The Top 3 Apps in my Country (Venezuela) are all VPNs...
  • You read one title and one tweet and assume a guys whole identity. WTF. Also Proton is owned by it's employees and a non-profit. https://proton.me/about/team There are many other people there. Also the tweet was a picture. Also if it is real it's not that bad to compliment a president on choosing a guy that actually is listening about what you have to say against big tech.

  • Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"
  • It's ridiculous how many people just go "oh well time to dump Proton" because of a picture (not even a link) of a tweet without context. Also the title is misleading. Andy Yen in this picture is complementing Trump, and also apperently posting facts about who started the antitrust actions. "Embracing" is, really, as I have written, misleading.

  • Mastodon’s founder cedes control, refuses to become next Musk or Zuckerberg

    This is what I have found about the governmance structure of OpenAI. It's complicated but basically the working company is a for-profit controlled by a non-profit, controlled by employees and other investors, the non-profit is also controlled by a board of driectors. Also it's all based in the US.

    The Mastodon model is probably going to be a lot simpler and will probably not allow big investors to take ownership of the company. Also they are looking for a suitable country in the EU that will enforce the non-profit's obligations to the people. Being based in the EU is in itself a huge difference, and by choice. They have not set anything in stone yet so it's all specualtion essentialy.

    Also there is the trust thing: OpenAI does not need trust from people, other AI companies are for profit too and work just fine. Mastodon is build around the fact that it is different from things like twitter. If they start doing maliciuos stuff, they will loose trust and in turn their main selling point. Also openness.

    Also it is open source is it not? So any progress they have made can be used to create a competitor. Basically the whole business model is different.
