  • I don't necessarily think China is as bad as we make it out to be. What major country doesn't have their gov spying on them?! I would almost argue that the US has more surveillance tech on its citizens than any other developed country. Based on how much tech we know exists and can assume exists that we don't know about, plus, with how much the US involves itself in other countries business, it'd be no surprise how much they know about everyone else domestically.

  • Could you explain? Why would that set us back? You mean if Paramount wins?

  • I'm sorry, why are these people still running the country??? Dude, my worst fellow employee or customer I've ever had, to run this country over these idiots!! JTFC!

  • Oh dang! I didn't realize! Thanks for bringing that up good sir.

  • Organic maps found on F Droid, download the state or area you want so is available offline. Won't do traffic obviously, but gets you a to be.

  • Woo hoo! Something new to be paranoid about!

  • Hello, wife?

  • I've called them Gooplesoft now.

    Check out Mistral if you want a good nonUS AI.

  • That's funny! I've thought about that too. Since most of them won't have ID or any way to show who they are, you'd blend in

  • I never said first, nor only.. Just pointing out that we outnumber them, we have the ability to meet force with force, and they'd quickly be discouraged from wanting to go back to work for fear of violence against them.

    They need to know we're not weak, and that is why I think, that they think they can do what they want and get away with it. They're the wasps and we're the bees. They're only going to get away if so much until we have no other choice!

  • When can the military steps in to defend us from threats - mainly domestic- namely being Trump's absolute abuse of power?!

  • I'm not condoning violence nor is this a call to action, god forbid(got banned from reddit for "violence" against AI by the modbot lmao), but it'd be a darn shame- a tragedy rather- if someone stood up to ICE with the same force they've been using.

    This is why the 2nd amendment exists. This right here. I bet most those plate carriers aren't even stuffed with plates with all the new agents wearing them because there'd be a shortage. Either way, we outnumber all those agents, and all it takes is meeting force with force! I'm also pretty sure all video evidence would be quickly deleted by bystanders lol.

    Again, a real shame... But it's coming sooner rather than later.

  • They might be concerned, but they're more worried about fitting in with the masses than actual privacy.

  • We need to be done with protests and move on to national strikes! Disrupt their supply of cash, tank stocks, fuck the market!!

  • Ok, thank you. A sensible response.

    I think their appeal and approach is to target newbies to the whole privacy thing. They can replace much of the "Gooplesoft" ecosystems (just made that up that word lol) with their own version, offer support for those who're learning/trucks migrating, etc. Maybe they overheard someone talk about it, are curious, or don't know all the terminology in the FOSS community, or get overwhelmed easily.

    I will forever plug Proton (unless they change) to friends and family as it's a "big name" doing big tech, better.. then they have proton support to rely on, not me lol.

  • Hahaha, please, do share why their products suck, especially the people running it! I'd love to hear something fresh other than claiming the CEO is some trumpster because of some ruin fill interpretation of a god damn tweet... Petty

  • Lol at you both! First, I think you need help with your dictionaries because you're using the complete wing terminology.... That or you're super dramatic calling it ransomware LMAO. You're probably also those types who jump to comment at anything CG just to post AI slop... Like how back in the day it was cool to post "first" on something.

    There are free tiers and paid tiers, and sounds like OP was trying to work around those free tiers to get a few extra benefits. If not, and genuinely trying to use a certain way, why not contact support to try and get access to that data even temporarily, or go to community forum to see if it's by design? Why not look for a proper resolution vs just complaining about it?

    BTW I can completely understand the frustrations, but you gotta also understand not every single company or dev is going to use the same exact method, designs, goals, etc. Proton, starting from scientists not business entrepreneurs. They decided to build a suite of apps as alternatives to the popular big brother versions, the paid tiers help support the free ones so everyone could have access. The money also helps fund staff support, devs, qa, etc. Just saying. There's a lot more polish on those apps than pretty much any actually free and private so out there. And having the support there to answer questions vs rely solely on wordy documentation or community forums is now speaking to the average Joe.

  • So then, like many people, make the switch without being so vocally negative? Or post a comparison on how KeePass vs Proton- KP wins, etc.

    Even more, Proton and other companies like them are a good popular gateway to introduce "the masses" to privacy and what it feels like to reclaim their personal lives. It also gives them a "big" name they can put some faith into that the apps will work/won't crash, and aren't invasive. So much other marketing and money is spent telling everyone the little guys are the hackers and data thieves, etc. So don't trust them. So, the mentality is hard to shake.

    I sound like the kind of person who understands how business models work (to an extent). Not every single person is going to setup full homelab environments to run all these locally hosted services, or spend a while researching and testing various FOSS applications to try and get "the very best"one. You sound like the kind of person who has a very stern opinion and gets upset when others don't agree or your shouting doesn't get them to understand why an alternative is better.

    I work with a lot of users who don't understand the basics of privacy or how data is sucked up at every corner of the Internet. I slowly plant the seeds to show them big names aren't always better. Little by little they're finding these things (popular little guys) on their own, and in that discovery keeps their interests piqued vs being told what to do.

  • Ok, but that's sort of extreme, because I could buy, RIGHT now, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz for about $140. You're showing off a retailer and/or brand that are gouging, just to prove a point.

    Now, yes there's a difference, because this is so-dimm for laptops vs standard desktop, but Newegg and Amazon are both gouging process pretty bad right now. But deals can still be found!

    Edit apples to apples (though my post is 3600MHz)
