearly $150 per month, but I don’t have lifetime or visionary so I’m just screwed and treated like scum.

    How about roll it out to everyone that pays at the same time? I understand maybe holding back on free users, but why screw over your paying users? So ridiculous. I don’t know of any other company that does this.



  • That’s interesting!

    I am allergic to most meat, and the few types I can still eat I don’t like to cook myself, because meat is something you need to make sure is cooked properly to be safe. So I end up rarely having it, and honestly, my life is no different. The rare times I do have it, it’s great, I enjoy ribs, bacon, etc, but it’s nothing I would get angry and defensive over.

    I buy the beyond meat sometimes, and it’s delicious as hell. I go to vegan restaurants, as I can guarantee my deathly allergy is not going to pop up there, and it’s bomb ass food (usually. I find that some vegan places are -3/10, but others are 11/10 and their “meat” tastes 100% authentic and real, it’s something you need to discover.).


  • the whole idea of an electric bicycle is dumb.

    It’s not.

    It gets you from point A to B, costs nearly nothing to charge, and is environmentally friendly.

    Why waste money on a electric alternative of a transportation device that was made to both make you do excercise AND to get you places?

    It gets you there faster and without sweating. My eBike goes 50KPH. I arrive at my destination with no sweat.

    If you want to get places faster, or just showoff on two wheels, that’s what motorbikes are for.

    I’m sorry, but you’re being very ignorant. A motorbike is thousands of dollars, requires hundreds of dollars per month in insurance, requires licenses, maintenance, fuel, etc.

    Not to mention not everyone can ride a standard bike. Older people, people with chronic illnesses, etc. I personally had a double lung transplant. I’m not pedal biking, nor am I paying $750/month for motorbike insurance in my province.
