    As I mentioned more in detail in other post, Proton is not the pro-MAGA many had misinterpreted. It is just sloppy at the marketing campaign and its leader with statements that can easily misunderstood.

    That said, Proton has decided to aim for the masses, which has proven to be a winning formula. However, in that quest, it’s natural that concerns from top-tier privacy users (Linux users, those wanting non-Google push notifications, etc.) get relegated in favor of the bulk of their target customers, the regular Joe who simply wants to move away from email and web traffic scraping. We should all applaud that decision, but we also recognize the limitations and risks of having a single company holding some 80% of this privacy market. It would be better to foster a healthy, diverse, and more equitable privacy ecosystem.

            I love that the comment explaining it already existed when you wrote this. No, it couldn’t be that you were out of line! It had to just be the liberals!

            As a leftist, maybe shut the fuck up sometimes. Maybe you aren’t always the smartest person in the room, and complaining about stuff that isn’t even relevant is, at best, annoying, if not actively harmful because people will ignore it when it is relevant.

              As a leftist,

              This expression is so liberal. Your identity, or mine, doesn’t mean much. And liberals and the true left have different views on leftism. The imperialist Bernie Sanders is from the phony left.

              As for the post, “They hate Jesus because he told them the truth”. As an atheist.

          Maybe because it’s a bit like if someone said “I got the test results, I don’t have cancer”, and that dude replied with “the fact that you think cancer is the only danger you should be concerned about is telling”.

          Sure, it’s technically correct, but it’s obnoxious and, without any further context, just seems to be off-topic.
