It was blown out of proportion and misinterpreted in places yeah, but it's reddit... it wasn't a good look at all though and he shouldn't have said it. The real problem I have with Proton is all this time investment in useless features, like AI. Instead of focusing on a few products.

Tuta I am in the process of trying, it's got a slow and dated interface vs Proton, but still functional. It's slightly cheaper vs Proton too. I'm still debating if I go Proton or Tuta + Mullvad.

It has been eight months, but what did you decided to go with? I am currently on the same page with you where I am making a decision whether I should go with Proton (Pass Plus) or Tuta + Mullvad.

[โ€“] warm@kbin.earth 2 points 2 days ago

Maybe to the dismay of people in this thread, I went with Proton. It just feels more robust than Tuta and I liked the inclusion of Simple Login for throwaway email addresses.

I only use their email, calendar and VPN services, so I cant comment on the rest, but I'm happy with my subscription.

i remember when it happened

didnโ€™t he double down with justifications instead of flat out separating himself from the claim?

this pretty much matches my memory

https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarchism/comments/1id5v21/does_proton_really_support_trump_a_deeper/mbfaw4e/

it was more Libertarian delusion than directly Trump supporting but it was pretty concerning regardless

i wonder how many readers came in after shit got white washed

[โ€“] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

He doubled down and then proton left mastodon and exclusively posts on Reddit and Twitter now.

Fuck that pathetic behaviour

Not to mention the shutdown of the mastodon account, lack of Linux drive and the allegations of vibe-coding.

[โ€“] baines@lemmy.cafe 7 points 8 months ago

vibe coding non-ironically is just so confusing

anyone that has done any debugging knows there is no way this works
