their CEO publicly announced support for trump; anyone saying otherwise about proton’s proclivities is coping too hard – especially the ones in this community.
From what I understood: ONLYOFFICE is a fork of Libre Office by a russian company. NextCloud was using ONLYOFFICE for its built-in cloud office suite replacement.
Then they forked it with others to have greater control on the software with no communication whatsever to the company developing ONLYOFFICE without respecting their questionnable trademark restriction within ONLYOFFICE licence which I am still unsure if it was compatible with GPL licence Libre Office is using.
I have not seen evidence of Proton “going the far right route” yet. They are just sponsoring channels that ever mention privacy and far right ones frequently does that too. You can blame proton for no scrutinize, but not of siding with the right or the left. Proton is just focusing in mayor growth and nothing else, for better or for worse.
I read this. The guy criticising him seemed like a liberal chud, and the CEO, imo, seems like a centrist chud.
In fact, he seems like an anti corporation radical centrist.
Of course this is the dumbest thing for him to say, considering Trumps corruption with Elon Musk, and him having multi billionaire tech CEOs at his inauguration, clearly Trump is not against big tech.
I can’t see much of a problem with this, yeah Trump actually did started something useful for all the wrong reasons and the guy praised that, the company sponsoring far right weirdos is waaaay more problematic to be honest.
I was afraid Proton would eventually go down the far right route… and it seems like my fears came true

you can say this about literally every tech company these days.
Which is why we support Open Source like Firefox, Thunderbird, GIMP, NextCloud, LibreOffice and a whole lot more. :-)
Any good VPNs big dawg?
With euro office coming up, there was some musing that libre office has Russian roots, does that change the equation any?

I’d cut nextcloud from that list
Why?
very true; capitalists will always capital.
