Proton Mail says it’s “politically neutral” while praising Republican Party
The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.
Summary
Proton Mail, known for its privacy-first email services, faced backlash after CEO Andy Yen praised the Republican Party and its antitrust stance.
The company initially posted and deleted a statement supporting Yen’s comments, later claiming an “internal miscommunication” and reiterating its political neutrality.
Critics question Proton’s impartiality, particularly as it cooperates with Swiss authorities on legal data requests.
Privacy advocates warn that political alignments could undermine trust, especially for Proton’s users—journalists and activists wary of government surveillance under administrations like Trump’s.

gonna quickly post here, since I don't know quite where else would be good, but I noticed sometime last year that the website, https://standardnotes.com/ (a product owned by proton) seems to use a massive amount of AI generated imagery.
also: I thought I was a fool for not getting lifetime visionary when I could, now a little less so :)
Standard Notes is owned by Proton? I didn't know it lol
I only found out since I used standard notes before the ownership thing, I suppose I'm gonna have to look for a syncing note taking service again.
Have you considered self hosting a syncing note taking service?

it's worth some consideration I suppose. so long as it's not too resource intensive, it could be good to spin it up on my vps space
Provided you're not in need of fully fledged powerpoints, it would be fine to run them w/ little to no resources allocated to it. It just depends on your use-case, I suggest doing a backup of some sort and try out the various options. Unless you're setup allows you to freely try them all out in which case go nuts
I suppose I'll look for a decent service (maybe with spreadsheet support this time) and try to spin something up next week
Ah in that case you may want to look into paperless-ngx in the Document Management section:

thanks! I'll have to set something up when im not so busy, useful resources though :)
