The Proton CEO Andy Yen tweeted support for Trump’s Department of Justice pick last year and a shitstorm suddenly appeared.

It was a pretty tone-deaf tweet, but it most certainly doesn’t mean that Proton or its CEO support the Trump regime.

Below is an article analyzing the entire episode, and before that a direct quote from the article if you want to get the basic idea with out reading the entire thing…

“However, being disillusioned with one party on one issue doesn’t mean that all of a sudden Andy Yen changed all of his stances and that now he’s actually pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. All of the evidence gathered suggests the exact opposite.”

The Palestinians have suffered more than enough, and the US is entirely complicit in that suffering already.

Fuck that shit. We don’t want your garbage. That country has already shit on us enough for generations.

I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.

It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?

I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.

Fuck, that last bit cracked me up. Consider it stolen.

I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.

Great info. Thanks so much! I’m no defender of Word or of Microsoft, so I’m always on the lookout for alternatives, though Libre Office most often suits my rather simple needs.

A glance at their website says that the data is only stored in Europe, though on Azure servers encrypted at rest to which Microsoft holds the encryption keys. That last bit is an absolute deal-breaker for me.

Zero- knowledge encryption or don’t waste my time. I’m not putting legal/medical/etc docs into the cloud with only a “trust me bro” from the creators of Co-Pilot.

“oligarchy of former terrorists”

Perfectly stated.

This is the dream. They’ve shit all over Latin America for almost a century. Enough already.

Again I’ll say it….Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

I wish it weren’t so, but you’re hitting all sorts of nails on the heads. Long live Rojava. Down with jihadis, and so long as the so-called Syrian army is headed by a jihadist, down with them.

Might sound crazy, I know, but I’m having trouble trusting a jihadist after what’s happened to Kurds at their hands in the last decade.

I may come to trust him slightly if he allows free and fair presidential elections, which I strongly doubt he ever will.
