No worries. As mentioned, I trust Proton at the moment because they are regularly audited, and as far as I know, the audits have always upheld the claims Proton has for things like no logging, actual e2ee encryption on their emails, etc…
That doesn’t mean I like or agree with Yen’s comments, but the truth is, there is no ethical consumption in capitalism. I could switch to some other vpn and a different mail server, but it’s likely to just be another problematic company with problematic people.
I want to preface this question by saying that I’m not trolling and I’m not defending Proton. I’m genuinely confused at the reaction to this article.
I’m also upset with Proton’s recent comments, specifically the December tweet and subsequent responses, and I’m evaluating my use of Proton.
Near as I can tell, this article (which I did read) lays out the facts about Deepseek as an LLM originating in China and the implications of that.
Why is this article a reason to pile on proton?
Thank you. I’m going to check them out. Appreciate the links and info!
I’m not 100% sure if you mean what do I think makes proton untrustworthy, or what do I think makes other vpns untrustworthy?
If you’re referring to proton, some of the statements Andy Yen have made recently are painting proton as less neutral than they claim to be.
I’m also generally aware that a LOT of vpn outfits are just a different company mining your traffic and data, and that there are few “no log” vpns that you can trust.
Despite their recent statements that sour my taste in giving proton money (and the ai bullshit that every goddam company is shoving down our throats), I trust proton when they say no logs. They’re regularly audited for it.
I don’t trust all these other VPN companies that claim to be no log and have nothing to back them up. Especially when several of them have been caught logging and mining/selling the data they claim to not be logging.
Can you easily get config files to set up wireguard without having to use their app? Secondarily to that, how easy is their port forwarding setup?
I’m considering leaving proton too. The two things I really care about are simplelogin and the VPN with port forwarding. As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding
Thank you. I’ve saved the link and will be disabling it next time I log in. Can’t fucking escape this AI/LLM bullshit anywhere.
wait, what? How did I miss that? I use protonmail, and I didn’t see anything about an LLM in the mail client. Nor have I noticed it when I check my mail. Where/how do I find and disable that shit?
You more elegantly said what I came to say.
Came to say something similar. Like I give a fuck that OpenAI’s model/tech/whatever was “stolen” by Deepseek. Fuck that piece of shit Sam Altman.
I have this OWC Mercury Pro, which I purchased after going through several cheap ones from amazon that kept dying on me. So far it’s been great. I’ve been using it to rip my cd & dvd collection. FWIW I’m running Fedora 41 and it works great.
I believe this is a Mastodon post that’s also federating to lemmy

There’s a bunch more that I can’t think of that I use, but the above list is the stuff I rely on and use every day.
Oh! Nice! I missed the missing a. Whew.
Ugh. When did that happen? I’ve been running radicale on my server for years for my calendars. Guess I’ll have to find another caldav server.

What apps are you using?
Also using caldav and I’m missing a decent macos client and/or web facing client I can self host for tasks.
I’ve been using Joplin for years. I self host Joplin server for sync as well. Join does support offline use. Each device has a local copy of the notes and if you’re offline you can use the app to access and edit existing notes as well as creating new ones. When you regain a connection the sync will automatically update the notes and those updates will proliferate to any other devices with Joplin
