against an enemy with similar technological and production capabilities?

We're talking about Russia here.

Somehow I doubt the bloated AI search engine works without JS.

I already posted several examples in this thread which you keep conspicuously ignoring, but here's another for you as I permanently exit this conversation. https://x.com/andyyen/status/1812442643726537182?mx=2

Cool, can you explain to us how your centrist approach would work in practice? Should Trump only remove some rights from trans people? Only deport 500,000 immigrants instead of one million?

Republicans are absolutely more likely to go after big tech than Democrats.

Do you not consider Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos "big tech"?

Here you go. https://imgur.com/a/vpho8GS

Why did you leave out the part about democrats being corrupt and republicans being champions of the little guy?

unless you’re stating that anything that praises the Republicans is full MAGA

If you'll read the thread, this is not the first time he has praised Trump.

I'm assuming you're arguing in bad faith, or you missed his uniformly glowing praise of Republicans and how they defend "the little guy" as opposed to the corrupt dems.

You need to read Andy's replies after people questioned him on that initial post. I linked to an archived thread in my OP, or you can check the Proton Mail subreddit.

The main problem with Tuta is their major uptime issues lately, otherwise I'd already have switched. They are IMO the only real alternative to Proton.

The article and the NYT one which it cites fail to mention if there's any historical precedent for this kind of arrangement. Is there?

I'm glad you find it amusing. Have you considered the reasons why somebody might want a private and encrypted email? Perhaps a person living in a country where their life would be at stake if the contents of said email account were to become public? Do you think that might apply to people in a country where the person being praised by Andy said he wants to strip many minorities of their rights?

Yes, how dare I suggest that someone who enthusiastically posts a screenshot of Donald Trump's Truth Social and says it's great and he agrees with it, is pro-Trump.

And a LOT of companies are going to suck up to trump in the hopes of not being made an example of by the wannabe mafia administration.

I could almost excuse that if they were American, but they are Swiss, as is Andy.

It's a completely brain-dead assessment. Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg are all Trump supporters.

FFS. Unfortunately there really isn't a good alternative to Proton right now (don't @ me about Tuta until you've seen how much downtime they had recently).

Agreed. Kgo Kbig Kor Kgo Khome.

Yes but still based in Gothenburg. Edit: oops, I thought Polestar did not, but they have a Swedish HQ too.

I would personally consider Volvo a Chinese company now, but there's evidently some nuance here that I'm missing.

Volvo only owns a minority stake of Polestar so Volvo is (at least on paper) much less "Chinese" than Polestar.
