So should the article have been about how awesome of a company Proton is for only complying to government requests for user data when legally required to?
Or should it be about how the FBI can indirectly force Proton to ID their customers via their payment information?
1. FBI sent request for user data to Switzerland.
2. Switzerland demanded data from Proton.
3. Proton complied and sent data to Switzerland.
4. Switzerland handed data to FBI.
There's really no other way of looking at this other than the FBI can ID you via your Proton account if you paid via CC.
I had read that last night, and I think it's a completely reasonable and informative statement.
...which is why I was surprised to wake up to notifications from your company accusing an NPO I partner with of using clickbait.
The story itself is defensible. That accusation is not.
Did you watch the @404media.co video or read the article?
If yes, did you happen to notice the part where they mentioned Proton'segal requirement, even including a response from Proton itself?
I'd love for someone to specifically point out how and where this article or video was misleading.
All customer data is stored on an anonymous starling
The story itself is a concerning example of a privacy-focused host's liabilities and limitations.
Your response to it is why I'll be migrating off of your services. 🤦🏻♂️
This is ridiculous, @protonprivacy.bsky.social.
You gave up the identity of a customer (as required by law) via an FBI request. You could be writing a guide on how customers can help prevent this from happening again, not frivolously attacking the integrity of a nonprofit journalism organization.
Is misinformation used more by those in power, or does it just seem like that because our access to information is so much broader?
If you spend $1,200 on a tiny puck with a few ultrasonic drivers in hopes to stop devices from recording your voice, you're going to be deeply disappointed.
I've built over a dozen of these devices throughout the years and even have a provisional patent for one.
Enjoy this little infographic. 🙉

Don't worry it'll work this time.
I wonder when we'll be concerned about the other Middle Eastern c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶r̶y̶ area-with-military harboring 90-400 nuclear warheads that the IAEA is barred from inspecting.
It seems like all the "I'm a lifelong Democrat but let me tell you why bombing schools is a good thing" people are deciding to open a social media account today.
Like I said, it discourages posting.
Threads and X have this functionality. I don't think it's too unreasonable to request it here.
The chair I use is actually a freebie "with no obligations or strings attached".
Almost 2 years later, I get an email at least once a month warning me that I haven't made my post quota for the chair with instructions and scripts for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
I always respond with "lol"
Yep. Some of them pipe into general LLM APIs.
But it's frustrating that Bluesky hasn't given users the option to at least enable this with their own API key.
Some of them work great for images!
YMMV depending on the service/model.
Also, for users who don't know already, there are Chrome/Firefox add-ons that do this, usually within the scope of free API limits.
I understand that it's frustrating, but asking users to type out the paragraphs from casual screengrabs is just going to result in them not sharing the screengrabs. 🫠
AI analyzes my videos and generates emails trying to associate my content with gaming chairs, but it can't transcribe a fucking screenshot of text.
Can we add this functionality so posts can be accessible for opt-in users, @bsky.app?

It's incredible to me that brands hire middleman marketing firms to use AI agents that make YouTube creators immediately hate them.
Going live to say a word about Flock, Denver, and Granbury Datacenter updates, then live code music for 2 hours.

Maybe he should have listened to my advice about privacy hygiene.
Want more? Fine.
H-Alpha is a type of red wavelength emitted from a hydrogen atom when an electron falls from the atom's 3rd to 2nd lowest energy level. Fortunately, this happens all the time allowing us to see shit like this.
I stared at the sun for a long time today. These shots have slight variations of air pressure precisely tuned between 2 mirrors, allowing a very thin wavelength of H-alpha lightwaves through that allow the human eye to view a star's chromosphere.
You know, like, when a 3 year old has a tantrum, finally gets what they wanted, but then can't wind themselves down so they just whimper and scan the room for something to be upset about?
Finally got a shot of NGC 2237 that I'm happy with. 🥹
Origin + H-Alpha, 700 exposures over 2 nights.
If you're worried that consuming my content will put you on some type of list, let that motivate you to learn more and help this growing community innovate new ways to push back and protect each other.
Do this so you can live your life freely without fear of oppression for viewing a YouTube video.
Well firstly, I had no idea I could publish from Obsidian. 🤯
When police and ICE join forces, community surveillance becomes government surveillance.
1. Me not tuning the air pressure in the H-Alpha pass filter
2. Me not stacking thousands of shots to correct lens artifacts
