That's positive indeed. After Signal, maybe it's time we all add PQC to our ssh, HTTPS, etc.

In fact if you are wondering OpenSSL supports PQC since 3.5 the current LTS and Debian stable relies on it https://packages.debian.org/stable/openssl

So... you might already be PQC-ready. In fact if you also run Debian on your server (or its exposed containers) maybe you connected over HTTPS already in a PQC-ready compliant fashion.

We’re still pretending like quantum computing is anywhere near functional?

maybe you don't know but it's not enough to start working on a solution when traditional cryptography has already failed. you have to start much much earlier, to have a solution much earlier. because most things encrypted one way will not be re-encrypted with new tech later, for various reasons.

Many say its really bad because they are complying with subpoeanas, but email itself is most often not encrypted anyway

But if youre using your acc for stuff that needs actual opsec, use something else

I personally prefer fastmail tho

I have a paid tier. I like it. Beats the shit outta the big G.

I pay for it b/c running privacy focused services is not free. I want a world where we have choices besides Big Surveilence Tech. I could get by with the free tier. I pay anyway.

If you send to other proton addresses, or to other co's with compatible encryption, it can make email E2EE. Otherwise, it's not, like if the other end is on a gmail address or w/e.

It doesn't 100% solve the probs. But it doesn't do G style spying of your email contents. That's worth supporting to me.
