Why are they allowed to play the stock market? Is it not a conflict of interests? Edit: Typo

'Now we’re past the tipping point and have to simply endure living in an empire as it crumbles around us, while masses of rubes cheer their oppressors.' - I can still vote and will do everything in my power to tax the s**t out of those billionairs. So help me the flying spaghetti monster.

You do not have to be friends with anyone! :D

Elon you found the Virus in your brain. Now do "rm -rf /"!!!

Can you provide your source (no pun intended)?

Off-Topic but feel like it is important to share this: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/114590-000-A/abgehoert/ (various subtitles are avaible). It is a documentary made mostly of phone calls between Russian soldiers and their families and friends. It is hard to listen and watch, but if you want to really be able to feel what is happening there this is unpararelled.

"Wtf Proton is same of Zuckerberg & Musk" No it is not. Not even close.

I'm new.

I am no professional but:

This is what I have found about the governmance structure of OpenAI. It's complicated but basically the working company is a for-profit controlled by a non-profit, controlled by employees and other investors, the non-profit is also controlled by a board of driectors. Also it's all based in the US.

The Mastodon model is probably going to be a lot simpler and will probably not allow big investors to take ownership of the company. Also they are looking for a suitable country in the EU that will enforce the non-profit's obligations to the people. Being based in the EU is in itself a huge difference, and by choice. They have not set anything in stone yet so it's all specualtion essentialy.

Also there is the trust thing: OpenAI does not need trust from people, other AI companies are for profit too and work just fine. Mastodon is build around the fact that it is different from things like twitter. If they start doing maliciuos stuff, they will loose trust and in turn their main selling point. Also openness.

Also it is open source is it not? So any progress they have made can be used to create a competitor. Basically the whole business model is different.

Nobody had to go kiss the ring they payed for his campaign because THEY WANTED to please him. Edit: Typo

What are rubes in this context?

I am not an American and maybe do not understand how the political system operates. However I did not write that Trump is sticking it to the big guys. You are making something up there. If Trump chose a minister is not the minister responsible for listening to the industry? Yen's and Proton's position (taking this from the now removed Mastodon post) was/is that the Democrats chose Kamala instead of Bernie and Kamala's team did not listen. Trumps apointee did listen. If it were Bernie's team I am sure Proton would complement Bernie for choosing someone who listens. I just do not think this is a big deal.

Nobody is cozing up to fashist in any of the discussed posts. Your Data is encrypted with zero acces for Proton. If you use google they can read all of it. Google keeps logs on everything. Proton keeps no logs.

It was taken.

Check now.

First thing that comes to mind: That screenshot is conveniantly cut at the point where there would be an "x".

Second: The proton customer support can be shitty sometimes. In my experience if you get someone who responds with a name instead of "The Proton Team" you are in luck and your issue will be resolved to your satisfaction. If you get the standard "The Proton Team" answer it feels like they are using some cheap customer service provider, in which case I have already complained and they written me that they will find the person who contacted me (I assume to be able to complain to the customer service provider).

Third: The Proton Mastodon Account is not the right place to complain in the first place. If nothing else works (like contact mail a couple of times) then sure. I would write something like: "I have been having trouble with your customer support and want to speak to someone in charge about it, any help?", if they don't respond, shame on them, if they do, which they probably will because now it is their image on the line, all fine in my book.

I had an internship a couple years back at a web development startup that used it. Seemed to work just fine.
