I cant imagine buying a Raspberry Pi anytime within the past 5 years, let alone the past 2… If you don’t need your money that badly, give me a shout, I’ll put it to better use.

It’s my favourite variant and sees no shortage of use…these days…


When someone shows you who they really are, believe them the first time. And sadly, this is who Proton is right now, this guy. And this is who the Proton board is, people who support this guy and his vision.
This is proton. Shop accordingly.


And there are many other frontier models, some open, that do not police you like this. Cant put the shit back in the horse, no matter how much SaaS and other SW vendors threaten you.


Unfortunately… But yeah, you’re likely right… I can see it going that way.


That I know of? Runbox, Tuta and a handful of others…but those two I like.


This 100% actually stopped me from moving my mail hosting to Proton. I’m looking at Tuta now and alternatives. And it’s not even the AI stuff so much as his insane toxic behaviour towards his people…the AI psychosis is almost secondary…


yep, they’ve been turning up the dial for some time now …slowly implementing anti-mobile browsing nags and locking down content by classification. And good on them, nothing will ruin their run faster than their own enshittification efforts.


Yeah, self-host … then you end up on a VPS with a bad spam/RBL reputation because they have other customers being spammy dickheads, and their entire IP allocation is listed. This covers far too many VPS providers. So, when you’re trying to simply get things done, you end up randomly having to troubleshoot your emails not going through or ending up in remote spam folders.
Its a mess. Email sucks. Wouldn’t suggest self-hosting if you have low patience or are busy.


Oh no doubt. Gotta train those sociopaths to manipulate better.


Look at those bedroom eyes the Zuck is firing off there … I bet he’s thinking of smoking someone’s meat…


You’re not wrong with a lot of the substance there, but big tech doesnt own the corpus of AI, and it most certainly will still be around even if you were to dump all of big tech (which I am very much for…!)
I’m not into utilitarianism, just trying to be pragmatic here and not jump on the strong emotional reaction train… Unfortunately, LLMs are really useful tooling …and they simply are not going to go anywhere, so I like to direct efforts to responsible governance, not mob mentality campism.
Shit no go bakie in horsie, lets put the onus and responsibility on the individual and produce better guidelines.


I’m not pro-AI.
It’s based because he’s right. He’s looking at this from a tool standpoint. But too many people are lost the emotional sauce, unable to see the engineering and usefulness beyond how terrible it’s being used. Linus is an engineer, not a politician, not a fuckin business man… You’re all coming at him with the myopic and emotional vigor of evangelists.
We should put the responsibility on the person. Not all funnel into these fucking echo chambers, tone policing everyone’s little divergences from whatever stupid fucking camp you’re part of.
Linus made linux, wtf have you done?? Why should I put any stock into what you have to say?? What long running successes and judgment do you have to show???
You cant put the shit back in the horse, but have fun trying.


If you’re too much of a black/white thinker to be able to have an intelligent and mature conversation, there is nothing I can say to change your emotional response.
With that being said: Fuck big tech, fuck how AI is being used by it and large companies. Period. Full stop.


BASED LINUS


Modern bitches too dumb to stage1 without AI.


88x31 LETS FUCKING GO!¡11111111


The technical equivalent of Auto Tariffs… “Free Market” rugged individualism for you, socialism for them… Suck it up plebes!
