  • Well, I am concerned. I paid $100+ on a proton bundle subscription during the Black Friday sale, it came with half a terabyte cloud storage, a fast and Private vpn, and a proton pass which integrates well with the email provider. It was cheap, and private, and it all works well together.

    Proton is owned 60 something percent by the proton non profit organisation, which makes regular donations to other private project’s like GrapheneOS. It’s worked well for me. But this is really concerning considering I oppose fascism, and broadly want to support a leftist, anti-capitalist movement.

    This also sucks because the far right want their internet privacy as much as the anti capitalist left. Does this mean proton is an evil company, that even if it has good, private technology, should be boycotted? When frankly, if the left boycotted, and didn’t participate in any capitalist organisation, we would likely starve to death.

    Could this just be a marketing issue? Ffs the consumer should not be blamed for the faults of a company, and using their product.

    The AI cost of water isn’t really a big deal in comparison to the consumption of water through crops and other means worldwide.

    I heard the cost of water for AI worldwide is 1/80 the water consumption of corn in America alone.

    What is a big deal is the money invested towards it is holding up our economy, (when it could be spent on making society better) creating fake news and impersonating humans at a rapid rate.
