Since you asked...

Balance:

a) damage done by another Trump presidency

vs

b) damage done by demonstrating to the ruling class that you'll give them whatever they want so long as you genuinely fear one of the candidates

Tough call. I wish each and every one of you who has a say in this clairvoyance beyond mine.

There's something sad about society losing a such a unique source of knowledge, but hopefully we've collectively learned something about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.

Anyone found a reliable way to search across Lemmy instances they can share?

After the changes to their TOS I lost any trust I had in Proton

Proton AG lost me as a customer the minute they backdoored a binding arbitration clause into their TOS last year.

The difficulty of proving damages in breach of privacy cases combined with generally weak privacy legislation globally means the threat of a class action often serves as one of the only practical deterrents to abuses of power by corporations controlling sensitive personal information. By changing its terms of service, Proton essentially immunized itself from suffering any significant penalty in the event its negligence leads to a mass breach of privacy of its users.

Tactics like the use of binding arbitration clauses are hallmarks of inherently untrustworthy corporations.

Pretty sure this is just privacy washing. The real issue here is censorship.

Highly recommend pairing this with David Allen's GTD and Rainer König's excellent course Getting yourself organized with Org-mode
