I sometimes ponder what the PM’s at MSFT get paid for or do with their time? If it’s not thorough, well thought out use cases for an intrusive product like this.
Prob for the best they take L on this one.

Proton and Standard Notes are joining forces | Proton Proton and the end-to-end encrypted note-taking app Standard Notes are joining forces. We’ve long been admirers and are excited to welcome Mo and his team.

Nice and smart move to further build out Proton's offerings. I'm a fan of both and think their teams will do great things together.

Mullvad VPN - Free the internet Mullvad is a VPN service that helps keep your online activity, identity, and location private. Only €5/month - We accept Bitcoin, cash, bank wire, credit card, PayPal, and Swish.

🔐 SW Recco #3: VPN's
Just because you have nothing to hide doesn't mean you shouldn't.

I'm sceptical of ISPs and DNS providers (👀 Google) around deep packet inspection and data harvesting for monetisation purposes.

VPN SW we recommend:
1. mullvad.net - Privacy focused + 3 easy steps

Tuta Mail: Create a secure, private & encrypted email account for free Tuta is the secure email service, built in Germany. Use encrypted emails on all devices with our open source email client, mobile apps & desktop clients.

I fell off my privacy and security reccos quickly, so let me try again.

🔐 SW Recco #2: Encrypted Email
We like a couple of services (RIP Skiff)

1. @proton.me - It's our go-to for comms @ninjaowl.ai

2. Tutanota - Clear + Easy for all user levels + bonus points for open source.

Now this is the kind of "20% projects" I like from Google 👾

We like the 2 above because they are both excellent for individuals, businesses and everything in-between.

Their integrations into the overall software ecosystem is also growing rapidly.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the 1Password + Alfred 🎩integration for maximum HOK time. 🧵2/2

🔐 Sofware Reco. #1: Password Manager
One of our core security recommendations @ninjaowl.ai is a password manager.
Our top 2 are:
1. 1password.com
2. @bitwarden.bsky.social
They give coverage for different budget levels, complexity of teams/orgs and ease of use + automation (UI + CLI). 🧵 1/2

Happy 2024!
