Yeah the CEO praised Trump's business acumen specifically while "remaining neutral". This has led people to believe their policies aren't as waterproof as they claim.
They also doubled down on it with the official proton accounts and left privavy-focused social media in favor of corporate censored social media, specifically.
Trump is good is the official position of the company now since they doubled down.
It really really calls into question if they are lying about their company's values and it is just marketing. People seem to give them extra leeway because they are swiss and the whole "neutrality" BS, but nestle is one of the worst companies in the entire world and they are swiss 😅
Swiss neutrality is a joke.
Neutral in that they will follow whoever's putting money in their pockets.
They helped immensely Nazi Germany during WWII, stalled shipment of military gear to Ukraine, shelter Russian money; and will probably follow whatever fascist gov the US will have in a few years.
For tech, Switzerland would be the last country I'd trust after CryptoAG and co.
The only truly "good" consumption is to only use local products ethically produced from members of your community. The further you get from that, the more opportunities for the transaction to stray from "not good."
It is very difficult or impossible to be 100% good.
When I consider this, my main concerns are "do I want to give money to this company?" and "is there a morally better alternative that meets my needs, including going without?"
Once you answer those questions for yourself, you should have a better idea if you want to continue doing business with them.
Honest answer? It makes it easy to release an application cross platform.
Personal / hot-take answer? Because we are human and our drive for mediocrity is astounding...especially when it can save a few bucks. Why make something good when you can make something less good faster and cheaper? That should be Electron's slogan.
I'm saddened by the amount of partisanism in the US these days. It's not because an idea is republican that it's bad, it's because these days, 99% of them are terrible and that most of them don't give a single flying fuck about science...
I mean, he agreed with trump on big tech being bad... As a FOSS defender, I don't particularly mind.
If he had been agreeing with Trump on immigration, the economy, the law or hairstyle, it would be an actual issue but I don't mind this. I would have hoped for it to have been another president to take them on, naturally, but still.
A broken clock is right twice a day. It's time we remind republicans we are the side of reason, logic and science by only attacking them on legitimate issues, of which there no shortage whatsoever...

His name is Jimmy McMillan and he's the leader of the Rent is Too Damn High party. Interestingly enough, Mr. McMillan has not paid rent for 45 years. That said, he's maintained that it is how high his disabled children's rent is as why he's chosen to make himself a political platform. For a vet with disabled children he's pretty active.
I hate the fact that when I bring people to their Proton therapy, it is mostly children. Since I hate that kids get cancer, I hate that they need Proton therapy.... No troll.
I had finally transitioned fully away from Google's shit and then you guys start bitching that Proton is evil.
I hate this site
I'm in the same boat, I'm not migrating again unless shit really goes downhill.
Lemmy gives the vibe of "it's all or nothing, be ready to change at a moment's notice if something iffy gets said"
Yes Lemmy is primarily used by people to the left of Bernie Sanders
Wait is we hate ?Proton VPN now

Neutrality for them is a marketing term.
Is it ok to use a good product even when the CEO is retarded or nah?

Do you have a good link to this info?
"Good" I'm not sure, but this is "a" link here There's also a Medium article with an opposite stance *edit for formatting

Here here!
Proton: Rocket go 🚀
Proton: go + (positive charge)
There's only one real Proton.
Captain Proton...! But I saw you fall into the fiery mouth of that volcano!
Username checks out.
And it's not even a new account.
I was saved at the last minute!
Let me sing it to you!
Mail
Also a car brand and a subatomic particle
neutrons and electrons reportedly very upset as well.
Well, one group was only neutral but the other was negative.
I'd be upset as well: https://www.electronjs.org/
When somebody says they like Proton:
Proton is very aladeen
At least none of them sucks quite like electron (the thing that bundles chrome to make "native" javascript applications)
Yeah why do we need electron

The CEO of proton(mail) is currently on a mission to destroy the company, so won't be too many for long.
Aw bummer, do you have any quick details? I'm out of the loop
He started sucking cheetos nob, even before it was cool and all the other businesses did.
Lol great way to put that thank you!
He tweeted once and is therefore canceled because social media doesn't understand nuance or context
Like the "Roman Salute" out of context, or actually out of context ?
I heard he tweeted in favour of one of the policy's the GOP implemented. What else has he done?
Stopped posting on Mastodon while continuing to post on X
What policy is it?
I'm saddened by the amount of partisanism in the US these days. It's not because an idea is republican that it's bad, it's because these days, 99% of them are terrible and that most of them don't give a single flying fuck about science...
Here's the tweet. It was not a policy per se but the appointment of Gail Slater.

It's literally a nothing situation that social media, in its drive to find outrage in every single thing, has blown completely out of proportion.
Malaysian Proton?
Sexy like can I import that oh fucking forget it
Yeah, around 10^80^ is quite a lot
Election: Shitty Web apps Proton: shitty Mail, VPN, Cloud storage Proton: Gaymes gooo brrrr (actually good) Proton: Go brrrrr (I’m gonna make a program called neutron lol, as soon as I stop procrastinating )
Where's the neutron love?
Not protons, but it's crazy to me that photons are everything that we see AND radio waves.
I keep seeing photons everywhere I go. Even more often that AI.

NMANFor those who are too young to know, this dude tried running for NY Governor. He had the best debates I have ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79KzZ0YqLvo

A true American hero.
There are trillions of trillions of them inside of me!
So they’re either particles or waves right?
Por que no los dos?
How very noble
why does he look like he should arrive in a small steampunk dirigible
I had an idea for a story about Steampunk Radical Reconstruction in 1880s and some of the characters I imagined looked like him, but with a top hat.
The top hat is really all this needs
I came for a meme about email or maybe video games i can't tell anymore.
Haha, I was just talking about the email and games use of the word but you all gave it a whole new spin ʘ‿ʘ
As a side note ... I personally hate "Proton" therapy. It serves a lot of children specifically. That, is truly awful!
You mean the cancer therapy?.... Why?
I hate when the kids get cancer.
It's a cancer treatment. It totally sucks when kids have cancer.
Hate the fact the kids have cancer in the first place. (Of course I empathize with adults, also) But, sick kids are a heart breaker.
I can understand the context is confusing.
I hate the fact that when I bring people to their Proton therapy, it is mostly children. Since I hate that kids get cancer, I hate that they need Proton therapy.... No troll.
I only troll MAGAts.
Just because the context wasn't clear to folks does not make me a "troll".
Cool your jets, cow.
To all those antitons out there: 🖕
