  • They now have offices in the USA and if you look at what they say, they announce their operating under Swiss and USA law.

  • Under USA law proton cannot reveal some requests, or even talk about deeper collaboration.

    This is why some services use canaries. When something is removed from a page it can be assumed they are under a gag order. This has happened many times ,see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary

    By and large political opposition in an authoritarian country should not use tools under that jurisdiction.

    I would definitely base my email outside of that influence.

  • The important thing to me is not maliciousness, but reliability under political , social and legal pressure.

    All of this is hard to understand, much of what is happening is opaque.

    Also this does not apply to all people. Depending on hundreds of variables, one person’s issue is not relevant to another.

    I am in a country that can exert legal pressure on them; and so I cannot use their services

  • I have used them for php, ruby , database and c the last decade; spent thousands of hours using their editor.

    While I had several issues and reported bugs during that time, I had no breaking changes.

    Then last year I simply did not update at all. I rolled back to the last version in 2023 because the bugs from the new ai were so bad, I could not even copy paste without pasting as text only. Dozens of other new issues. Many of them, I think, only happened with large code bases.

    I lost confidence in them, I am still using the last version of last year, have not looked at the bs of latest version.

    Their code base was fragile, they always had issues after a major upgrade. But the new AI layer probably caused issues that will not be resolved, never mind the nonsense of whatever marketing is dictating this year

  • I turned it off in the options. It was too much energy for me to keep dismissing, parsing, or correcting.

    Even with it off, the autocomplete has been made less useful from previous years.

    Even worse, many other features, like highlighting and syntax parsing do not work as well with the AI turned all the way off. I finally found, with trial and error, a balance I could live with (allow it to run in background but limit what it displays to me)

    The only reason I have not permanently rolled back to the best version before last year is because of language and docker changes.

    But, I am ready to jump ship

  • Serial rapists like him can easily have over a thousand victims since he hit puberty. That works out to slightly more than one new victim a month.

    He is in the process of harming and killing so many orders of magnitude more people by both his direct and indirect actions.

    He is a rapist - probably still hurting people that way now; a thug and a murderer.

    People are concerned about his previous victims; and many more Americans are going to die or be hurt from him in the next three years. Including perhaps some reading this.

    Many people must believe in this system, often for deep seated needs. But these “machines” have no reasonable defense.

  • If a population in a democracy cannot insist on public counting of ballots, and instead rely on private companies to tell them who won.

    Then there is no hope for change until there is a complete replacement of the entire political class. And that can only happen in the future
