Same, if they made a wallet for cards then I’d actually use my phone to pay for stuff

Fantastic, wish they prioritised stuff like this instead of AI but at least it’s here now. Now please make a dedicated contacts app so I can stop using Google contacts too!

Fair enough, I would also prefer if they pushed out an online excel/power point alternative before this or or allowed for more cloud storage.

That being said, I also don’t think this is a bad thing to do. It seems to work alright so if they can at least be at that level then that’s fantastic. I do wish they pooled their resources with other open source AI models cause that would be more efficient but maybe they have a good reason. I’ve just not looked into it cause I don’t use AI that often

Never do what exactly? Continue to be private?

Imo, having Proton just copy Google but actually be private is exactly what I want. Of course, if they stray away from privacy then there will be issues. I also feel like they are making good stuff. As a subscriber myself I don’t have many issues with their offering other than the stuff they don’t provide but Google does.

I’m a bit more hopeful that this situation might finally open people eyes to this scumbag. For me, it seems he’s dug his own grave since he hyped up that he would release this document and it’s importance so hard that everyone expected him to release it. Of course, when he u-turned so hard that he claimed it didn’t exist his base does seem to have realised this hypocrisy. I’m hopeful that once it is released and people see his name in it (at least I assume his name is in it, why else would he not release it?) then maybe he will get a big backlash.

That said, I also think there is a 50% chance that once the list gets released people may just shrug and move on. Like you said, there is other evidence they were best mates but since that came out through the courts his supporters don’t believe it to be true/damning enough. I’m sure there will be plenty of names he can shout from the rooftops to distract people. Maybe he even drops more tariffs to add to the distraction. Maybe fox news happens to not mention if he is in the list and people don’t bother to look at any other source.

Where is the bunny suit option?

Half-life 3 launch trailer! /s

Jk, in reality I’d love to see more about the new bond game. Was hoping they’d show more after they showed off the first trailer.

Agreed, I’m more cautiously optimistic (cause you never know how it’ll go) but IO do have a good track record. Hopefully they give themselves time to cook and make it excellent!

Hopefully FSR 4 becomes a standard feature like dlss has become

Hopefully it’ll get big enough they peripheral makes will finally make Linux native apps for their stuff. It’s one of the biggest hurdles to me moving completely to Linux

A 5060/70 ti can have 16gb but the 5070 just gets 12? Seems like Nvidia doesn’t want people to buy the 5070

My reaction too! I hope at some point they add it cause I’d buy it purely for the nostalgia

But Trump was the first president (since the US tried to break up Microsoft) to seriously start thinking about fighting big tech. Obviously for dumb reasons (they hurt his feelings) but still, I don’t think that statement is inaccurate. However, it is true he isn’t the first politician to say something against big tech. Even so, he was in a position of power to potentially do something about it (even if he never did and likely won’t now given how much they are bending the knee)

Regardless of what we think of his comments, it’s good that he is vocal about his opinions. Makes him seem like a person than some faceless CEO they says nothing.

He just got spicy with this 1 post and it hasn’t worked out for him and now the open source community Proton is a part of hate him. There is so much hate that they are leaving Mastodon which is a huge shame

So it’s naive to voice his opinion on what a Trump presidency could mean for the tech industry? Looking back to trump’s previous term big tech shunned him and Twitter even kicked him off the platform by the end of his presidency. Back then it pissed Trump off and he threatened all sorts of shit. I don’t think it was that crazy to think that he would still be upset about it and try to do something at the begining of December when Proton’s CEO made that post.

If you look at what proton is trying to do in terms of becoming a complete non-proffit that would have many safeguards in place to undo that change. I think it does show he has some level of forethought. The one caveat being that they have not completed that process and implemented everything yet so we’ll have to see if that promise follows through

Here is the CEO’s post along with a link to an article with the twitter link.

Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

He is supporting Trump’s pick for a roll, fair enough. But the rest of the post, he is talking about how he hopes the republicans will do something about big tech. He isn’t endorsing Trump himself or his stance of policies. Far as I’ve seen he never has. He it literally just stating what the republicans used to be about.

Damn that sounds impressive. Hopefully they can get this service deployed before the others do and they can start to claim some more market share

From a historical perspective, he wasn’t wrong. The republicans were looking more at big tech cause, in the past, big tech was very left leaning. Things have obviously changed but your quote misses that he was hopeful that Trump would do something for big tech. His hope is obviously miss placed after big tech started sicking his dick but doesn’t mean he couldn’t be hopeful

Agreed. I don’t support their decision to leave mastadon but I totally understand why they did it. Proton is on our side (as much as a company can be) so I don’t get why people keep ripping into them for something that isn’t true. He wasn’t saying he supported Trump, he just hoped the republican party would do something about big tech. Not gonna happen but we can all agree we hope it’ll happen
