Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
Honestly I'll still be using Proton and recommending it because it's just good and a net benefit for everyone, but goddammit Andy you should've taken Swiss neutrality to heart this time and not said anything.
Fuck Proton. Use Mullvad instead.
Ahh yes, Mullvad email and drive. Both great products!
Gotta kiss the new king's ass so he doesn't go after you.
Sure. That’s exactly why small businesses thrive in democrat cities, right? And exactly why more small business popped up under Biden, right?
Gimme a break. People are so blind and dumb.
How is this relevant when talking about tech, and when talking about tech monopolies specifically?
Theres the real problem with repugs. They think they are the "little guy"s
I’m not sure what’s worse, kissing the ring or taking that Trump post seriously. He obviously did not write it, and he also obviously only makes statements like this to threaten others and secure their loyalty. Here we are a month later, and some of the richest tech bros in the country are expected at his inauguration.
I literally signed up for their VPN last night since NordVPN doesn't offer port forwarding. . . Oh well, I can 30 day guarantee it and get mullvad I guess. All I lost was a bit of time setting it up in all my containers, and any respect I had for Proton
I like mullvad but they got rid of their port forwarding.
They did. Not many choices left that support it, sadly
container as in docker?
I know very little about this but I've used gluetun and it's great
https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun
it supports a lot of VPN providers
Can anyone recommend a decent free vpn? I can't afford to pay for one rn and theirs is the only reputable free vpn i know of :/
I’ve not used it but I see people recommending Mullvad (sp?) a lot.
He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.
Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.
Why can't we have nice things?
Fox and Roku, everyone's two favourite small companies!
Too bad, I was considering their service when my VPN service ran out. Not excluding them outright, but will have to keep a eye on it.
People somehow still surprised by Switzerland being neutral on Naziism
Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.
well this makes me slightly less fomo'd after going for tuta and mullvad- but i'm probably jinxing it rn ;-;
I wonder what is the percentage of nuts tech ceos.
Seems to be abnormally high
Rich people tend not be good people in general
I see a lot of good discussion here. I've been on proton for years now, using my own domain. While true that Andy is one of 5 board members, and it's a nonprofit etc, these statements are raising hairs on my neck, personally.
Does anyone have a good guide on problems associated with self-hosting email?
Someone remind me, what's the first chapter in On Tyranny?
