Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"
Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"
You're viewing a single thread.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and that applies to tech. I pay for Proton and this is disappointing af but not shocking. Corporations and wannabe billionaires always fold to fascism.
Gonna start looking around at alternative email services to consider but I use my Proton email everywhere, so switching away is going to suck.
When you register a domain, you own the whole name-space of that domain:
All possible sub-domains of your domain are yours. All possible URLs on the domain are yours. All possible email addresses on the domain are yours.On your domain, you are also free to choose the linked services such as web, email calendar etc. If you are not satisfied with one provider, you are free to switch to another one at your own convenience.
I mean, dude is one out of 5 board members:
People don't accidentally get on a board. The whole idea is that you actively search for and interview and even recruit people who best embody the values of your project. Then you get nominated and often voted.
Yeah, I think (hope?) we will find that his opinion is not echoed among them.
Ingl, I think the only way to stay sane these times is to ignore what they say and look at what they do. As long as his products are up to my standards and values, I'll just ignore whatever he says to appease whomever
Agreed. If I haphazardly ditched services based on the opinions of tech folks, I’d be reduced to using a pair of cans attached with string and nothing else.
Were the cans and string ethically sourced, though?
I saved them from a landfill! They smell kinda weird though.
Yep... But CEOs bootlicking daddy trump is pathetic non the less...
What people define should not be doing is using Proton as one stop shop like they did with Google.
Got to stay nimble
Nonetheless is one word :)
I cannot think of a free VPN that doesn't suck; does anyone has suggestions outside of Proton for that, please?
It is the spell check, trust me bro haha
Mullvad is is considered the gold standard but there is another that people recommend. Anybody can drop the other one?
I think I'll have to do this as well. I'm tired, boss.
no ethical consumption under capitalism
I agree with this as much as the next guy, but this is also kinda cope.
I take it as more of an observation and use it to be more mindful of what I buy, the services I use, etc. The reality is that we don’t know what happens behind the scenes with so much of this stuff, but we can still be conscious of it and use it as an opportunity to reduce clutter in our lives.
