How are people surprised? How is this news?
The second you mentioned Google you're talking about an all-seeing totalitarian state. Nothing you said about imbedding tracking links in docs is surprised. As a corporation they are always developing new ways to pimp you out and make you turn tricks for Google without you knowing while they keep all of the pay from your actiities.
Google tries to turn every human on the planent into their personal money making whore.
First choice is always talk on SimpleX, second is Signal/Molly for something easier, there is no other app that I use.
Did you run a progran to proactive zero out and wipe the whole drive like Parted Magic and then reboot system to load Windows boot media or did you use the Windows installer to only delete the partitions and install Windows again but not actively wipe the drive first?
For 10, unplug ethernet or do not connect to wi-fi and it should all you to continue or allow you to skip creating an MS account.
On the one system I use for gaming, before I install 10 which I have done a few times, I shutdown computer, physically unplug ethernet cable, then turn on computer and start the installation process, and I've created a local account everytime. Do not plug in cable or connect online until Windows has rebooted to the start desktop with Start menu. If you connect during installation it could force you to create online account.
It's the combination of requiring Proton servers and the fact that that there is no public release of server source code or specifying which open source software runs on Proton servers, amount to a type of vender lock-in
RiseUpVPN uses OpenVPN from Bitmask so everybody can duplicate the service using their own custom build version of OpenVPN to connect to RiseUp servers so their server's code is publicly accessible.
You found malware in the source code for RiseUpVPN? The source code is publicly accessible, what kind of malware is in it?
Accoding to F-Droid build service, it says ProtonVPN depends entirely on non-free network services, which means:
"This Anti-Feature is applied to apps that promote or depend entirely on a Non-Free network service which is impossible, or not easy to replace. Replacement requires changes to the app or service. This antifeature would not apply, if there is a simple configuration option that allows pointing the app to a running instance of an alternative, publicly available, self-hostable, free software server solution."
Compared to RiseUpVPN source code which has zero anti-features
Proton is trying to do too many things and can't excel at doing one thing. It's getting too big beyond its capabilities which means services are going to suffer at a lower quality.
If the want blanket trust from users, remove the VPN login to make it anonymous and change the VPN code to remove all anti-features and comply with native F-Droid, other RiseUpVPN is the only choice for everybody to use.
Stroganoff is quite good if cooked correctly, may I try a taste of it? I'm messing with you
Until any kind of crypto, whether it's bitcoin or something else, can be used to pay for groceries, electronics, furniture, cars, clothing, a house, all in crypto it will forever remain irrelevent.
We shall see how it fairs after all of servers update to it
When Proton has a single app available on native F-Droid wirh zero anti-features, not from a different repository,conly then will I use their services. I don't use anything from them now. No Protonmail, no VPN, I don't use them.
