  People and businesses will ditch US platforms

  That’s a bold one. Hope it’s true

      I think the “bold” part comes from claiming it will happen in any significant numbers. They’ve done this before and then gone crawling back a couple years later.

  Imagine not predicting 2026 the year of the linux desktop

    Right? It completely removes their credibility

  Wish proton would focus on fixing some of the issues with their mail system in 2026. The fact that some issues have been open for years, with no movement, while they launch crap like an AI assistant, is disappointing

  “Proton spends time predicting the future of the internet while ensuring the eatshitification of its own products and ignoring long standing issues”

  We have seen that coming for months, no need to write an article about it.

    An article about it is very much appreciated. It’s difficult to see things coming when there is no information available.

    Which prediction are you referring to?

    • whereIsTamara@lemmy.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      All of them are pretty much obvious.

    • The EU will keep pushing to break encryption: like they have been doing for years?
    • More age verification laws: yeah, more, that is obvious too that they won’t stop
    • More efforts to block VPNs: after scanning phones locally and remotely to “think of the children” and wanting to spy on every messaging service, VPN were obviously the next step (even more obvious because they want to stop piracy, not protect children)
    • An AI agent will go terribly wrong: after the suicide, telling you to cook pasta with gas, and other brainwashing stories?
    • Prediction markets in everything: has been happening for centuries
    • People and businesses will ditch US platforms: no shit, with all the websites about moving away from the US and using E2E encrypted services in Europe, wow, that’s on the same level as a fake psychic
