  • Google’s stated reasons are technical: MV3 is supposedly more secure (for data collection and ad delivery), more performant (for data collection and ads), reduces complexity (to collect your data and serve ads).

    There, I fixed it.

  • Is youtube a nazi platform, too? You can find all sorts of nazi bullshit there.

    Substack has plenty of good content creators.

  • So i’m moving to one of the new unifi doorbell lites until I find a better solution, or bite the bullet and buy a higher end one.

    I really wish they made the Lite with wifi capabilities. I would love to run a POE doorbell, but renting makes that very difficult, and the regular doorbell price is comically obscene.

  • I've got the OG UDM trash can as well. It's been doing the thing just fine since 2020.

    Moved to a bigger place a few years ago and recently added a Wifi 7 AP to resolve poor wifi coverage in certain areas. Works great, no complaints. Probably gonna get another Wifi 7 AP so I can just shut off the radio in the router itself, ease the load a bit.

  • Andy Yen promoting the Trump administration in late 2024

    Andy publicly supported ONE person in the admin who ended up being ousted anyway for not kowtowing to Trump's bullshit.

    This is nowhere near the same thing as supporting the whole admin.

    The official Proton account doubling down on these statements including praise of JD Vance

    What you consider "praise" was nothing more than a simple statement of fact:

    "At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance."

    That is an objectively factual statement. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong. The rest of the comment prior to the edit was factual as well.

    And if you really want to dig deep - they weren't wrong about the Dems, either.

    The people who run Proton are not based in the US and do not carry US-centric viewpoints. For a large amount of the civilized world, the US's entire history is nothing more than a footnote. Keep that in mind next time you take major offence to a valid external viewpoint.

    A string of cases where Proton worked with law enforcement in a way that breaks its advertised promises

    Proton is a Swiss company, therefore they are legally obligated to comply with Swiss law. This includes handing over any data requested when legally subpoenaed.

    Being not quite forthcoming about its business structure

    You know you can just link to the actual source instead of one creator's personal opinion. Proton is very up front about how it operates, it's spelled out pretty clearly in that document.

  • None of those are mutually exclusive from having to comply with the federal side of Swiss law. They are correct in that Swiss privacy laws are far better than that of the US. But any company operating in any locale is legally obligated to comply with the local laws.

  • True, but it's not just ML.

  • It appears to be OC from ML? So there must be some kind of “crush the west” angle to this.

    This shit going around about Proton is 100% FUD. They are one of the most widely known privacy-focused cloud services providers.

  • I guarantee it's the same kind of situation as the French dude, if there's any merit to this at all.

    Honestly, gotta hand it to the russian botnet spreading FUD about Proton. Proton is 100% the most widely known privacy-focused cloud service provider right now, so it only makes sense to discredit them where/when/however possible, and it's predictably getting the paranoid people riled up. Take some innocuous thing (Proton's "partner" program that literally anybody can sign up for, including right-wing politicians, without vetting) and blow it wildly out of proportion. Very simple, very effective.

    I'm not saying Proton is perfect, but this is excessive. Apple, Google, Meta, etc all do way worse and yet there is very little outcry in comparison to this.

  • British company headquartered in London

    Well that explains a lot. Fucking nanny state.

  • Proton encrypts your emails. Clients like Thunderbird aren't capable of handling that (yet).

  • Ohhhhhhhhhh

    Man I need to read better

  • So does KDE Connect. It's a standalone program that happens to also be integrated into the KDE DE.

  • I'm aware, but some devices I use regularly like an iPhone, work computer, etc, are limited in their capacity to run it.

  • It's not that complicated. New user gets an answer, feels like the post isn't relevant anymore, and deletes it without thinking.

    Still a massive dick move, but still.

  • You can use KDE Connect itself without KDE.

  • PC to phone:

    • USB cable
    • KDE Connect
    • Nextcloud
    • Syncthing

    PC to PC:

    • USB drive
    • SFTP
    • SSH
    • Nextcloud
    • Syncthing

    Phone to PC:

    • USB cable

  • Hardly.

    Curtis Yarvin and his associates have talked to FUTO and attempted to pitch Eron on investing in his tech startup Urbit. Yarvin also sat down and talked to Eron about issues relating to technology. Eron did not agree to fund their work and did not find their pitch to be particularly compelling. That is the extent of FUTO's relationship with Yarvin and Urbit.
