  • Name one more thing the CEO said or did, or that the company Proton said or did after that, that equals what any of the big GAFAM did.

    Finance the elections of a fascist that’s destroying democracy? Manipulating people’s opinion through their control of near totality of today’s most consimed media? Provide financing and tools to genociding nations? Sell your private information for profit? Provide all your personal information to governments without consent or without warrants for no reason? Underpay their employees? Literally hoarding all the world’s fortune?

    Go ahead.

    I’m sure that one comment on social media had a HUUUGE impact on the world and probably helped elect a despot and enabled rogue terrorist nations to commit genocides.

    So? Did he go off and finance Trump’s elections? Or finance any other fascists for that matter? Does he sell your data or does he respect your privacy? Did him or the company do any of the things that Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc have done?

    The answer is no.

    The CEO made a dumb comment about one of Trump’s picks for a role at one point. That’s it. Big fucking whoop.

    This is the problem with some of the folks out there. Some of y’all are asking someone or something to be absolutely 100% perfect and pure. You’d rather see something that has any potential of actually becoming something good and a real alternative and a competition to the big fascist eites out there die because of some small detail than pushing for its success despite it’s few flaws. Just like the Americans with the last presidential elections, who decided to snub Kamala Harris because she wasn’t elected in a democratic primary election, and instead let a blatantly fascsistic, opressive dictator fuck up their democracy to send the Democrats a message.

    Until Proton becomes the next bad guy, I’m sticking with them because they’re the only real alternative to what Google offers: an all in one package that’s incredibly convenient.

    /home because you want to save the user files if you need to reinstall.

    /var and /tmp because /var holds log files and /tmp temporary files that can easily take up all your disk space. So it’s best to just fill up a separate partition to prevent your system from locking up because your disk is full.

    /usr and /bin… this I don’t know
