This.

But I'll enable the feature if someone wants to create a new one. I'd leave it open but I'm not around enough to feel comfortable doing it, because people will create dumb shit and post it on other sites trying to get this place shut down.

Last time I pitched the idea for asking for community help running this place, people acted like I was personally inviting spooks to help moderate stuff.

So it's sort of a lose lose from a management perspective. I'd like to see this place be more active but the reality is I'm just one person and run a business and work a regular part time job and try to do that while balancing a normal life.

Proton is the end of a long-overdue overhaul of the UI to fit with the modular, quicker backend, if I understand it correctly. The addon API was more painful but similar. Both should have happened a long time ago, and would have saved countless developer time spent on the old codebase.

They could have done it all at once with a full experimental browser again, which is what Phoenix originally was. But that doesn't fit with the branding and telemetry obsession Mozilla has.

It's not as bad as they make it out.

Isn't it because Firefox is made by Mozilla who is paid by Google who created their very own spyware Chromium and has an interest since then to slowly strangle the life out of Firefox?

It all started around 2011 and all the decisions since then cannot be explained away with coincidence or mere incompetence.

Fuck him. His goons can come to my house and shoot me and vaccinate my dead body. Not. Taking. It.

For now, I'll be shopping at small businesses with under 100 employees and buying from local farmers. That's where people will have to be employed after getting fired from big companies, so they need the business. Guessing the small businesses will eventually be required to mandate the shots too but that will at least give laid off people a temporary place to be employed while they learn how to grow, raise, and hunt their own food.

To be fair, if you're the type of person who may draw any amount of attention to yourself then it's really up to you to use the tools made available to you to keep yourself private.

Sounds like they didn't utilize the onion service. Sounds like they didn't do enough on their own to protect themselves.

While I know this looks bad for ProtonMail, the reality is that service providers aren't investigative units and can only share what information you give them to share when given a lawful order to do so.
