Thank you for posting this. I’m so tired of 1 imbecile writing something and a flock of single-minded quacks just following the narrative to soil anyone’s reputation (like this case with Proton, for example).
I honestly could not give less fucks if Andy was Trump’s lover, Proton still has a bulletproof tested and confirmed record in terms of privacy. It took me 2 years to finally finish fully researching Tuta, Proton, disroot and others to end up choosing Proton for my family, and I have no regrets, specially since the UX was the only one my wife would accept to agree to finally remove Google entirely from her life (she was fucking paying for Google 1,imagine that) and it’s been a great experience (so far).
I’m not saying that Proton services are any type of silver bullet, and under no circumstances should we forget that they are a corporation, and thus, there’s certainly some hidden shit we probably won’t like about them if they came to light, but we all need to stop following 1 post without doing our own research before we decide if we agree or not.
What’s more, while I hate a lot of shit about Trump’s train of thought (and don’t get me started on Musk, whom I see as way worse that Trump), I honestly believe that the only alternative to this presidential term, Harris, would have been a way worse outcome for the US. I may be wrong, but every time I pictured that woman running the most powerful economy and military in the world, all I could see was total anarchy, and that serves no good purpose for anyone in the US or the rest of the world, it would be chaos.
Trump is the definition of an asshole, and so is probably 90% of his cabinet and the rest of the Republicans. Does what I said in my last paragraph make me a Trump supporter? Yes, it does, if you didn’t read the rest.

It was a really stupidly worded comment on his part. If he meant Big Tech and Little Tech spwcifically rather than Big Business in general and individual people, his choice of words and the claim that the tables had “completely turned” are really unfortunate. Tagging the annoying orange directly also doesn’t help make this look like it’s about the pick, rather than the picker.
As an aside, forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm until I see her actually pull something through and not just end up another way to cripple ElMo’s competition.
