For 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
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.
A true American hero.
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 ?
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
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.
Yeah, around 1080 is quite a lot

NMANNot 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.
Where’s the neutron love?
Thought you’d never ask. https://youtu.be/i-jdhorGtQI?t=17
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
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
Yeah, just wait until you get a load of the number of things called “One.” Here’s a hint: It’s a lot more than one.
Atomic Nucleus (n): the roiling maelstrom of insanity at the bottom of reality.
To all those antitons out there: 🖕

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”
Nothing is perfect, every step in the right direction should be celebrated.
Well done!!
Yes Lemmy is primarily used by people to the left of Bernie Sanders
Wait is we hate ?Proton VPN now
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.Neutrality for them is a marketing term.
Ugh. Any recs on good and free vpns?
Is it ok to use a good product even when the CEO is retarded or nah?
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.
I think it’s okay; as far as companies go they’re pretty good, and they actually care about privacy which is nice.
