    Yes, I think that a transparent upgrade that improves privacy is an obviously good thing.

    And seriously, they should have left. The law allows the Swiss government to force proton to alter the code run on their servers to satisfy requests from foreign governments. That is ridiculous.

    I explained both these things in the first post you responded to.

    1. Using email protocols between proton accounts means they need more meta data which is then given up on a search warrant.
    2. If they cared about privacy they wouldn’t be based out of Switzerland. They’d pick somewhere with more privacy rights.

    Proton can do what it likes when it comes to messages being sent between different proton accounts. Use of meta data rich protocols like standard email, instead of, e.g., the signal protocol, is absolutely something they can be blamed for.

    As is choosing operate from a jurisdiction that can comple them to collect IP addresses.


  • You know what’s even better? Proportional representation and an executive branch that answers directly to your elected parliament.

    Ranked choice or STV just means you continue to vote against Republicans and hope for the second worst option of Democrats, but you can feel better about yourself because you put a left-wing party down as your first choice.

    STV should only be used for figurehead positions with no real power.









  • Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion.

    Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war.

    In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it’s only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.
