    For the love of all gods, stop recommending Proton, it’s run by a fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards even more than Silicon Valley tech-bros. You might as well use American companies at that point.

      That’s strong accusations and the first I’m hearing of that. Do you have a source? Because the only controversy I know of is that their CEO praised Trump’s pick for attorney general for the antitrust division a bit too enthusiastically. Which is not a stellar look but that does not make him a „fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards.“

        The only place people are throwing up the whole Proton / Trump controversy is Reddit and Lemmy. Lemmy is particularly worse. As bad as the endless scrolling of Linux praise and Windows bashing.

        There’s an article somewhere where someone did a deep dive and ultimately concluded that the Protons CEO views do not coincide with that of Trump or his party.

          Would you have that link by any chance? That would be neat to use as a counter argument.

          Idk, it sounded more like „Man, that Hitler dude sure put the right guy in charge of the Autobahn network“.

          Unless that Attorney General is indeed comparable to Goebbels. I dunno, I don’t follow US politics that closely. Politics at home are already depressing enough.

            Edit: Also that only addresses his alleged fascism, but none of your claims about him being a cryptoscammer or against open standards.
