I don't remember who I heard say it, but someone said Mozilla should have built a privacy-first Google ecosystem alternative similar to what Proton are doing, which could have allowed them to actually make some money outside of their Google search bribe money.
But it's too late for that now I guess :(
Wait was it privacy or was it having an intrusive "ai" bullshit thing? I can't remember exactly Jokes aside, proton is not something we should look up to. Blender is a great example of a thing where various people contribute and somehow nobody needs to suck off facebook, the thing works and is getting better, usually listens to their community, there is no bullshit corporate structure and a ceo that needs his parachute gilded etc
Yeah, but we're talking trust here. Why should they do privacy if they already give your data to some llm thing?
Unless you're using a non-Chromium browser, that is.
No, the point is in having a for profit org and something like the blender foundation. It's about trust, not just the crappy llm thing, about the thing where they say everybody wants this
Proton do appear to be trying to resolve some of the issues that come with being a for-profit company?
It's one of those things where you talk about them once they are done. I'm transitioning to quitting smoking
you cannot be privacy focused while being a for profit corporation
Good thing Proton is a nonprofit then 😊
Come again?
