Well yeah he did support a Trump statement and went out of his way to do it. Later stupidly doubled down on it by using the official response.

But, and this might be because I am not American and live in a country where politics aren't so black and white, but I fail to see how that means you are a MAGA nut/Trump supporter or what not. Especially not because he hasn't taken action (will be hard to do anyway since he is not American).

And there is a strong governance structure with Andy Yen only having 33% power on final says since he is 1 of 3 people in the Proton Foundation which is the shareholder of the Proton company.

I don't brush anything under the rug. I actively shared the Tweet that started this hole BS.

Well fair, maybe I should have shown their response. They doubled down on it, but they also deleted it. Both of the American parties are a shitshow, but then again America is just corrupt anyway. Trump didn't even have 50% of the votes.

Saying "Proton = Maga" or whatever doesn't shed light on the issue either. In the end I believe more in actions than words (and i have faith in a decent governance structure) and I believe that people should take their own conclusion on the matter based on the Tweet and well yeah I should start linking the Reddit post again.

The moment Proton itself starts to fuck things over I am out of there as well, but currently I prepaid just before this came to light, but I use my own domain so mhe

You mentioned almost nothing? Tuta can even more easily change their privacy policy. Not saying Tuta isn’t the right choice, but it’s worse than a lot of people make you think it is

Proton is not responsible for everything Andy Yen does, Andy Yen has to take responsibility for everything Proton does.

But his power is limited anyway since there is a governance structure by using the non profit that is shareholder of Proton. This is not America.

Tuta is located in Germany which has more power to look into your data than the Swiss government, but it's mhe.

Also what separation of power do you mean? Proton is also owned by a non profit and Tuta is just a Gmbh which is owned by two individuals it seems. Changing something regarding the non profit or the structure is pretty hard to do

Tuta is however more open with that you can find their annual report or at least part of it if you want.

Many of those are caused by people having insecure accounts without enabling 2FA etc. And there is a lot of money involved, even the top TF2 accounts are worth tens of thousands of euro's

Proton didn't decide anything, Andy Yen posted ONE tweet and then doubled down on it with the Proton Reddit account which was deleted.

I know the US is really into this "us vs them" or Republicans against the Democrats or whatever you want to and that is fair, that's how US policies sadly work which is also one of the reasons why the country is basically corrupt. For most people agreeing with one statement a politician made doesn't mean anything. I can agree with some things Geert Wilders said, but that doesn't mean Ill vote for him.

There are other articles about the whole situation, but I believe that the Tweet says more than the bullshit some people have been shouting on every post regarding Proton. Share the Tweet yes, but don't share the bullshit.

Yeah no problem, everybody is allowed to make their own decisions, but I feel like everybody should at least see the actual Tweet.

Edit: apparantly people don’t want the truth to be shared? Share the dang Tweet people.

Agreeing with a statement from a politician doesn't mean you support that politician, that's how compromises can even start.

But Any Yen isn't in politics, let alone US politics, he is just an idiot.

This articles goes a bit more into it, but it is also an opinion. Don't use Proton if you don't want to idc: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

What does politics even have to do with a ruling like this? Isn't the law separated from the government in the US? Or is the US just a corrupt country that allow people to influence the judges ruling to impact the lawsuit in a certain outcome ... O wait ...

Proton itself never directly commited on anything from Trump in a positive way.

Their current CEO Andy Yen posted this Tweet. Yes he is an idiot and even doubled down on it with the Proton account Now I am not from a country with a 2 party system, but last time I checked agreeing with one statement from somebody doesn't mean you support them. Heck finding common ground is often a way to find compromises.

Do what you want and don't support them if you don't want them, but don't act like the company Proton is a Trump supporter. Heck there are a lot of articles on the Proton site which are pro privacy and pro consumer.

This article goes into it some more, please pick your own opinion: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

To be fair I don’t live in the US so it’s entirely possible that it hasn’t even been mentioned in my circles.

Dual booting Linux and Windows can really help to move your operation to Linux. I have been using Linux machiens besides my main for a while and now in the proces of moving to Mint. I won’t be able to move everything and some things are more annoying (like Nvdia GPU drivers), but the vast majority is easy. Especially because most people these days work in browsers for the most part. I (and probably you from the sound of it) are one of the few who still use a lot of desktop apps.

You are missing the point and for some reason bring up the non updating.

It’s about the switching from something you know and customized for 10 years to something new.

I disagree it’s a different problem, it’s the same problem besides the gender.

It has been a bit since I tried it, but things like not having the buttons in the same place is annoying when teacher others. PowerQuery and Microsoft Scripts (what replaced VBA) are some things will probably be missing

Not sure I know exactly what you mean with what Terry Crews did.

I know you didn’t mention it for nefarious reasons or anything. I just wanted to mention it :P

And yeah we should all respect eachother.

I prefer the desktop app, but things like powerquery won’t work to its fullest online

That’s not even a discussion if it was or wasn’t update
