Apart from fairphone which was already recommended a bunch of times I used to have a bq phone, an Aquaris U Plus that served me well for years. Obviously it's also not made in Europe since smartphone production is always unethical and you can't publicly announce that you're producing something with slave labor in Europe. But the company seems to have gone bankrupt anyway so that's in the past...
I wish racoons were less into human trash and more into trash humans as nutrition.
Yeah in theory that's a 50h game, but I can turn any game with a nonlinear plot into a 500h game, give me a side quest I love, a mini game or an open world that's interesting enough and I'll never finish the main quest.
Unlike some I'm not here to insult other people :)
Yeah you have a point there and I totally get how my comment was a bit shortsighted on that end, but I was just weirded out by the fact that a CEO's political position is supposed to be indicative of the future actions/positions of a company. Sure it's not entirely unlikely that it might affect the company in the future, but OPs post just felt a little like fearmongering to me.
Yeah you're right, I hadn't considered that because I never paid a single cent for anything Proton, that's a mistake on my part. Sometimes I forget capitalism is still a thing.
A comparison of singing the praises for a modern proto-fascist movement with "secretly loving Windows" is... certainly something.
If that's the takeaway you had from reading both of my comments then I honestly can't help you, but I can try to spell out my intent a second time:
I deliberately chose Linus Torvalds because he's basically Jesus of Lemmy but I didn't expect to be called a fascist over a dumb analogy I used to show that OP might be overextrapolating a CEO's standpoint onto a whole company. I agree that there is a not insignificant risk of this affecting the company, don't get me wrong, but this post just feels like fearmongering.
I agree that my analogy is fucked up and a little stupid, but I was just applying OPs logic: Andy Yen doesn't do any more for Proton than Linus Torvalds does for Linux; they're just stand in figures that people project their love or in this case hate onto. I doubt he personally wrote a single line of code for Proton. In that case Linus Torvalds is actually way more involved with Linux than Andy Yen is with Proton; Andy Yen might have more power over Proton but afaik and like you said Proton is owned in majority by its foundation, which I hope does get a say in what they do.
Protonmail has been my main email provider for the past 7 years, and unless its CEO decides to sell it to Trump or Musk I honestly don't see how his stupid private or not so private opinions are worth the hassle of changing my email for the million things I use my main and all the other emails I registered with Protonmail.
Most rich people have very dubious or outright awful political opinions and unless you're rich enough to have someone build you an alternative or deconnected enough from society/only exist in programmer circles and are able to live entirely on FOSS software I don't see why the average user should care about the CEO's political stance. Maybe that's my ignorant opinion as a European, but would you stop using Linux if you found out Linus Torvalds secretly loves Windows? Probably not.
Now it makes perfect sense why my very bi friend loves this game so much and why he tried so hard (and kinda failed) to get me to play it with him (I'm just not good at shooters).
I know I'm somewhere close to aphantasia, you didn't have to rub it in!
(Genuinely though, you might wanna consider providing some links like the VVIQ or a general definition of aphantsia before throwing around terms like "low-level vision" because otherwise you might unintentionally come across as a bit insulting)

This actually made me laugh, thank you!
But please, does anyone here want to mod an Expanse meme sub? I need memes like this in my life but I don't have the time to mod and I don't wanna go back to reddit :(
Can anyone explain to me why the handcuffs are tied to a chain around his body? It's obviously to limit his arm movement so he can't put someone in a e.g. a chokehold, but why are they not just holding his arms in that case? IIRC it's my first time seeing a chain used for that. Are they so afraid of him?
Which ads would feature the common, uncommon and rare Shatner if that one is already legendary?
