CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Between this, Proton and Firefox's change of terms, most of the advice I've seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it's going the way of the dino.

Self hosting is increasingly the path forward for the privacy concious.

the only one of these that surprised me at all was firefox going to shit, and that started months ago with a smaller thing.

What’s proton’s change of terms? I’m not privy.

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 13 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Firefox changed terms. Proton is just run by a twat.

[–] Stormy1701@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Proton is great though.

[–] s0upybl00per@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Too bad. Already paid for premium :(

Proton is fine, they use encryption, but don't expect anonymity, since it's email ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

im not aware of proton changing terms, but their CEO announced he has trump's dick down his throat. well, as far as it'll reach. between his lips, at least. so they can't really be trusted to not snitch at this point.
