Thanks for the warning!

What’s in this folder? I’m just wondering, given your anti-AI profile picture. I hope it’s research on the impacts of AI and not a series of LLMs. Right? …Right?

Probably not, given their anti-user practices. The Software Freedom Conservancy is currently suing them over a license violation.

Yen should be fired. But what exists of their VPN codebase has survived some good audits so far, and I don’t have better options.

I agree. However, I think the best ways to fix Proton are to send endless complaints until Yen is removed or to establish better competition with stronger morals.

Personally, I will stick with Proton for now because they are the least fascist option I have found for my use case that suits my standards of security. As such, I would not consider myself able to cancel my subscription.

But I do deeply dislike their CEO, Andy Yen, and will send a complaint regarding his conduct and recommending his removal. He is a danger to his own company’s mission and to Proton’s user base.

I agree with everything you said in this post. I will add that:

• Proton’s insistance on using Electron applications for their “standalone” apps is a major issue as well.
• I recommend using LibreOffice instead of their rather trashy office suite.
• Lumo also needs to go. Ethical software cannot be developed with—or in support of—LLMs.

Edit: I see Lemmy has not forgiven me.

Downvoted because of the tab with an LLM.
