no because inflation, but the price will probably fall to what it would naturally grow to if the bubble didn’t exist.

is that the one where they measure one half in BTUs and the other in KWh for some reason

no, i agree with you. i was just being facetious

i was assuming no logs policy being a given; without it, the VPN is worthless no matter how good privacy laws are in their jurisdiction.

they’re populists, and their policy is whatever gets them the most votes at the moment.

if you don’t give them any info then their jurisdiction doesn’t really matter. It might mean they’ll get shut down eventually, but it’s easy to move to a different VPN then.

price increase and yet still the cheapest i’ve seen for what they’re offering.

they’re efficient until not doing so majorly inconveniences you specifically

you can just edit the post. it’s not a problem

Blood doesn’t necessarily mean that DNA is also present.

the way it worked originally, pagerank. SEO, will never cease sadly; goodhart’s law n all, but it’s better than what we have now

They are, they’re even indirectly admitting it.

meaning, management has signed off on this.

they are becoming european google, hence enshittification is upon us.

ie. management signed off on this, meaning it’s just PR damage control; no one is “breaking the silence”.

without all that data they would be in the negative.

that $220M is pennies compared to what they got from selling that data

tuta or startmail probably

you can look at the privacy policy to see what they store unencrypted. tldr; don’t use if you suspect that governments are after you, but otherwise it’s fine. for governments i think protonmail is still the best option, but if that goes to shit, startmail is a valid alternative.

here, what the proton CEO is saying does concern the company itself, so it is a warning sign that things may get worse in the future.

this isn’t something i would immediately delete my account over, especially since i still have 2 years of VPN subscription left, and it’s still better than anything google; but i’ll hold off into putting more eggs into their basket, and see how it is after those credits run out.
