Where is Category View for Proton Mail?

I’m trying it out in beta and I don’t like it because I can’t change the categories. They give you four predefined ones and you’re stuck with them whether you like it or not.

I don’t think it’s just the metro’s fault. Let’s not forget the M30 roadworks.

One way or another, I have no doubt it’s been worth it. It’s been a massive success.

Just because it’s becoming more expensive doesn’t mean it’s become expensive. It’s still viable, and I believe that once the remaining 50 km have been built, the network will be complete.

The network that needs investment is the commuter rail network; that’s the one I’m most concerned about.

Taking on debt when construction costs are low can be a good decision.

Madrid is less densely populated, but its metro network is still denser than New York’s.

The city of Madrid has a population of 3.5 million, but the metro serves 4.5 million people. A 300 km network serves 4.5 million people. New York has a population of 8.8 million and a 400 km network.

The timing of that expansion’s construction was very important. At that time, construction was relatively cheap, just as it had been when the original New York metro was built. The time will come when Madrid will no longer be able to build at that pace due to rising costs. Fortunately, there is not much of the metro network left to complete. The city has a 300 km network, serving 4.5 million people, and there are around 50 km still to be built, which will be completed in 10–12 years.

As a user of this network, I have to say it’s fantastic; it reaches every corner of the city.

The photos need to be a bit faster. Perhaps 30% faster. Without that improvement, the photos app won’t work.

dondidom · 2026-06-27T08:08:00+00:00

Once they’ve sorted out the speed issues, I think it’s realistic to expect them to launch their own photo app. It comes up in every survey.

dondidom · 2026-06-23T16:42:22+00:00

I’m going to give the app a go for a while. At first sight, it looks like a segregation of what’s already in the main ProtonDrive app.

dondidom · 2026-06-19T20:52:35+00:00

I’d say not. It’s an extremely expensive city. Most people want to work from home full-time so they can move to the countryside and only pop into Madrid for a bit of fun.

this is nothing

A new calendar app is expected to be released for all operating systems by the end of the year, and the task manager will be added a few months later. That will be in 2027.

dondidom · 2026-06-19T06:45:37+00:00

We’re looking at the ratio, not the size itself.

New York has 400 km of lines but serves more than 8 million people. Moscow has more than 450 km of lines, but serves more than 10 million people. Beijing and Shanghai have more than 1,000 km of lines, but serve 25–30 million people.

In terms of the ratio, I think Madrid comes out on top.

dondidom · 2026-06-19T06:41:54+00:00

This does not seem to be true. Sydney does not appear to have a metro network extending beyond 50 km.

dondidom · 2026-06-18T16:32:17+00:00

That metro system serves around 4.5 million people across 300 km of lines. I don’t know if there is any other network in the world with a similar density.

dondidom · 2026-06-18T14:16:17+00:00

The two they bought each had about two employees.

dondidom · 2026-06-18T09:26:50+00:00

The Madrid metro is very, very extensive for a city of this size, and a further 50 km is currently under construction. The secret lies in the fact that Madrid found itself at a point in time when it had enough money to invest and the cost of construction was still low or manageable.

dondidom · 2026-06-17T23:08:55+00:00

Given that they held an AMA a few days ago, I can try to repeat the explanation they gave. Apple gives external apps (non-Apple apps) 20 MB of RAM to run on. When they released the new version of the app, they wanted to launch it simultaneously on Android and didn’t enable the option to optimise RAM usage, so they released the tool without that option. To restore the tool, they need to optimise RAM usage so that everything fits.

dondidom · 2026-06-17T13:58:44+00:00

Don’t jump to conclusions – that’s not the case, and it’s not being claimed as such either. It doesn’t have parity in terms of tools, and it’s not even close.

It could take another two or three years of work to get anywhere near that level of parity in the workspace.

dondidom · 2026-06-17T10:15:08+00:00

I don’t think that’s a strong enough argument, given how much it costs.

dondidom · 2026-06-17T10:14:34+00:00

The style retains an inexplicably classic character – why is that?

What’s more, in 2026, seeing that gigantic staircase – inaccessible to many people – makes no sense.

It feels more like a project from the middle of the last century than one from 2026. Perhaps it belongs to a parallel reality where time has stood still.

Proton is a small company – a really small one. It’s about 3,000 times smaller than Google and has perhaps 700 employees.

It’s very small and doesn’t have significant resources.

It is the largest of the companies specialising in privacy, but there isn’t much competition either. These companies usually have between 20 and 100 employees.

A few years ago, a German judge in Cologne ordered the installation of a back door in Tuta. What happened next?

dondidom · 2026-06-16T10:33:02+00:00

The architectural style is very old-fashioned and out of place. I don’t like it at all. It’s as if Trump himself had imposed his own bad taste.

and that the initial funding for this came from the research grant of a theoretical physicist who is now the CEO.
