Calls it "Deepsneak", failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.

I can't speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.

Thank you. I've saved the link and will be disabling it next time I log in. Can't fucking escape this AI/LLM bullshit anywhere.

The combination of AI, crypto wallet and CEO's pro-MAGA comments (all within six months or so!) are why I quit Proton. They've completely lost the plot. I just want a reliable email service and file storage.

Once all that crap came out, I felt incredibly justified by never having switched to Proton.

It was entirely out of laziness, but still

I'm considering leaving proton too. The two things I really care about are simplelogin and the VPN with port forwarding. As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding

[–] fenndev@leminal.space 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Happily using AirVPN for port forwarding.

I'm strongly considering switching to them! How do you like it?

[–] fenndev@leminal.space 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The interface - GUI and website - is straight out of 2008 and documentation could be better, but otherwise it works just fine for torrenting and browsing. No complaints there.

Can you easily get config files to set up wireguard without having to use their app? Secondarily to that, how easy is their port forwarding setup?

[–] fenndev@leminal.space 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They have their own config generator and port forwarding is really easy to set up IMO. Both need to be logged in to see, though.

Thank you. I'm going to check them out. Appreciate the links and info!

Could you explain this part please? What makes them untrustworthy?

[–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not 100% sure if you mean what do I think makes proton untrustworthy, or what do I think makes other vpns untrustworthy?

If you're referring to proton, some of the statements Andy Yen have made recently are painting proton as less neutral than they claim to be.

I'm also generally aware that a LOT of vpn outfits are just a different company mining your traffic and data, and that there are few "no log" vpns that you can trust.

Despite their recent statements that sour my taste in giving proton money (and the ai bullshit that every goddam company is shoving down our throats), I trust proton when they say no logs. They're regularly audited for it.

I don't trust all these other VPN companies that claim to be no log and have nothing to back them up. Especially when several of them have been caught logging and mining/selling the data they claim to not be logging.

Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I'm not a VPN user so I'm not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products
