IVPN all the way?

All you have to do as a CEO is shut the fuck up and let your product do the talking. The less I hear about your shit views the more likely I am to stay with your product.

Was thinking of switching after the BS from last year. My subscription ended this month and I’ve finally finished changing my services. Also did not want everything in one basket.

Yeah lets cancel and move to m$ or google.

/s

Finally migrated to Proton in July, cancelled yesterday; had paid for the full year but have already started moving.

I was so happy to be supporting a company I believed in and was looking forward to the services getting better and better… Then the crap started to kick off: re-interviews for all, with us or against us mentality, cancelling the re-interviews, doubling-down and insulting your team, behaving like a petulant child. Then Bart posted the tone-deaf AI manifesto…and that seems to be it so far…

I get that AI is here, I get that the cat is out of the bag. It’s fair to suggest that it is no longer possible to not use AI in the codeflow… For me this less about AI=good/Bad, more about attitude and behaviour; and how that shapes the ethos.

On a side note, he’s smart for letting a lot of people back out of Proton services. The VPN speeds are better now.😆

Slagging off his employees, slagging off his customers. Real bright spark this guy.

Yeah, I canceled my sub. I have no idea if the CEO of my new email provider is any better, but I know that Yen is abusive to his employees, and that matters to me. I know he’s deep in the throes of AI psychosis, and that makes me not trust him at all. I’m gone.

I’m so glad I delayed switching over to proton.

Also fuck that guy. What an ass.

The original 404 Media article.

404 Media is a great publication with a strong track record. They are worth paying for.

Posteo mail, excellwnt provider, good ethics https://posteo.de/en

When someone shows you who they really are, believe them the first time. And sadly, this is who Proton is right now, this guy. And this is who the Proton board is, people who support this guy and his vision.

This is proton. Shop accordingly.

Canceled mine. Only did it for a month when Mulvad had their shit exposed. Lord. I feel for those who have to fully migrate.

I feel like a good rule of thumb for Andy to say something, seemingly publicly or privately, is to just take a breath and then shut the fuck up instead. It seems like nothing he ever says brings comfort and confidence to his company’s users.

Too late Andy. You are not going to be part of the tech overlord aristocracy, no matter how much you simp now.

Maybe it’s a good thing for you. May avoid the french doctor’s invention that way.
