@catsalad @brave Get in the same fucking hole as Proton.

Cogito ergo mecagoendios

@catsalad @brave As much as I'd love to think of ourselves wielding that kind of power, I'm more inclined to thinking that they realized it would be hard to shill their cheap short term cash grab scams in here.

Good riddance to the fecking thing.

@catsalad It is hard to keep track of which browser we should be using and I had not heard that Brave was on the no fly list.

What is the current in vogue browser I can use on a chromebook (either as an android app or in Linux)? Vivaldi as an app had problems playing videos.

@catsalad @brave Several social media accounts are listed, including Mastodon. Their Bluesky account last posted in January. I'm sad to say their X account is currently active.

@cR0w There was a third one that ran away too.

First I'm hearing of it. What did Proton do?

@catsalad @jackryder @cR0w I feel compelled to provide the counterpoint, which I think is important here. Yen is a dingus but might not represent Proton as a whole.

@catsalad @brainsuxx666 @cR0w

Oh, for the love of fuck! Can't tech bros just keep their dicks out of their mouth?

Thank you. I did not know that.

@catsalad Was it one of the password managers? I feel like it was but I can't remember for sure.

cR0w

@mttaggart @catsalad @jackryder That's fair but I was specifically talking about their Mastodon account, not necessarily the product or even the org here.

Cat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) :paw:⁠:paw:

@mttaggart @jackryder @cR0w Thanks for that. Proton's quick exit from the Fediverse entirely back when those accusations were going around sure felt like an admission to guilt.

Taggart

@catsalad @jackryder @cR0w Respectfully, that feels a bit like wishful thinking. If they are those people, they probably didn't feel guilty about it in the slightest. And regardless if they were or weren't all aligned with Yen's boneheaded comments, they probably figured that the amount of abuse they were taking was not worth the benefit of being here.
