Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! βœŠπŸ›‘
  • They have doubled down officially with their official Mastodon account https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503 I therefore consider this official opinion of Proton. Focussing on one aspect and completely ignoring the bigger picture of a luming fascist period in the most militarized economy of the world is just inacceptable. Proton just could have kept their mouth shut, but they decided not to.

    In an unexpected mask off "secure" email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton's services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let's collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here πŸ”πŸ‘‡

    Always try to provide:

    -Server location (jurisdiction)

    -Governance

    -Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency

    -User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)

    -Pricing and links

    If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

    Proton CEO embraces Trump for "standing up for the little guys"

    Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

    Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

    Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

    Running local LLMs for privacy as an alternative to ChatGPT, MS Copilot etc.?

    What are your thoughts on #privacy and #itsecurity regarding the #LocalLLMs you use? They seem to be an alternative to ChatGPT, MS Copilot etc. which basically are creepy privacy black boxes. How can you be sure that local LLMs do not A) "phone home" or B) create a profile on you, C) that their analysis is restricted to the scope of your terminal? As far as I can see #ollama and #lmstudio do not provide privacy statements.
