@thrickles I’ve loved Proton since I first got it! I’m transitioning my stuff from OneDrive to Proton Drive as I’m pleased with their security and privacy focus. Especially in this current cycle of LLM shilling.
An investigation with Constella Intelligence searched the dark web for 2,280 official government email addresses from the British Parliament, European Parliament, and French Parliament.
It found that around 40% had been exposed, along with passwords, birthdates, and more.
Keep in mind, this is not a news story about a data breach or leak, This was a study, to see to what extent various countries politicians have been exposed.
I was one of the 10,000 #ProtonMail backers mentioned in https://youtu.be/gFZ1peR9SiY and have since personified sunk cost with a >6 TB Visionary plan. But if #Proton dilutes that vision, I will be ahead of you in the line to migrate and unsubscribe.
It's only a dumb rumor, but if this goes down we might as well turn off the lights on #gaming as we know it. Especially all the #Linux and #Proton goodness that #Valve has pushed forward.
@tallawk OK, you're wrong that ms could "just make a kernel and custom UI" magically materialize tomorrow or even next year, and they're very seriously working on a gaming version of Windows for handheld already, but you're obviously locked in on the idea that they hate Linux so...
They tried that a few years ago with the Steam Machines, which flopped (maybe partly because Proton wasn't ready?), and currently are doing it with the Steam Deck, which seems to be pretty successful.
Funny thing about all this is that Gabe Newell used to work at Microsoft and made lots of money there, which he used to found Valve (which seemed very Windows-focused in their first 10 years or so)
