When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb
That the democrats don't stand for the little guys anymore is something I agree with, but to then say the republicans do is wild

Damn, and I just switched to proton because they have port forwarding and moderate NAT so that I can effectively seed torrents.
I wouldn’t say he embraced Trump, I’d say he is pro-breaking big tech, since that would probably help Proton.
Bernie Sanders even came out and said “hey, if Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates, I’m with him on that.”
Trump says a lot of shit to appeal to working class people. I don’t disagree with reminding him of what he said and holding him to those things, if he’s now going to be president.
If they had just said "this is a good selection for AG" and left it at that, I wouldn't be too upset, but he's painting broad strokes about the democratic party as a whole.

Damn, not a great start to 2025 but I guess migrating away from Proton will be this month's project.
Any good alternatives that have the password/identity manager and email? I'm ready to switch.

Goddammit, and I just signed up for a Duo account during their sale last year to try and de-google me and my partner's life.
Ugh, I guess it's still better than Google too, but I won't be migrating to their password manager or vpn. Now I have to fully anticipate leaving Proton ASAP as well. It's even more of a pita for my partner though, she's not a techie, part of the proton appeal was that the apps and integrations make switching convenient for her.
So fucking typical, I miss the "Don't be evil" days when engineers at least pretended to care about social issues and sometimes even actually did.

I can't catch a break.
EDIT: Nope. It's my fault. I was warned about Proton, and I didn't listen. I deserve this.
Warned by, how? A brief sentence with no citations would be enough for me.
There're plenty of posts on Lemmy about Proton being shady sometimes. No Linux apps, creating a crypto app, and now this.

Damn, disappointing.
