Yup, it was shitty of the CEO to praise Trump’s pick for FTC and the republican party in general. He was clearly sucking up to Trump. But he also did not remove a bunch of holidays from the calendar and reiterated they will continue ignore subpoenas from the US. I don’t like what he said (and I had a talk with my partner about whether we should look elsewhere) but that is not bending the knee. It is a push and pull in regards to consuming products from awful companies and fulfilling needs. As long as they keep not complying with the US, I am tentatively going to stay with Proton. If you don’t agree, that’s fine, but no need to be a jerk about it.
Hey man, I wasn’t trying to be a jerk, I was trying to make a joke. Sorry if it came off badly, probably not my best phrasing. I guess there’s a joke to be made about my jokes in there somewhere.
Truth be told, I’m salty about proton, not necessarily about what the ceo said (that too), but its like a canary in the mine, isn’t it, a portent of things to come. So many companies are bending the knee, ufortunately.
I used to pay for proton becase it saved me time and piece of mind, now since I left I have to self-host everything, because I no longer want to move my shit around every time something goes the way of enshittification. That means time and effort spent on setting up and maintaining everything. Its a chore.
Thats why I made the joke the way I did, because I’m salty, I didn’t cook it proper. You have a good one and take care out there stranger.
Appreciate the thoughtful response, and I get it. We all are trying to get by the best we can, and corpos are not making things easy. Have a good one too
I just switched from my Proton package of services to alternatives. For mail and calendar, I went with Tuta and I’m surprised by how ignorant I had been to their functionality - really good!
Congrats! From one trump kneebender right to the other. Is this a speedrun attempt?
