This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I already cancelled a couple of years ago when this same man posted a pro-Trump comment. That seems to have been forgotten about, some people dismissed it as just a comment, I've even been downvoted since for trying to warn people, and now look.
Same. Andy the chameleon slowly but surely revealing to be exactly the person he showed us he is. I believed him the first time.
That, plus the fact that they hand over data to cops with no warrant, and now this.. I made a Tuta account until I can figure out self hosted email. Proton was supposes to be the good version of Google.
Fire that loser, maybe then (some) people come back.
I'm so tired of this
Does anyone have VPN replacement recommendations? (Besides mullvad, already looking into them)
I believe AirVPN is a solid one, port forwarding support too.
I use Windscribe.
This is terrible, but what is even worse is that they partnered with a Zionist Swiss university, that supports Israeli military and out criminal sanctions against students protesting against the genocide of Palestinians.
This is the quoted article: https://www.404media.co/manifestos-fear-and-loser-thinking-inside-protons-ai-reckoning/
Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”
In a follow-up message, Yen reiterated his point: “only losers think like that.” His ultimate message for the team was to “stop lovingly handcrafting all our code and use AI more.”
I've been putting it off, because it took me more than a year to migrate away from Gmail. But this is hard to ignore. I'm tired, fam.
$1/month for a custom domain. One last migration. And then moving platforms is much easier because you don't need to change the email on every service.
That said, I still hear you.
Say and do stupid shit, get stupid prizes.
Proton's reputation has been getting shaky. First it was the poorly worded communication regarding support for Republicans. Then the privacy in question when they handed user's data over to authorities. Now this.
How's that for loser thinking, Andy?
Don't forget about Proton sponsoring Nazi YouTubers.
Yen's support for republicans wasn't poorly worded. He explicitly said they are for the little man while the democrats are for big business and praised one of trumps cabinet picks.
He's a piece of shit. Nothing about that was poorly worded.
