I read the title and thought proton had a data breach.
It was the scariest thing I saw this Halloween season.
This looks like it’s only for Proton Pass for Business.
Oh goody, yet another service that diverts resources away from supporting linux.
Linux is a minority of their audience and it is good that their prioritize majority, to help most people.
How about proton fires Andy and grows some balls and apologizes publicly on mastodon instead of hiding on Reddit.
“10 months ago Andy said, one specific thing Rump did wasn’t entirely bad for everyone. He needs to be fired!”
Followed by the company doubling down, deleting their mastodon account and making official announcements on Reddit instead of making a proper statement and facing the backlash on mastodon like adults.
Yah. What he said wasn’t technically wrong. And the backlash here was unreasonably extreme.
The Fediverse is small enough that we’re easy to ignore. So why would they deal with that level of shit?

Can you explain exactly what he said, and exactly how it was technically wrong?
You know, without moral judgment. Just the literal facts.Because as I recall, my reaction was that what Rump did, was in it’s full context a bad thing, but specifically for those Andy was referring to, it might be good for them. So Andy was pretty tone-def, and clearly going to piss off people who have a hard time separating fact from moral judgment (most people). But maybe I’m wrong. I know I don’t remember it all perfectly.

“ current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin. “
Andy seems to have forgotten that Trump’s Attorney General William Barr tried to force backdoors in encryption.
It’s not only “tone deaf” as you put it, it’s a blatant lie to kiss up to the Nazi boot.
You’re conflating or combining two separate things.
Specifically, the antitrust actions against big tech were started (in a very limited way) under Rumps first term.
But forcing backdoors into encryption, aren’t antitrust actions.
*a pair
