Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.

Why can't we have nice things?

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.

Damn, this sucks. I fled Google for Proton and use it for email, files, and my own domain email.

Hypothetically, if Hitler saved a child from being hit by a car would you publicly sing Hitlers praises and be happy to make positive quotes about it?

Does being on the right side of a single issue negate everything else?

This is in reference to Trump, yes, not Andy Yen?

I am not a security expert, but I remember reading Proton is not really secure?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

In what way?

Asolute security doesn't exist, it's always a trade-off with cost, time investment, and convenience.
