21·4 months agoUgh. My Obi-wan moment or something. ‘You were the Chosen One Proton!’
Agreed on the stupidity. He should have had PR running his accounts or at least approving his posts. But now that the cat is out of the bag I’m really conflicted about being a Proton Visionary subscriber, and try to use other services like Filen, Cryptpad, Bitwarden, Aegis, etc, so I’m not all concentrated on Proton like I was on Google Suite.
I just made a Tuta mail account for if I do decide to move away from Proton.
I have similar conflicted feelings after being a long time Visionary Subscriber.
There’s a lot more nuance to it than just ‘Proton CEO supports Trump (and therefore all of Trump’s policies)’
From the comments: “Andy’s statement was to recognise the choice of the Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust division at DOJ. This is someone who has history of going after tech monopolies and allowing room for the little guys (startups) to have a fair chance to grow and innovate. This was not a political endorsement.”
And at the very least the CEO controversy reveals all the issues with America’s two party Sith or Jedi system, there’s no room for nuance or discussion, just rage. Look at all the other top comments here.
Their recruitment practices are also profit-seeking. Job applications require your salary expectations and they don’t post their salary range.
My ex kept her’s in an unprotected excel file. I never peeked, I was just surprised when I saw her accessing it on her laptop.
Instead of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it’ll be 6 degrees and we’re all bakin’
More than meets the eye 😏

I could see them all coming out ahead in some other way, tax minimization, write downs/write offs, other financial methods not accessible to normal people that don’t have a fleet of accounts and tax lawyers on retainer. And they’ll all be ready to profit massively during and after any future crash.
The cynic in me says that they all have a bunch of call/put options, algorithmic high frequency trading and dark pools at the ready, or other bets that’ll make them massively rich and any upcoming stock market crash is calculated and planned by influencing a bought president. Maybe that’s giving them too much credit but the people that advise these billionaires and the president are definitely ready to profit off of whatever is coming.

How does this work with all the plastic surgery going on and people changing their faces for vanity?
