When you send an encrypted email to a non-Proton user, you click on the lock icon to encrypt the email and assign it a password, which you need to get to your user. The recipient then receives an email with a link. They click on the link, enter the password and and can then view your email, which to my understanding is decrypted client-side.

They just keep getting worse and worse! I've decided to investigate whether one of the Linux distributions is able to be my daily driver. With everything being a web app these days, incompatibility with business programs I use is no longer an issue. The only question now is, are my peripherals compatible?
Buying one or more domains and using those with protonmail gives you 100% portability. Just redirect your domains to a different mail server if you decide to make a switch.
If you set up a domain with Protonmail, you can have unlimited email addresses for that domain, although they ask to to the same inbox that way. I like to use a website's name as the user when I sign up with a website, so it's like [email protected]. If I start getting emails to that address from somebody other than Office Depot, I know those rat-bastards sold me out.

I think there are defendable grounds for saying someone posting about privacy on YouTube is and is not ironic. How surprising or unexpected it is depends on many factors like the poster's goals, threat models, and degree of altruism, user expectations regarding the poster, and congruence or incongruence with all of the above.
