I’ve been a paid Proton Unlimited customer for several years now and aside from a few small complaints, I’m generally very happy with the services I’m paying for. I agree that there is too much focus on “sidequests” like Wallet and Meet before core products are fully rebuilt and meeting expectations. I agree that Linux versions and some feature implementations are taking a long time. However, I have a fully functioning suite of Mail, Drive, VPN, Calendar and more that meet 95% of my needs. To be fair, I’m sure the zero-access/zero-knowledge encryption aspect makes development much more difficult.

If you’re worried about political affiliations/interests, I’ll give you that Andy Yen has made a few worrisome comments. I’m not sure what to do there. Assuming there aren’t repeat occurrences, I’m satisfied with their statement about the French political figure sponsorship.

If it’s the FBI cases and subpoenas, it comes down to understanding the difference between privacy and anonymity, and knowing what strategy is required to achieve actual anonymity.

So why (especially on Lemmy) is there so much Proton hate/relunctancy? Eager to hear some non-biased, fact-driven thoughts here!

    It’s white meat chicken. I wouldn’t call it dry, but I was in the Navy for 12 years. I have something worse to compare it to. Plus quality of the food isn’t really down just to how it’s prepared, but how it’s processed, transported, and stored and they do pretty good at that. Compare their chicken to other fast food (looking at you McDonald’s) and it’s pretty decent. If a home cooked meal isn’t better prepared than fast food it’s probably not being cooked right.

    Also, to be very clear I have eaten there once (out of necessity while sleeping in an airport with nothing else open), and my experience was that it was a clean facility with pretty good customer facing service. What I know about pay scales and employee stuff comes from people I know who have worked there.
