That is certainly a take, but an app is just one attack surface for interacting with a service, and is not inherently secure or insecure; who you trust with your data is the far more relevant part here.

And that also doesn't matter when you are forced to interact with a government service or essential utilities provider who then subsequently puts your data into the hands of the same high profit, low value shitware companies that have these agencies/organisations locked-in. What are you going to do then? Move to the woods?

No, it won't stop until there is real accountability with teeth. Punish these fuckers for their incompetence with actual jail time for directors, otherwise fines are just the cost of doing business.

Do you have any other sources beyond the one tweet bandied about to back this up?

I don't disagree with your statement, I'm just genuinely curious because I haven't heard much about his personal politics beyond that

Do you have any other sources beyond this one tweet (the very same one the poster you replied to mentioned)?

Counterpoint: HR for any company of a certain size is probably using AI or some sort of automated system to process job applications, so all doing them manually accomplishes is making one of you tired...

Unless this is a single-shingle Mom & Pop store and you are literally handing a paper application directly to the owner, save yourself the armwork and give them all the consideration they give you.

Don't get me wrong, the system is broken, HR is a disease, and AI is a grift.

My only regret is that I have only one upvote to give this post.

Just because I have the skills to setup a cluster of mini-pcs doesn't mean I want to spend my one-precious-fucking-spare-hour a day making the thing work.

Well if you make me actually explain it, I'm going to sound like an asshole

Too late muchacho... you're already giving real big superiority vibes here

It's right there in your copy-paste my dude, "BY DEFAULT".

The jackass(es) who actually was at risk went the extra step to enable IP address logging, which means that when Proton had to comply with a lawful court order, they actually had data to give.

Proton is a company like any other that has to comply with laws in the country they operate in, but unlike a lot of other companies, they don't log data UNLESS YOU ASK THEM TO.

Moral of the story is, like has oft been repeated, know your threat model and plan appropriately.
